Behr

Concrete Floor Coatings

Where to Use

• Properly prepared Interior or Exterior surfaces such as: Concrete, Masonry Walls, Basements, Patios, Sidewalks, Driveways*, Garage Floors*, Tennis Courts, Cement Blocks, Pillars and Brick. Not for use on surfaces subject to hydrostatic pressure.

* Driveways and Garage Floors - Lack of proper surface preparation and/ or over-application can lead to automobile tires lifting the product from the surface.

CAUTION: Stained surfaces may become slippery when wet. Use caution when walking on surface when moisture is present. Use a product such as BEHR PREMIUM™ NON-SKID NO. 970 to help prevent slipping.

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 N0. 991 to clean and etch the surface. Remove mildew stains with a mildew stain removing product. Follow all label instructions.
• Apply a product such as BEHR PREMIUM CONCRETE & MASONRY BONDING PRIMER N0. 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 STRIPPER N0. 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 N0. 990 to clean previously coated surfaces in sound condition.
• Use a product such as BEHR Premium CONCRETE & MASONRY CLEANER & ETCHER N0. 991 to clean and etch any bare concrete surface. Follow all label instructions.
• Spot prime all uncoated 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 stain before and occasionally during application.
• Use product when air and surface temperatures are between 50-90°F (10-32°C).
• Apply a thin, even coat using a 1/4"-3/8" nap roller cover, pad applicator or a nylon/polyester brush at a spread rate of 400-600 sq. ft. (37-56 m2) per gallon. Use long, even strokes in one direction to avoid lap lines.
• Since concrete varies in texture/porosity, two coats may be required for uniform color appearance. Apply a second coat (in a criss-cross direction) if uniformity is needed. Recoat after 2-4 hours. Periodic touch-ups may be necessary.

Dry Time

• Allow 24 hours for light foot traffic. Allow 72 hours before subjecting surface to automotive tires, repositioning planters or furniture. Park tires on corrugated cardboard for 14 days after applying stain. After two weeks, dry stained surface may be cleaned with a mild, non-abrasive liquid detergent.

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.
