Uses:
- May be used as a high level, industrial strength polyaspartic topcoat over properly prepared and primed aluminum, carbon steel, galvanized, concrete and cinderblock
Where:
- Long term color retention is desired
- Long term gloss retention is desired
- Low environmental footprint is desired
- Product can be applied either by brush, roller or spray
- Outstanding chemical resistance
- Excellent flexibility is needed
- Fast dry times are important
Not recommended for:
Compatibility with other coatings:
- Slide-Lok polyaspartic can be re-coated with itself following a surface prep. Using an abrasion pad (contact Slide-Lok for recommendation) rough up the surface of the desired area to be re-coated and wipe clean with acetone.
- Slide-Loks polyaspartic bonds well with other polymers with proper surface preparation. Consult Slide-Lok with previous coating specs for details.
- Slide-Lok polyaspartic may be used over most aged and hard-cured coatings in good condition with proper preparation and abrading. Testing for lifting, bubbling and adhesion is recommended to assure compatibility with unknown coatings. Contact Slide-Lok representatives for specific recommendations.
Maximum Service Temperature:
Color:
- Slide-Lok polyaspartic is a solvent based component which can be mixed with any 844 solvent based pigment color.
Packaging:
- Slide-Lok packages its products in either a six (6) gallon kit consisting of three (3) gallons of catylist and three (3) gallons of polyl or a two (2) gallon kit consisting of one (1) gallon of catylist and one (1) gallon of polyl. Unless specified and agreed on by Slide-Lok representatives all product is shipped to the customer clear, and a pigment is provided which can be mixed in for proper coloring effect.
Shipping Weight:
- Six gallon kit weighs 60 pounds
- One gallon kit weighs 9.5 pounds
- One quart of pigment 2 pounds
Shelf Life and storage Conditions:
- Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Storage conditions should be between 35F and 120F
Shelf Life:
- Twelve (12 months minimum.
Theoretical Coverage Per Gallon:
- 250 ft sq @ 1 mil (Prime Coat)
- 350 ft sq @ 5 mil (Color Coat)
- 250 ft sq @ 5 mil (Top Coat)
Suggested film Builds:
*See attached spread rate chart
Surface Preparation:
- Let new concrete age for 28 days before preparing surface and applying coating. Slide-Lok recommends the use of a diamond grinder for dry mechanical preparation of surface.
- If acid etching contact Slide-Lok for recommended procedures.
- Newly primed surfaces should be clean and dry. If contaminated, detergent/water wash, then blow dry. Previously painted surfaces should have all loose paint removed and the edges feathered. Prime bare spots with appropriate primer.
Activation:
- See Slide-Lok mixing instructions
Reduction:
- 25 to 40 ounces of acetone (urethane grade only) will reduce the product to roughly 60% +/- 2% solids content.
- 16-25 ounces of acetone (urethane grade only) will reduce the product to roughly 65% +/- 2% solids content.
- 4-8 ounces of acetone (urethane grade only) will reduce the product to 70% +/- 2% solids content.
- If faster recoat and handling are required mix in Slide-Lok’s accelerator product at intervals of 2 ounces until desired speed is achieved do not exceed more than 16 ounces of accelerator per gallon.
Application Thinners:
- A urethane grade acetone that contains no more than 1/10th of 1% water by volume is recommended.
Application Conditions:
- Do not apply if the application surface is wet or if the surface temperature is below 20F or exceeds 150F
Application Equipment:
- Apply by either spray brush or roller
Spray:
Roll:
- Manufacturer Wooster 3/8 tight nap roller (white)
Additions:
- Add either 4, 8, 16, 25, or 40 ounces of acetone to eliminate bubbles and roller lines. Slide-Lok recommends cross rolling to reduce roller lines. See mixing instructions for recommended amounts of acetone.
For best results allow 2 minutes of mix time. |
