Physical Properties

Product Data

Concrete Preparation

Before coating is applied, concrete must be:

• Dry – No wet areas
• Clean – Contaminants removed
• Profiled – ICRI-CSP 2-3
• Sound – Cracks and spalled areas repaired and ground

Mechanical preparation is the preferred method of preparing concrete for coating application. Shot-blasting or diamond grinding are recommended to achieve ICRI-CSP (surface profile) 2-3.

Patching

Voids, cracks, and imperfections will be seen in finished coating if the concrete is not patched correctly. Patch concrete with UPC Perfect Patch. After the patching material is cured, diamond grind patch as necessary.

Mixing

The ratio of UPC 5200 Moisture Lock is 2 to 1. That is, two parts A (resin) to one part B (hardener). Generally, three mixed gallons of UPC 5200 at a time is ideal for application. Mix the following with a drill and mixing paddle. Note: If using a drill mixer, use a low speed (not to exceed 300 rpm) to prevent air entrapment.

1. The Unit 1 kit allows the UPC 5200 Part A container to be used as the complete mixing container. Add entire contents of UPC 5200 pre-measured Part B and mix for 2-3 minutes.
2. If using the Bulk 15-Gallon Kit, premix UPC 5200 Part A for 30-45 seconds. Pour out 2 gallons into an empty 5-gallon bucket, which then becomes the mixing bucket.
3. Or If using 3-Gallon kit, Premix the 2 gallons Part A in its 3.5 Gallon pail.
4. Add 1 gallon of UPC 5200 Part B into the premixed 2 gallons of Part A and mix for another 2-3 minutes.
5. UPC 5200 is designed to be immediately poured on the floor. Leaving mixed product in the container will greatly reduce working time. Once poured out on the floor, 20-30 minutes of working time can generally be expected.

Application Instructions

1. Always apply in descending temperatures. Concrete is porous and traps air. In ascending temperatures (generally mornings) the air expands and can cause outgassing in the coating. It is safer to apply coatings in the late afternoon, especially for exterior applications.
2. Optimum ambient temperature should be between 65-90°F during application.
3. Mix 5200 Moisture Lock using above mixing instructions.
4. Apply approximately 100-130 SF per gallon (100 SF per gallon for 16 mil and 130 SF for 12 mil) by immediately pouring out on surface in a ribbon, while walking and pouring at the same time until bucket is empty.
5. Using a squeegee on a pole, pull UPC 5200 over substrate while uniformly covering surface.
6. Using a 3/8” non-shedding phenolic (plastic) core paint roller, roll coating forwards and backwards.
7. Lastly, back roll in the opposite direction as step 6.

Testing

All surfaces are not the same. It is recommended that a sample area be done before the start of the project. The test should be done on-site, using the proposed method by the assigned applicator to ensure proper adhesion.

Clean-up

UPC 5200 Moisture Lock, while in a un-reacted state, may be cleaned up with soap and water. Acetone may be needed once the resin begins hardening.

Product Limitations

• Interior use only
• UPC 5200 is not a waterproofing membrane and is not intended to stop liquid water intrusion through or into the slab.
• Not for use over any other substrates other than concrete slabs cured for a minimum of 10 days at 70°F

UPC 5200 Moisture Lock can be applied to green concrete that has had at least 10 days to cure. The surface to be coated with 5200 Moisture Lock must be free of moisture-sensitive patching and leveling materials, adhesives, coatings, curing compounds, concrete sealers, efflorescence, dust, grease, oils and any other materials or contaminants that can act as bond breakers.

Coating systems are susceptible to cracking if the concrete moves or separates below the coating. Hence, joint and crack treatment should be reviewed prior to coating application. As a general rule, control joints and random cracks should be saw cut or chased first, then filled with UPC Perfect Patch. Cold joints (two slabs which meet and hence move) should be treated. After the coating has been applied and cured, saw cut through the coating over construction joints and apply elastomeric caulking.

Warranty

Universal Polymer Coatings products are warranted for one year after date of purchase. Please refer to the UPC Limited Material warranty for additional clarification. UPC 5200 Moisture Lock can also come with an additional warranty per job. Please contact UPC Representative for additional information and how to obtain additional warranty coverage.

Safety

Consult UPC 5200 Moisture Lock Safety Data Sheet. Some individuals may be allergic to this coating. Use of safety goggles, protective gloves, and clothing when using this product is recommended. Perform work in a well-ventilated area.
