1 The Right Finish for Your Concrete Floor

2 About FLEXMAR Coatings Polyaspartics That Are Simple by Design Flexmar understands that the floor is key to the appearance and functionality of any space. And we understand that your clients depend on you to specify the best products and systems to meet their needs and budget. That s why you can trust the polyaspartic leader, FLEXMAR Coatings, to provide the coatings, stains, and sealers that are simply unmatched in quality, durability, performance, and ease-of-application. Our Self-Prime HS and Clear Coat HS two-component polyaspartic coatings feature: Virtually no odor, so the coatings can be applied even while buildings are occupied. True rapid re-coat and return to service, in about one hour, minimizing downtime and helping to prevent delays in already tight project schedules. Superior adhesion to concrete and other properly prepared substrates, ensuring that the coatings won t chip, peel, bubble, or blister. Excellent vertical hang, so Flexmar polyaspartic coatings can be used as a self-coving material. No special coating products are required. Low-temperature cure as low as -30 F (-34 C). And all FLEXMAR Coatings products are 0 VOC and can contribute toward satisfying credits under the U.S. Green Building Council s LEED program. Polyaspartic? Polyurea? Polyurethane? Just what is a polyaspartic? The name polyaspartic is used to differentiate it from polyureas and polyurethanes. A two-component polyaspartic is an aliphatic polyurea because it is the reaction of an aliphatic polyisocyanate with a polyaspartic ester, an aliphatic diamine. However, polyaspartic coatings are very different from conventional polyureas in both application and coating performance properties. They are actually more like 2-component aliphatic polyurethane coatings in application and performance characteristics, but faster in walk-on time. A FLEXMAR polyaspartic coating is an aliphatic polyurea coating... a high-performance polyurea polymer coating for exceptionally durable, weatherable, non-yellowing, color-stable, fast-curing, and cost-effective coating for your concrete surface. Why FLEXMAR? When you need the right finish for your concrete floor, there are many reasons to choose FLEXMAR. For years, FLEXMAR Coatings has been the leading manufacturer of polyaspartic coatings, stains, and sealers. FLEXMAR continues to lead the industry by listening to the needs of our applicators and end users, and using that feedback to constantly improve polyaspartic coatings Flexmar polyaspartic coatings are manufactured with raw materials invented by a global leader in coatings raw materials: Bayer MaterialScience. technologies and enhance the ease of application and performance of our coatings systems. Bottom line, FLEXMAR polyaspartics are simply the best coatings for the job. Simplicity At FLEXMAR, we only use total two-component polyaspartic coatings systems, and we ve engineered them to be the most user-friendly in the industry. Only FLEXMAR polyaspartics offer all of these features in one complete package: 0-VOC Coatings All FLEXMAR polyaspartic coatings are 0 VOC, exceeding compliance requirements in the U.S. and Canada. Low-to-No Odor Our high-solids coatings have virtually no odor. They can be applied with minimal disruption even while facilities are in use! Longer Open Time FLEXMAR polyaspartics feature a working time of up to 15 minutes, even in most adverse weather conditions, so keeping a wet edge, back rolling, and broadcasting chips is no challenge! Rapid Re-Coat and Return-to-Service All of our coatings can be re-coated in about 1 hour and the floor surface returned to service in about 1 hour after the final coat, maximizing efficiency for the applicator and minimizing down-time for the end-user! Self-Coving Coating With Flexmar, there s no need for special coatings or materials just to create coving. Our polyaspartic coatings and sealers all feature excellent vertical hang, so they can be used as an integral cove base. 1:1 Mix Ratio Our two-component polyaspartic coatings systems all feature a simple 1:1 mix ratio by volume, eliminating complicated measurements and guesswork for applicators. Superior Adhesion to Concrete We don t believe in compromising performance for open time. That s why FLEXMAR polyaspartics feature adhesion to concrete and other properly prepared substrates that is second-to-none! There s no bubbling, blistering, or peeling... and no call-back! Factory-Pigmented Coatings Our coatings come already pigmented from the factory. Don t worry about adding packets of pigment paste or matching color from batch to batch! In fact, FLEXMAR pre-pigmented coatings have a higher density of pigment for superior hide and filling over concrete! Environmental Responsibility FLEXMAR Coatings is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council, and our coatings and sealers can contribute toward satisfying credits in the Indoor Environmental Quality and Materials and Resources categories under the LEED program. From surface preparation, to application, to return-to-service, and beyond, FLEXMAR polyaspartics offer significant reductions in materials waste, energy consumption, air contaminants, and materials use or waste from required maintenance and cleaning over the life of the concrete surface. They can even extend the useful life of existing floors, which reduces wasteful removal and replacement. 2 3

Proper surface preparation is required for decorative-concrete, thin-film Class-A-type flooring systems or sealer/finish coatings. This is best achieved with mechanical grinding machines using diamond heads achieving a final 50- to 120-grit profile. Recommended surface profile is SP-2, Reference ICRI Technical Guideline No All receiving surfaces must be free of previous coatings, sealers, curing compounds, water repellants, laitance, efflorescence, oils, fats, grease, waxes, residues from cleaning compounds, nonvisible soluble salts, and any other impediments to adhesion. The resulting surface must be a neutral ph 7. Always check for potential bond breakers. One method is simply wiping the surface of the prepared concrete with a dark cloth. If white powder is present it should be removed. Another method entails pouring a slight amount of water on the concrete in random areas. If the water is absorbed into the concrete and leaves it wet, the substrate 10 11

7 FLEXMAR Product Information, continued is porous and thus acceptable. If water beads up, this indicates a bond breaker is still present and further surface preparation steps are necessary, such as additional mechanical grinding. The rising moisture vapor emission rate must not exceed 3 pounds per 1,000 square feet (3 lb/1,000 ft²) over a 24-hour period as measured by the calcium chloride test method, ASTM-F The relative humidity in the slab must not exceed 80 percent. Any repairs that are not associated with normal cleaning and surface preparation work (i.e., cracks, chips, pitted/severe spalls deemed non-structurally sound or have levelness issues) must be properly addressed and remedied prior to application of the coating due to the fact that coatings follow the contours of the existing substrate. All spalls and cracks should be repaired in accordance with ICRI standards. Mixing Mix Part A and Part B in equal parts (1:1) by volume using a clean, dry, working pot. Stir gently using a mechanical stirrer, avoiding overmixing or creating a vortex that would introduce moisture. Do not mix at or below the dew point, which will shorten the pot life. No induction time is required prior to use. If micro-media agents are to be incorporated, they are to be added after thorough mixing of A and B. Application Instructions Apply using roller, squeegee, or magic trowel. The roller must have an industrial-grade, phenolic-resin core with a synthetic-nap or lambs-wool cover, 3 4-inch nap, 18-inch width. Always use good air ventilation to remove evaporating solvents in enclosed areas. This product is not recommended for application using spray atomization or for do-it-yourself applications. Cleanup Use Xylol or MEK. DO NOT USE ALCOHOLS. Storage and Shelf Life The product must be stored in tightly sealed containers in a climate-controlled, dry location at normal room temperature. Containers which have been opened for use must be re-sealed immediately. Safety Precautions Polyaspartic aliphatic polyurea products contain chemical ingredients that are considered hazardous. Read the container label warning and Material Safety Data Sheet for important health and safety information prior to use for details on the safe handling and use of these products. Working Time Up to 15 minutes working time exists, even in most adverse weather conditions
