Interior/Exterior surfaces such as: Porous Concrete, Masonry, Unpolished Stone and Brick. Ideal for horizontal surfaces such as: Garage Floors, Driveways, Basement Floors, Porches and Pool Decks.
Ready to use or add tinting colorants.

DO NOT use on vertical surfaces or areas subject to hydrostatic pressure. NOT for industrial use or areas subject to forklifts.

CAUTION: Painted surfaces may become slippery when wet. Use caution when walking on surface when moisture is present.

Preparation

• All surfaces must be clean, sound, dry and free of any dirt, oil, and grease.

New and Uncoated Concrete or Masonry Surfaces:

• Allow new surfaces to cure 30 days.
• Clean and etch surface using a product such as a muriatic acid etcher (read and follow all manufacturer's label directions) to achieve a textured profile similar to 150 grit sandpaper.
• Wipe your fingers over the clean, dry floor to check for dust or powder.
• Ensure there is no residue on your fingers that may have been left from the etcher. If residue is found, rinse the surface to remove residue.
• Allow the surface to dry completely.
• Sprinkle a few drops of water onto the surface. If water is quickly absorbed and the surface feels like 150 grit sandpaper, the surface is ready. If not, re-etch.

Painted, Stained or Sealed Concrete:

• For a painted surface in sound condition, use a product to clean and prepare the surface.
• If the coating is failing or peeling, use a paint stripper to remove old coating or scrape/sand down to a sound concrete surface.
• Scuff sand glossy surfaces.
• Clean and spot etch any exposed concrete.
• Remove all dust with a damp cloth, allow to dry.

Prime

• Optimize topcoat adhesion by priming with BEHR PREMIUM® No. 880 Concrete & Masonry Bonding Primer for areas subject to automotive tires, heavy foot traffic, or persistent exposure to moisture, or in areas previously treated for efflorescence or laitance.

Application

• DO NOT THIN. Intermix all cans of the same product to ensure color uniformity. Stir before and occasionally during application.
• Use product when air and surface temperatures are between 50-90° F.
• Apply to dry concrete. Do not apply if rain or heavy dew is expected within 24 hours.
• Do not apply in direct sunlight.
• To begin application, tape off any adjacent areas and apply directly from container to the edges, corners, and joints using a nylon/polyester brush.
• Fill hairline cracks up to 1/8" with coating using a brush. Deeper cracks may need multiple fills to level with surface. Allow to dry completely before roller application.
• For roller application: after cutting in the edges, pour a 12" strip, about 3" wide, directly to surface. For smaller areas, pour a strip about 3"-5" long, about 3" wide. NOTE: Avoid over application to prevent cracking, peeling, and reduced spread rate.
• Using a 1/4" adhesive roller cover, apply moderate pressure and roll in multiple directions to evenly distribute in 3’ x 3’ sections.
• Avoid regular painting patterns and knock down hard edges using the roller.
• Work quickly and overlap the previously coated areas to ensure full coverage.
• The first coat will act as the base coat, and it will not completely cover the surface by design.
• Allow first coat to dry then apply second coat in the same method as the first coat.
• While two coats are necessary, additional coats may help hide previous surface imperfections or cover over contrasting colors.
• Spray application: For larger projects, consider using a texture sprayer with a 4mm tip.
• Spray in 4' x 4' sections. Back roll first coat. 2nd and/or final coat back roll is optional.
• Soap & water clean-up.

Touch-Ups

• An annual touch-up may be required in areas subject to automotive tires or heavy traffic.
• Clean touch-up area with power washer or scrub brush.
• For small touch-up areas, use a nylon/polyester brush.
• For larger touch-up areas, use ¼" adhesive roller cover.
• Feather out product in multiple directions, slightly overlapping previous coating.
• Allow to completely dry and repeat steps as needed.
• NOTE: Once dry, touch-up area will likely have higher sheen.

Dry Time

• 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 automotive tires, heavy foot traffic or repositioning furniture.
• Premature heavy traffic will cause paint failure requiring spot recoating.
• 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 coating failure.
