Preparation:

NEW OR UNPAINTED CONCRETE - Make sure that surface is sound and not crumbling. All contaminants including, but not limited to: dirt, oil, grease, mold and mildew must be thoroughly removed form the surface and pores of the concrete to insure that the paint has good contact with the cement. Remove oil, grease and any other contaminants with strong detergent,TSP, or degreasers and rinse thoroughly. Kill all algae and mold with bleach and rinse thoroughly. It is often advisable to pressure wash the surface to insure complete removal of contaminants. Slick or smoothly trowelled surfaces must be etched with a 10% muriatic acid solution until the pores are opened up to a sandpaper like ( 120-220 grit ) feel. Acid must be thoroughly rinsed after application. Be certain that there are no silicone/silicate type sealers or water repellents on the floor as they would have to removed with acid or by other means before application.

OVER OLD CONCRETE - WT-113 may be applied over most paints if they are firmly bonded to the surface. A test patch is highly recommended to insure compatibility. Make sure the surface is free of all contaminants and follow the cleaning instructions for new concrete. WT-113 may not adhere satisfactorily to some epoxies, polyurethanes, or silicate sealers. If uncertain, apply a test patch of WT-113 and check adhesion with duct tape after 2-3 days. Press tape down firmly on test patch and pull up sharply. If the paint pulls from the surface there is an adhesion problem and WT-113 should not be used.

Application:

NEW OR UNPAINTED SURFACES - Combine/mix both components of WT-113 well prior to use. Mix only enough product that can be applied in two hours. Mix 4 parts "A" ( color ) to 1 part "B" ( cure ). Apply with roller ( sheepskin ), brush or airless sprayer. Apply first coat, allow to dry ( 8-12 hours depending on weather ), then apply the second coat. Allow new concrete to cure a minimum of 30 days before painting. All curing compounds and form oils must be removed to insure proper adhesion.

OVER OLD PAINT - Old coatings must be sound and firmly adhered. Apply with roller, brush, squeegee or broom. Two coats are recommended. Apply first coat, allow to dry ( 8-12 hours depending on weather ) and then apply the second coat at right angles to the first coat. Old coatings should first be sanded to provide a "tooth" for adhesion.

Features:
  • Withstands most common chemicals
  • Water reducible
  • Water cleanup
  • Excellent durability and changeability
  • Attractive gloss sheen
  • May be clear coated with TRU-122 polyester urethane for maximum chemical resistance

The clear sealer may be tinted up to 1 Fl. Oz per gallon to achieve a mottled or translucent effect on interior masonry floors.

Limitations:
  • DO NOT APPLY when air or surface temperatures are below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, ( 10 degrees Celsius ) or are expected to fall there before coating can dry.
  • DO NOT APPLY when air or surface temperatures exceed 90 degrees Fahrenheit or lap marking may occur.
  • DO NOT APPLY to wet or damp surfaces.
  • ALLOW for slow drying during high humidity.
  • DO NOT ALLOW to freeze. Store above 32 degrees Fahrenheit ( 0 C).
  • DO NOT ALLOW paint to freeze. Store above 32 degrees Fahrenheit ( 0 degrees Celsius) .
  • Although resistant to oil, grease and most dilute household chemicals, TUF-TOP WT-113 will soften if exposed to brake fluid. If brake fluid is gets onto the surface, wipe up as soon as possible. This may soften the film temporarily.
  • TUF-TOP WT-113 will Amber /Yellow with U.V. exposure. Clear sealer will yellow significantly.
  • NOT RECOMMENDED FOR EXTERIOR USE, OR IN AREAS WHICH RECEIVE FULL SUN. CHALKING MAY RESULT.
Drying Time:

Normally dries in 24 hours and and can be walked upon after drying overnight at 72 degrees Fahrenheit. 72 hours are usually required before vehicle traffic is advised. Maximum cure will be achieved in 5-7 days. Low temperatures and high humidity can significantly extend drying and curing time. Moisture and dew on the surface will halt the curing process until the surface dries. This should be taken into consideration.
