PERMACOAT 2000 is ideal for use with color quartz. The use of a color quartz aggregate provides a decorative finish to a tough industrial floor.

The system consists of two components, resin and hardener, in both the horizontal and vertical formulations. Application of PERMACOAT 2000 is accomplished with rubber squeegees and short nap paint rollers.

FUNCTION
The PERMACOAT 2000 system is designed as a medium-duty (16-60 mils) floor coating where color stability and gloss are important. PERMACOAT 2000 can be installed over most sound floors including old or new concrete, steel or wood, providing a cost effective alternative to high-build toppings.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

• Food processing
• Laboratories
• Breweries
• Showrooms
• Hallways
• Lunchrooms
• Restrooms, etc.

FEATURES
PERMACOAT 2000 allows for fast, easy applications. In addition, the system provides a color-stable, stain-resistant finish.

OTHER FEATURES INCLUDE:

• Rapid cure resulting in minimal 'downtime'
• Odor-free
• Non-skid safety finish optional

MIXING
Prior to application of the PERMACOAT 2000 the Resin, Hardener, and Silica and substrate should be between 70 degrees and 95 degrees F.

Premix the Resin (Part A) for 30 seconds using a Jiffler mixer blade attached to a 500-750 RPM drill. Add the Hardener (Part B) only when the batch is ready to be applied. Mix for approx. 90-120 seconds. After mixing pour immediately onto floor.

APPLICATION
Use a rubber squeegee to spread the resin over the pre-measured area to be covered. Immediately back roll the PERMACOAT 2000 with a short nap (1/8 inches) wool or mohair roller. At this point several pre-specified readings should be made with a wet mil gauge to assure uniform coverage. After the coating has been back rolled and uniform thickness verified, the surface may be saturated with a silica or color quartz broadcast.

Note: When using color quartz, clear PERMACOAT 2000 will be used in both the first and second coat. The color is provided by the quartz itself. This allow for the use of tweed patterns, and minimizes the visibility of scratches.

SAFETY
PERMACOAT 2000 contains blended Epoxies as the resin and blended Amines as the hardener. Protective clothing and gloves are recommended to prevent sensitization to these materials. In case of ingestion or eye contact, contact a physician immediately. MSDS are available for this product upon request.

CURE TIME
The cure time of PERMACOAT 2000 and other resinous systems is very dependent upon the temperature of the substrate. The chart below represents the approximate times for the respective service conditions, following the last coat:
 

CLEAN-UP
All mixing and application equipment should be cleaned immediately after use. If this is done, soap and water, or biodegradable cleaners can be used. If the material has begun to set, more aggressive solvents may be necessary. Before using solvents, refer to their respective MSDS for handling considerations.

MAINTENANCE
For systems designed for splash and spill exposures, routine washdowns are recommended to reduce the length of chemical exposure. This step is not necessary where the product is recommended for containment service.

WARRANTY
For product warranty see ChemProof Polymers, Inc. "Standard Limited Warranty." If one is not included with this literature contact your local distributor or ChemProof Polymers, Inc. for a copy.

STORAGE & SHELF LIFE
PERMACOAT 2000 should be stored at 50-90^oF out of direct sunlight. All containers should remain unopened until ready for use. If stored as set out above, PERMACOAT 2000 has a minimum shelf life of one year.

WHERE PERMACOAT 2000 SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED
PERMACOAT 2000 should not be applied over substrates:

• which are wet during the application
• subject to hydrostatic pressure
• which are unsound
• which are contaminated and cannot be cleaned
• at temperatures below 70^oF (consult ChemProof Polymers, Inc.)
