PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.)
APPLICATION
Apply only when air, material and floor temperatures are
between 40-90°F (4-32°C). Optimal installation temperature
is 55-90°F (13-32°C). Extreme cold application temperatures
may slow the cure time.
Do not apply in direct sunlight.
Do not coat the floor if it is raining or if extremely damp
conditions exist. The concrete surface must be completely
dry at the time of the application to achieve proper adhesion.
Once the material in thoroughly mixed, use a scissors to cut
a corner off the pouch. Pour the contents of the pouch
directly onto the floor in a 2-3” wide ribbon about 4’ long.
Trim the edges from the poured ribbon of material using a
good quality synthetic brush. Roll out the ribbon evenly
working in 4’ x 4’ sections in an “M” and “W” pattern.
Continue working in 4’ x 4’ sections, pouring a new ribbon 2’
away from the previous section. Use the roller to pull the
material back first; then push forward to fill in the void
between sections. Overlap into the previously coated areas
while taking care to avoid creating thick spots.
If decorative chips are to be used, toss the decorative paint
chips onto the wet coating. Leave a 6”-12” section of wet film
without decorative chips. This section will be rolled into when
coating the next 4’ x 4’ area. Skip this step if paint chips are
not desired. The coating performance will not be affected.
Do not coat or roll over control joints. Use a flexible control
joint fill material if desired. Repeat the above steps for each
additional pouch.
SQUEEGEE APPLICATION
(for large areas)
Pour mixed material onto the floor in a large ribbon about 12”
wide, starting about 12” off the wall. Cut in using a good
quality synthetic brush. Using a 1/8” notched squeegee,
spread the material thin and even over the surface. Once an
area of about 6-8 feet has been spread, use a roller to back-
roll the material to even it out. With a fully saturated roller,
use an “M” and “W” pattern to spread the coating on the floor
evenly. Follow up with a cross-roll perpendicular to your
original roll. Only one coat is necessary. Product must be
used within the pot life indicated (see Application Chart) or
gloss and color may appear uneven.
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
Each Polycuramine pouch covers up to 200-250 square feet.
Coverage may vary based on condition and porosity of the
concrete.
PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.)
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 mineral spirits. 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
Sixty (60) 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.
