Behr

Floor Coatings

Where to Use

• Interior or Exterior surfaces such as: Porous Concrete, Masonry, Stone and Brick. Ideal for horizontal surfaces such as: Garage Floors, Driveways, Basements and Porches.
• DO NOT use on vertical surfaces or areas subject to hydrostatic pressure. NOT for industrial use. DO NOT use on areas subject to fork-lifts.

CAUTION: Painted surfaces may become slippery when wet. Adding a product such as BEHR PREMIUM™ NON-SKID FLOOR FINISH ADDITIVE NO. 970 will help prevent slip. Follow all label instructions.

Preparation

(The following steps are recommended for best results.)

New and Uncoated Concrete or Masonry Surfaces:

• New concrete must cure for a minimum of 30 days.
• For proper penetration and adhesion of topcoat, use a product such as BEHR PREMIUM CONCRETE & MASONRY CLEANER & ETCHER NO. 991 to clean and etch the surface. Follow all label instructions.
• Apply a product such as BEHR PREMIUM CONCRETE & MASONRY BONDING PRIMER NO. 880 to increase adhesion of topcoat to the surface. Follow all label instructions.

Painted, Stained or Sealed Concrete:

• Option 1- To completely strip the entire surface, use a product such as BEHR PREMIUM Concrete & Masonry Paint Striper NO. 992. Follow all label instructions.
• Option 2- To recoat over an existing coating, remove any loose or peeling paint and scuff sand the surface.
• Use a product such as BEHR PREMIUM CONCRETE & MASONRY DEGREASER & CLEANER NO. 990 to clean previously coated surfaces in sound condition.
• Use a product such as BEHR PREMIUM CONCRETE & MASONRY CLEANER & ETCHER NO. 991 to clean and etch any bare concrete area. Follow all label instructions.
• Spot prime all bare concrete areas with a product such as BEHR PREMIUM CONCRETE & MASONRY BONDING PRIMER NO. 880 to increase adhesion of topcoat to the surface. Follow all label instructions.

Application

• DO NOT THIN. Intermix all cans of same product to ensure color uniformity. Stir before applying. Use product when air and surface temperatures are between 50-90°F (10-32°C).
• Apply a thin, even coat using a 3/8" nap roller cover, pad applicator or a nylon/polyester brush at a spread rate of 400-500 sq. ft. (37-46 m2) per gallon on smooth surfaces and 300-400 sq. ft. (28-37 m2) per gallon on rough surfaces.
• Allow first coat to dry 24 hours before deciding if a second coat is necessary. For uniformity apply a second coat (in a criss-cross direction).
• DO NOT APPLY MORE THAN TWO COATS. An annual touch-up may be required in areas subject to tire traffic.

Dry Time

• Dries to touch in 2 hours. Longer dry time required in cooler temperatures and in higher humidity.
• The floor may be subjected to light foot traffic after 24 hours. Allow 72 hours before subjecting surface to heavy foot traffic or repositioning furniture. Allow 7 days before subjecting to automotive tires. Premature heavy traffic will cause paint failure requiring spot recoating. If necessary, corrugated cardboard may be used underneath automobile tires after 72 hours.
• Wait at least 30 days before rinsing or cleaning. Use a mild detergent as needed.
• Abrasive cleaners and pressure-washers should be used carefully to avoid premature paint failure.

Clean Up

• Use soap and water.
• Properly dispose of all soiled rags and protect unused product from freezing.
• For disposal of empty containers and unused paint, contact your household refuse collection service.
