RECOMMENDED SUBSTRATE CONDITIONS AND TEMPERATURES

Concrete
• Coating performance is proportional to the degree of surface preparation
• MegaSeal SL must be applied over MegaSeal HSPC or MegaSeal WBPC primer. Refer to the product data sheet for the
specific primer being used for surface preparation specifications.
• NEW / BARE CONCRETE - Refer to SSPC-SP13 / NACE No. 6 for detailed information regarding surface preparation of
concrete. In general, concrete must have sufficient profile to achieve satisfactory adhesion of primer and topcoat.
Concrete must be in sound condition and free of all coatings, curing compounds, oil, and other contaminants. New
concrete must cure a minimum of 28 days prior to application of any coatings.
• Concrete can be abrasive blasted (ASTM D4259) or mechanically abraded to achieve a profile of 60-grit sandpaper or
coarser. Moisture vapor transmission should be 3 lbs. or less over a 1000 sq. ft. area during a 24 hour period, measured
and confirmed through a calcium chloride test per ASTM F1869. Concrete should have a minimum tensile strength of 300
psi verified by pull-off adhesion test per ASTM D4541. Slabs on grade that do not have an appropriate moisture barrier
installed may be subject to seasonal moisture migration than can result in coating disbondment. Should concrete not
meet moisture vapor transmission or tensile strength requirements, contact you local sales representative for guidance.
Consult the following ASTM methods: ASTM D4263 - plastic sheet method for checking moisture in concrete; ASTM
D4258 - standard practice for cleaning concrete; ASTM D4260 - standard practice for etching concrete.
• PREVIOUSLY COATED CONCRETE - Old coatings and concrete must be in sound condition. Surfaces must be clean and
dry and free of all contaminants such as dust, dirt, grease, and oil. Old coatings must be uniformly abraded to achieve
satisfactory adhesion. Apply a test patch to the abraded surface and allow to cure a minimum of one week before testing
adhesion. If adhesion is poor, or if the old coatings are peeling, chipping, or are otherwise in poor condition, remove the
coatings down to bare concrete and prepare the bare concrete as shown above.

Atmospheric exposure conditions

• Ambient temperatures should be between 55°F (13°C) and 95°F (35°C)
• Material temperature should be between 55°F (13°C) and 95°F (35°C)
• Maximum 85% relative humidity during application and curing

Substrate temperature
• Substrate temperature during application should be between 55°F (13°C) and 95°F (35°C)
• Substrate temperature during application should be at least 5°F (3°C) above the dew point

SYSTEM SPECIFICATION
• DECORATIVE - MegaSeal HSPC or WBPC / MegaSeal SL (10 mils DFT) / MegaSeal SL Clear (10 mils DFT)
• MILD - MegaSeal HSPC or WBPC / MegaSeal SL (20 mils DFT) / MegaSeal SL Clear (optional)
• MODERATE - MegaSeal HSPC / MegaSeal SL (30 mils DFT) / MegaSeal SL Clear (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

• APPLICATION EQUIPMENT - The following is a guide. Adjustments in application equipment or technique may be
necessary to accommodate varying field conditions.
• SQUEEGEE: Flat or notched rubber squeegee (depending on DFT required) with EPDM rubber blade, available from
manufacturers such as Midwest Rake Co.
• ROLLERS: 3/8 inch lint-free roller with phenolic core for back-rolling, and 7/16 inch sharp-tipped spiked roller for air
release and leveling, available from manufacturers such as Midwest Rake Co.
• MIXING: MegaSeal SL is a two-component coating. Stir base thoroughly to disperse pigment before mixing with
hardener. Add hardener to base and mix slowly until uniformly blended. Do not mix at high speed, as air entrainment will
occur. MegaSeal SL is ready for use immediately after mixing base and hardener; no induction time is required. Do not
mix more material than can be applied within the potlife (see potlife data). Material which has begun to set cannot be
satisfactorily used and must be discarded. Surface temperature must be at least 5°F (3°C) above the dew point to avoid
condensation.
• APPLICATION PROCEDURE:
• MegaSeal SL is packaged in proper proportions which must be mixed together before use. Mix full units only.
• Pour a substantial portion of mixed material onto the floor in a long ribbon approximately 12 to 18 inches wide. Do not
scrape or drain containers.
• Using either a flat or notched rubber squeegee, spread the mixed material to a uniform thickness. Apply sufficient
pressure to work the material into the porous surface.
• Wet film thickness can be adjusted by varying the angle of the squeegee to the floor and by varying the amount of
pressure applied.
• As material is being spread with the squeegee, an applicator wearing spiked shoes should immediately back-roll and
cross-roll the material with a clean, lint-free 3/8" roller. Finish by uniformly tipping off the surface with the roller in one
direction.
• After 15 minutes set up time, the material should be rolled with a spike roller to aid air release and to improve appearance.
Do not spike roll after 30 minutes.
• Mix thoroughly before application

Mixing ratio by volume: base to hardener 66.7:33.3 (2:1)

Pot life
