- Store DURALTEX indoors, protected from moisture, at temperatures between 50 °F and 90 °F (10 °C and 32 °C)
- Surface and ambient temperature during coating applications should be between 50 °F and 90 °F (10 °C and 32 °C)
- Material temperatures should be at least 50 °F (10 °C) and rising
- Do not apply DURALTEX if surface temperature is within 5 °F (3 °C) of the dew point in the work area
- Working time and cure time will decrease as the temperature increases, and will increase as the temperature decreases
- Do not thin DURALTEX
- When a vapor barrier is utilized in on-grade applications of DURALTEX, it must be installed directly under the slab
- Although DURALTEX is chemically resistant, surface staining of the coating may occur after contact with some chemicals. Consider the use of a urethane topcoat such as EUCOTHANE for improved stain resistance.
| - DURALTEX will discolor upon prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light and high-intensity artificial lighting. An aliphatic urethane topcoat such as EUCOTHANE can minimize these effects.
- Depending on the condition of the substrate, minor surface defects can appear in the coating when applied. Proper surface prep, patching of substrate imperfections, and priming will ensure a better overall finish.
- If coating over old/existing epoxy or urethane coatings, or if more than 24 hours elapses between coats: sand the previous coat, wipe clean, and proceed with coating operations. If old/existing coatings are peeling, flaking, etc., all unsound material must be removed prior to new coating applications.
- Application of a test area is recommended to confirm final appearance and texture of the system with the end user
- In all cases, consult the product Safety Data Sheet before use
