.SURFACE PREPARATION cont.) .
CONCRETE PREPARATION – For coating over coated
concrete
For clear topcoat applications over newly coated surfaces,
the coating will need to be dry to allow foot traffic. Do not
walk of the coating while it is still tacky. Apply no earlier
than 8-10 hours after coating with RockSolid Floor Coating
and within 7 days. Ensure the surface is clean and dry
prior to application.
WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint from
any surface, you may release lead paint dust. LEAD IS
TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE
SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE;
ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN
SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH
approved respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up
carefully with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you
start, find out how to protect yourself and your family by
contacting the National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-
424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.
.PRODUCT APPLICATION .
MIXING
MIX ONLY ONE POUCH AT A TIME. Both components
and the environment should be pre- conditioned to a
minimum of 40ºF (4ºC) prior to use. Be sure the air and
surface temperatures are at least 5º above the dew point.
NOTE: RockSolid Textured Clear Topcoat must be
applied within 7 days of the RockSolid Floor Coating.
Thoroughly mix the material in the pouch by shaking it
back and forth and squeezing each side of the pouch.
Combine the two components Part A and Part B by
placing the pouch on the ground and rolling it from Part A
side towards Part B. The pressure created by rolling the
pouch will force the middle seal to burst allowing the two
components to mix together. Thoroughly mix the material
by shaking the pouch back and forth and squeezing the
edges and corners for 2-3 minutes. The product is now
activated and must be applied within 1 hour.
APPLICATION
Once the material is thoroughly mixed, use scissors to cut
a corner off the pouch. Pour the mixed material from the
pouch into a roller tray.
Note: Apply only when air, material and floor temperatures
are between 40-90°F (4-32°C) and the relative humidity is
below 80%. Extreme cold application temperatures may
slow the cure time. DO NOT apply the coating if
temperatures are expected to drop below 40°F for 48
hours after the application.
.PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
APPLICATION (cont.)
Use a ¼” nap roller cover (included) and 9” roller frame to
apply a thin coating evenly to the floor in 5’ x 5’ sections in
an “M” and “W” pattern. De-lint the roller cover prior to
application. Trim the edges as you go using the 3” paint
brush.
Continue working in 5’ x 5’ sections. Occasionally stir or
shake pouch to keep the product well mixed. Keep a wet
edge to prevent lap marks or sheen differences. Only one
coat is necessary over a coated floor (two coats are
required when applying over bare concrete). Do not coat
over control joints or roll over control joints. Use a flexible
control joint fill material if desired. Repeat the above steps
for each additional pouch.
COVERAGE RATE
Coated Concrete: Each Polycuramine pouch covers up to
200-250 square feet. Two pouches will cover up to 450-
500 square feet (2.5 car garage).
Bare Concrete: Two pouches will cover up to 200-250
square feet with 2 coats. Coverage may vary based on
condition and porosity of the concrete.
DRY TIME
Temperature and humidity may affect drying time. Do not
walk on the coating while it is still tacky. Surface should be
ready for foot traffic in 8-10 hours and vehicle traffic in 24-
36 hours depending upon temperature and humidity.
CLEAN-UP
Clean tools and equipment with acetone. Allow unused
product to harden in container and dispose according to
local regulations.
LIMITATIONS
This product must be installed at the specified spread
rates to perform as described. Do not apply in direct
sunlight. Do not apply product when the substrate and
ambient temperatures are steadily below 40°F (4°C).
SHELF LIFE and STORAGE
Twenty-four (24) months in factory delivered unopened
pouches. Keep away from extreme heat, cold and
moisture. Maintain at a proper storage temperature of 45-
90°F. Keep out of direct sunlight and away from fire
hazards.
