Curing Time
| Temperature• | To Topcoat | To Place in Service |
|---|---|---|
| 75°F (24°C) | 7-8 hours (minimum) | 12-16 hours |
•Based on 50% relative humidity. Note: Curing time varies with surface temperature, air movement, humidity, and film thickness. Application in high-humidity conditions may increase curing time.
Floor/Horizontal Applications: If more than 72 hours have elapsed between coats, the coated surface must be mechanically abraded before topcoating. All surfaces must be clean, dry and free of contaminates. Note: There is no maximum recoat time if aggregate or flake has been broadcast to refusal into the preceding coat. Curing time varies with surface temperature, air movement, humidity, and film thickness.
Wall/Vertical Applications: If more than six (6) months have elapsed between coats, the coated surface must be mechanically abraded before topcoating. All surfaces must be clean, dry and free of contaminates. Curing time varies with surface temperature, air movement, humidity, and film thickness.
Finish
Gloss
Recommended DFT
Primer, Intermediate, or Topcoat: 2.0 to 12.0 (50-305 microns) per coat. Note: For airless spray a minimum of 3.5 mils (90 microns) is required.
Broadcast: 1/16" to 1/8" (double broadcast or slurry broadcast required to achieve 1/8")
Mortar: 3/16" to 1/4” (minimum of 1/8”, maximum of 1”)
Grout coat: 8.0 to 12.0 mils (203 to 305 microns)
