Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Areas of Usage
Used as a clear top coat or may be pigmented for use as a color coat in warehouses, manufacturing facilities (food preparation, food processing, and chemical processing plants), parking lots, chemical storage areas, laboratories, airplane hangars, garages, patios, walkways and handicap ramps. May be used as a clear top coat or color coat anywhere extreme chemical resistance and/or UV protection is required.
- Surface Preparation
Allow new concrete to cure for at least 30 days prior to preparation and coating. Test for moisture and remove dust, laitance, grease, curing compounds, preparation bond-inhibiting impregnations, waxes and other contaminants. Prepare concrete via mechanical abrasion (diamond grinding, bead-blasting) and follow with application of appropriate primer and / or color coat. Procedures are outlined in SOP GFC-106, titled Concrete Preparation and as part of SOPs GFC-107 through GFC-118.
- Mixing Ratio
One (1) part Part A to one (1) part Part B (i.e., 1: 1 ratio); the mixture should not be reduced with solvent
- Application
Polyester brush and 9”, 14” or 18” rollers with microfiber nap
- Mixing
Clear LOPH II is a two component system: Part A and Part B (the activator). When ready to use, mix Part A and Part B in a ratio of 1:1 as follows: add one (1) Part A and one (1) Part B in a bucket and mix immediately. Always mix at a slow mixing speed to avoid introducing air into the mixture. Do not reduce with solvent. Finally, if polypropylene anti-skid is to be incorporated in the mixture, add the required quantity and re-mix (do not exceed 4 ounces polypropylene anti-skid per 1 - 1 ½ gallons of the low odor clear Poly Hybrid).
- Application Procedure
Low-Odor clear Poly Hybrid may be used in a variety of coating systems and is typically used as a top coat. Step-by-step application procedures are provided in standard operating procedures (SOPs) GFC-107 through GFC- 118. All SOPs are on file with Eco-CorFlex.

Average Dry Time at 77˚F (25˚C): Dry times vary depending upon weather conditions1. Cure to Tack-Free: 1 hour; Waiting Time Between Coats: immediately (if same product) to 8 hours (sand if >8 hours); Cure to Light Foot Traffic: 4 hours; Cure to Vehicle Traffic: 72 hours; Full Cure: 7 days
Resistance To: Moisture, stains, chemicals and abrasion (e.g., water, mold, mildew, salt, grease, oil spills (and other petroleums), urine, blood, black ink, brake fluid, gasoline, hydraulic fluid, xylene, MEK, bases (sodium hydroxide), and acids (hydrochloric, sulphuric, acetic and nitric acids)
Reducing: Do not reduce.
Finish: High gloss; 95 at 60 degrees
Pigment Type: May use pigment packs if using as a color coat
Vehicle Type: Polyaspartic
Thickness: Recommended for application up to 10.0 mils dry film thickness per coat. Heavy applications exceeding this thickness may result in slow dry.
Adhesion to Concrete: Concrete fails before loss of bond (ASTM D-451)

Packaging & Availability
- Packaging
5-gallon Part A and 5-gallon Part B containers.
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
Pot Life: Pot Life = 20 minutes for 1 - 2 gallons at 77˚F (25˚C) and 50% relative humidity (RH). If ambient temperature is greater than 77˚F and / or RH greater that 50%, pot life is dramatically shortened.
Shelf Life: 6 months at 77˚F (25˚C) when Parts A and B are not combined.
Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area. Keep containers tightly closed.
