- Features
- PERMATEC 3000 XCT is a 100% solids system and allows for a fast application where good chemical and wear resistance are required.
- PERMA TEC 3000 XCT can be installed over most sound floors including old or new concrete, steel and most types of repair mortars.
- At varying thickness up to 1/4 inches, the PERMA TEC 3000 XCT system provides long term chemical resistance for splash and spill or immersion in many chemicals.
- PERMATEC 3000 XCT provides excellent physical protection even in the harshest industrial settings. The physical properties of PERMA TEC 3000 XCT are many times those of standard concrete.
- Rapid cure, resulting in minimal downtime.
- 100% non-porous
- Odor free
- Non-skid safety finish.
- Can be applied in temperatures between 32 and 50 °F.

- Functions
The primary use of PERMATEC 3000 XCT is as a high strength floor topping for industrial service where severe mechanical abuse and/or chemical exposure is anticipated and where application temperatures between 32°F and 45°F are encountered. Typical applications include food processing plants, breweries, laboratories, chemical processing plants, waste disposal facilities, pulp and paper mills, refineries, mines, chemical storage areas and other industrial processing areas where chemicals are used.
- Cure Time
The cure time of PERMATEC 3000 XCT and other resinous systems are very dependent upon the temperature of the substrate. The ambient temperature may not be the same as the substrate temperature. For example during winter, concrete may be colder than the surrounding ambient temperature. As temperatures during the day my increase, large masses of concrete will be much slower to react. During summer days direct sunlight will increase the concrete temperature over that of ambient air. The substrate temperature should be monitored and remain at or above 45°F.

Safety & Health
- Safety
PERMATEC 3000 XCT contains blended Epoxies as the resin and blended Amines as the hardener. Protective clothing and gloves are recommended to prevent sensitization to these materials. In case of ingestion or eye contact, it is advisable to contact a physician immediately.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging
PERMATEC 3000 XCT is available in 20, 100, and 1000 square foot units based on ¼ inch applications. Each unit consists of pre-measured components, Part A (Resin) and Part B (Hardener). Graded aggregates are available or may be sourced locally.
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Shelf Life
PERMATEC 3000 XCT should be stored at 35 - 55 °F for 24 hours before use, otherwise store between 45 - 90 °F. All containers should remain unopened until ready for use. If stored as set out above, PERMATEC 3000 XCT has a minimum shelf life of one year.
