2760 ShoreCoat™ Concrete Coating

ShoreCoat™ Concrete Coating is a premium, high performance decorative coating for architectural concrete and concrete based materials.  It combines the benefits of both cemetitious based coatings and leading edge organic resin technology.  Unlike some other cementitious paints, the ShoreCoat™ system is not just a Portland binder with “latex” added to improve properties.  Formulated from a coatings perspective, ShoreCoat™ takes high quality resins, wetting agents, rheology modifiers, and additives such as mold and mildew inhibitors and combines them with a complex mix of size controlled inorganic compounds to produce a coating with a superior combination of hardness, flexibility, water resistance, and durability.  ShoreCoat™ is a combination of 2760 ShoreCoat Powder and 2765 ShoreCoat Resin.
Preparation

Surfaces must be clean, sound, and dust free prior to application.  While a dry surface is recommended, successful application may be made to slightly damp but not saturated surfaces.  If substrate is covered with dirt or oils clean with appropriate cleaner such as ShoreBest Con-D-Soil.  Otherwise clean surfaces should be dusted or vacuumed to remove loose contaminants.  An on site application of 5 to 10 square feet of area is recommended to check for color, general appearance acceptance, and determination of suitable application procedure. Allow the test area to dry for 24 hours prior to review. 

 
Standard Mix Ratio

The normal mix ratio is 50 pounds of 2760 powder, 1 gallon 2765 resin, and 0.5 gallon water.  Very slight variations in the amounts of 2765 and water can be made to adjust properties but the slight increase in one must be accompanied by a corresponding decrease in the other for a total of liquids not to exceed 1.5 gallons.  Do not retemper.

 
Coverage

Coverage may vary from 25 to about 100 square feet per gallon depending on application method, substrate surface texture, and desired appearance.  Spray or brush application  to produce a thin, surface conforming coating will give a higher coverage rate than  when a trowel is used to apply a thicker coat designed to hide surface irregularities. 

 
Application
The ShoreCoat system is chemically hardening with a useful pot life of about 20 minutes.  Only enough product that can be applied in about 15 minutes should be made at a time.  Mechanical mixing with a “basket” type mixing blade used to avoid excessive entrainment of air.  These are the mixers often used to mix grouts and mortar mixes. The 2760 / 2765 mixture can be applied by airless spray, roller or brush using the crosshatch method or by trowel . If the first coat is applied vertically the second coat must be applied horizontally to provide for an even finished appearance. Depending on application method and desired results two coats may required for any project. If multiple coats are applied, they should be done on a wet-on-wet basis where coats are not allowed to completely dry between applications.  Clean all equipment with soap and water periodically during application to avoid product curing in the equipment during application of several batches.  When product begins to thicken with time, “thinning” with water does not return it to its original properties.

Limitations
Do not apply to a wet surface or when rain is expected with 12 hours. Minimum application temperature is 50 degrees F surface & ambient and rising. Do not apply to surfaces that are above 95 degrees F. Repackage opened, unmixed powder into water tight container to avoid damage by atmospheric humidity.
