Polythane 500

Polythane - 500 is an elastomeric polyurethane coating system and is a 100% solid non-moca polyurethane system.

It's low viscosity and self-leveling properties make it a unique coating which has excellent bond to concrete, wood & steel.

Perfect for pool decks and ramps, as well as gym floors and balconies.

Low temperature curing at 40°F. and up.

Details

Uses of Polythane 500

Concrete, Wood and Steel Decks
Mechanical Equipment Rooms
Pool Decks
Bridge Decks, Parking Decks and Ramps
Balconies
Gymnasium Floors

Surface Preparation

Concrete

Old concrete surfaces should be blast tracked or sanded to remove loose and weak concrete or other contaminants. New concrete should be acid etched with 10% hydrochloric acid and washed thoroughly with water. Surface should be dry.

Steel

Steel should be sand blasted to white metal.

Wood

Wood surface should be sound, clean and dry.

Application

Polythane - 500 can be applied directly to the properly prepared substrate. However, in the presence of moisture, PolyKrete - 200 can be applied as a primer.

For 1/4" thick flooring system:

Apply primer coat with PolyKrete - 200 and broadcast sand while surface is still wet
Apply first coat of Polythane - 500
Apply second coat of Polythane - 500 and broadcast sand onto the still wet surface
Apply a 1/8" thick layer of epoxy mortar of PolyKrete - 200 with sand
Top coat with epoxy (PolyCoat) or polyurethane (Polythane)

Advantages

Needs no primer or 100% solid epoxy primer
Can be applied in multiple coats to achieve certain thicknesses
Epoxy mortars are applied right on Polythane - 500 where it acts as a waterproofing membrane
High wear resistance
High strength
High elasticity
Resistance to thermal and mechanical movement
Chemical resistance to acids, alkalines, solvents, oils, gas, detergents, salts and animal refuse
