FGI 405 Concrete and Masonry Protection
Unique Coatings Extreme
Results
Description
FGI - 405 is an extremely unique ultimate
performance concrete protection coating developed over 25 years ago and has
yet to be equaled in performance. A high solids content epoxy coating
especially developed for masonry surfaces. FGI-405 is twice as resistant to
abrasion as concrete. When concrete floors are poured, most of the excess
water exits the slab through the top. This always produces a weak surface
due to the high water to cement ratio present on the top of the slab.
Furthermore, any bubbles in the concrete work to the top, but are often
unable to break free, and thus remain just under the concrete surface. The
FGI -405 is not a fast- drying coating, for the above very good reason. The
FGI - 405 effectively stops water from coming through the slab. It adheres
to the concrete stronger than the concrete, it is virtually impossible to
pass water through the coating in either direction. FGI - 405 is designed
for adhering to concrete, terrazzo, cinder block, brick, stone, glass,
transite, wood, metal or asphalt. In addition to being extremely abrasion
resistant it finishes to a beautiful decorative surface for walls, floors,
patios, stairs, ceilings and equipment of industrial, commercial,
institutional, and residential buildings. Also the interior or exterior of
tunnels, concrete tanks, silos, elevators, airplane hangers, garage floors
etc. Outdoor durability and color stability is excellent. FGI-405 is
extremely Weather, UV, Chemical, Salt, and Abrasion resistant providing for
an unsurpassed durable wear surface with superior adhesion properties that
promotes a nearly indestructible coating surface. FGI - 405 saves time and
labor and reduces the TOTAL cost of your project
Application Methods
FGI - 405 may be applied by brush, roller
or spray. Hard finish concrete surfaces should be etched to provide
tooth for adhesion. Surfaces must be free of grease, oil and other
contaminants before acid etching. Metal must be free of mill scale,
rust, etc. and thoroughly clean off all debris, dirt, and other
contaminates. Optimum results are obtained if the surface is dry
although entirely satisfactory protection is obtained if the surface is
damp and/or wet. Surplus water should be removed to prevent excessive
bubbling of the coating. MIXING: Thoroughly mix (3 to 1 ratio) the base
(part "B") with the activator (part "A") for 10 minutes with a power
mixer until all streaks and/or lumps disappear and the mixture has
uniform color and consistency. Be sure to allow mixing blade to rub on
sides and bottom of container to recombine any settling. Allow to stand
(or ingest) for at least 30 minutes before application. Use of thinner
increases possibility of sag, reduces dry film thickness and retards
cure time. For best results, use just as it comes from the can.If
surface to be coated has chlorine ions, these must be neutralized with
Chlor-Rid mixed into the pressure wash water. This is a rare occurrence
but usually occurs around salt water. Chlorine ion test will verify.Any
overspray and equipment must be cleaned immediately with acetone,
toluene, xylene, or MEK.FGI-405 is 75% solids. Pot Life: 8 hours at 80
F. Drying time 6 hours at 80 F. Curing time: 36 hours at 80 F, Complete
cure: 7 days at 80 F. Apply 5.3 mils (.0053 inches or 0.135 mm) wet to
achieve a final dry mil thickness of 4 mils (0.004 inches or 0.101 mm).
FGI-405 will cover approximately 300 square feet (27.8 square meters)
per gallon at 4 mils (0.101 mm) thickness. Do not apply thicker than 4
dry mils, 300 sq ft per gallon per coat. For thicker than 4 mils apply
necessary number of coats. Use in well ventilated area; if not possible,
use a NIOSH approved self contained breathing apparatus or vapor filters
on a mask. Protective gloves and safety glasses must be worn at all
times. Only very high abrasion will remove the coating. Caution: With
the extreme adhesion characteristics of this product all safety
procedures must be followed. Customers should consult FGI on all special
requirement installations.
