Product System Compatibility

All surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned and void of all contaminants.

GCR 6 Flex Coat and GCR 37 Acrylic Polyurethane

Product System Compatibility

All kits are pre-measured and shortfilled by weight. Kits yield the published coverage rates but may vary depending on application method and porosity of surface. Testing will establish coverage rates:

Packaging:

1 gallon + 1 quart activator (3 units to a shipping case)

4 gallon pail

Weight:

1 gallon (10 lbs) + 1 quart (2.4 lbs)

4 gallons (40 lbs) + 1 gallon (9.6 lbs)= 49.6 lbs

Theoretical Coverage Rates

Spread rate is dependent on application method, substrate and anticipated level of use. Below figures are for estimation purposes only. Testing should be completed for accurate figures. Application loss factor is not covered due to surface profile, porosity, application technique, surface irregularities, spillage, climatic conditions or film build:
