TECHNICAL DATA:

LIMITATIONS:

All resins are suitable for horizontal use. Random chop fiberglass mat offers excellent strength and durability, yet allows penetration of the base coat to ensure complete adhesion.

An alternate texture coat of Excel-Crete K/D and Tinted Additive may be used for increased skid resistance and durability. Excel-Crete Retarder may be added to extend working time of this texture application.

STORAGE AND HANDLING:

Store Excel-Coat in a cool, dry area and protect from freezing. It may be necessary to stir Excel-Coat before using. Containers should be separated according to batch number to ensure color uniformity. When changing from one batch to another, blend one container of each batch to ensure a smooth transition. Partial containers can be resealed. Should a top skin develop on the remaining contents of a container, the physical properties and effectiveness of the contents will not be impaired. Clean mixing and application tools with water. Dispose of empty containers properly according to current Local, State and Federal regulations.
