Characteristics:

Color/Finish: Clear satin or gloss. Custom colors available upon request. Custom colors may vary from batch to batch - manufacturer makes no guarantee as to exactness. Tinted material is only available in gloss finish.

(*) Clear Satin is recommended for surfaces where graffiti such as markers, ink, etc. are prevalent.

Reduction: Must be reduced with clean water. Slowly add 16-22 oz per 1 Unit Kit to reach desired viscosity.

Mil Thickness: 3-5 mils wet.

Application Method: Roll or Spray - airless or conventional. (*) GCP 1000 cannot be sprayed in Florida - it must be rolled or brushed.

Curing Mechanism: Evaporation/Infra-Red/ Conventional Oven.

Limitations:

  • GCP 1000 is a non-immersible coating.
  • GCP 1000 should not be applied in rain, high humidity or wind. Proper methods to protect over- spraying should be implemented.
  • Heavier applications can result in ambering, microblistering, poor adhesion and inconsistent sheen.
  • GCP 1000 applied to horizontal surfaces will become slippery when wet.
  • Slight discoloring may occur when clear is applied to lighter colors.
  • GCP 1000 is not a water repellent or sealer. Retaining or barrier surfaces for earth or flower beds or other such surfaces where moisture vapor transmission is a concern should first be properly sealed and waterproofed. A moisture and pH test must be conducted prior to application of product.
  • Efflorescence can cause product failure in certain bricks if they are not properly cured or conditioned prior to applying GCP 1000.
  • Clear satin should be tested prior to applying to wood.
  • Product should be compliant with all local, state and federal regulations when applied to previously coated surfaces.

Packaging:

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:

Kit Size Activator Base Case Qty
Sm Repair 1/2 pint tin Pint tin 6
Lg Repair Pint tin Quart tin 5
1 Unit Quart tin Gallon Pail 3
4 Unit Gallon tin 5 gal pail n/a

Storage:

Store up to 12 months, unopened at 45°F to 75°F. The material will withstand storage temperatures up to 90°F, but avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and heat. KEEP FROM FREEZING.

Coverage Rates:

Spread rate is dependent on application method, substrate and anticipated level of use. The below figures are estimates. Testing should be completed for accurate figures. Application loss factor is not covered due to surface profile, porosity, surface irregularities, application technique, spillage, film build or climatic conditions. Coverage rates below are per 1 Unit Kit (4 Unit Kit will yield 4 times the coverage):

Surface SqFt Coats
Concrete 300 1 - 2
Brick 275 2
Wood 300 2
Metal, Steel 450 1 - 2
Tile 475 1
