Surface Preparation

Clean the floors to be coated by removing any oil, grease, or other contaminants that might interfere with the proper adhesion of the A-1325 Acrylic Urethane. Ensure that floors are structurally sound and fully cured a minimum of 28 days. Test the floor for vapor drive in accordance with ASTM D4263. Mechanical profiling is the preferred floor-preparation method. Mechanically profile the floor to a medium-grit sandpaper texture and remove curing and parting compounds and other surface hardeners and floor coatings. Acid may be used to etch bare concrete floors to the proper profile when mechanical abrasion is impractical. Make sure the surface is thoroughly clean before etching.   Etch all unpainted cement with 1 part 10% muriatic acid to 1 part water. Allow to stand 10-15 minutes then rinse clean with water. After etching, neutralize acid with baking soda or soda ash then rinse thoroughly with water. A properly etched concrete surface should resemble the texture of fine or medium sandpaper. Let dry thoroughly before applying coating.

 

Test area

Apply a test area to ensure proper appearance and adhesion.

 

Application Specifics

Important weather guidelines:

1. Apply on warm, clear, sunny days.
2. Do not apply under foggy conditions.
3. Do not apply when rain is forecast within 24 hours.
4. Do not apply if temperatures are expected to drop below 50oF within 24 hours.
5. Apply 2 thin coats for best results. (Use 1/4” or 3/8” nap roller cover).

 

Do not apply in direct sun light over 75 degrees 

 

Coverage

A-1325 Acrylic Polyurethane Top Coat may be rolled, brushed or sprayed. The coverage will vary with surface porosity and profile. You can expect up to 400 square feet per gallon on a smooth surface and between 250 to 350 square feet per gallon on a rough surface. For best results apply two thin coats. A-1325 can be thinned with up to two parts of water.

 

Application

Brush, roll or spray. Do not shake. Shaking will cause air bubbles. Stir gently and thoroughly before application. This product appears milky when wet, but dries rapidly to a beautiful clear coating.

 

Important

Do not apply late in the day or when dew, rain, fog or mist is likely (moisture will damage the fresh paint film). Apply at temperatures above 50 degrees F. Do not apply if temperatures below 45 degrees are expected within 24 hours. Cold weather or excess humidity or a sudden temperature drop will greatly affect any finish at the time of application. Dampness can dull the gloss. Do not paint in direct sun. Use a clean brush or roller. For maximum durability, we recommend at least two thin coats.

 

Drying Time

Dries within 30 minutes and can be recoated in 4 hours. Ready for use 12 hours. Drying time will vary with weather conditions, air circulation and temperature.

 

Thinning

Thinning is not recommended. A-1325 can be thinned with up to two parts of water.

           

Clean-up

Clean tools and hands with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
