Concrete Preparation

Before coating is applied, concrete must be:

• Dry – No wet areas
• Clean – Contaminants removed
• Profiled – Surface etched
• Sound – All cracks and spalled areas repaired

Mechanical preparation is the preferred method of preparing concrete for coating application. Shot-blasting, diamond grinding, and scarifying are all acceptable methods.

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. If a non-UPC patching material is used, contact a UPC technical representative for a compatible and approved alternative.

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 and color. A sample area should also be done on any existing coatings to determine if any contaminants exist or if delaminating will occur.

Mixing

The ratio of UPC 9505 is pre-measured and no volumetric mixing is needed. One Color Pack should be used per each Unit 1 Kit. Use a drill and mixing paddle to mix the following. Note: If using a drill mixer, use a low speed (not to exceed 300 rpm) to prevent air entrapment.

1. Pour Pre-Measured A and B containers in 5 Gallon pail.
2. Mix A and B parts for 1 minute.
3. Next, Slowly add 1 Part C powder bag under agitation.
4. Mix all 3 parts for 2 minutes.

*For Color: Add Color Pack into last minute of Powder/Final Mix.

Note: To ensure proper and consistent mixing, scrape walls of mixing vessels while mixing to achieve uniform mix

Application Instructions

INSTALLATION

1. Apply properly mixed material on the floor, pouring the entire contents of bucket in a long continuous bead.
2. Using a notch squeegee at the desired setting, rake material evenly.
3. Immediately backroll wet material with a loop roller. Backrolling removes any unevenness left by the rake and breaks surface tension. This generally requires the user to wear spiked shoes, allowing him to walk in the wet resin mix.
4. Remember to keep a wet edge by bringing a continuous supply of newly mixed material to the area being coated.

Hand Trowel INSTALLATION

If going over uneven surface or prepped tile joints, hand trowel install is recommended.

First complete all the above steps of mixing instructions.
1. Apply properly mixed material on the floor, pouring the enough material for about 10-15 fit for installer that will be hand troweling.
2. Using a smooth hand trowel apply material evenly and smooth over the floor. Ensure to smooth out all trowel marks/lines.
3. Remember to keep a wet edge by bringing a continuous supply of newly mixed material to the area being coated.
4. Wait approximately 5-10 min for material to relax and become smooth and level before beginning next step.
5. Next step will require the user to wear spiked shoes, allowing him to walk in the wet resin mix. Begin broadcasting the poly chip blend in the troweled coating. Broadcast by throwing the chips upward, allowing the chips to rain down into coating evenly.
6. Broadcast until refusal.

Clean-up

UPC 9505, while in a un-reacted state, may be cleaned up with water and degreaser. Isopropyl alcohol or acetone may be needed once the resin begins hardening. Lastly, a strong solvent like xylene may be required if resin is nearly set up.

Vertical Mix

UPC 9505 can be made into a vertical mix by following these steps:

1. Mix 3 quarts of UPC 9505 Part A and 3 quarts Part B per previous mixing instructions, then add 3 quarts Part C.
2. Slowly add 1 gallon of UPC Viscosity Modifier into mix.
3. Next, add in 2 gallons of 30-40 mesh silica. Adjust per temperature conditions.

Product Limitations

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 (saw cuts) and random cracks should be saw-cut or chased first then filled with UPC 777 Perfect Patch. Construction/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 application. Please refer to the UPC Limited Material warranty for additional clarification.

Safety

Consult UPC 9505 safety data sheet. Avoid UPC 9500 contact with skin. Some individuals may be allergic to urethane and isocyanates. Always wear protective gloves, eyewear, and clothing.
