Rust Bullet® DuraGrade™ Concrete

Rust Bullet® DuraGrade™ Concrete is a high-performance concrete coating that can be applied directly onto concrete surfaces without any acid etching. Rust Bullet® DuraGrade™ Concrete is a single component urethane resistant to UV rays, acid splash and chemical solvents. It is ideal for any indoor or outdoor concrete surface. Due to its UV resistance and adhesion properties, Rust Bullet® DuraGrade™ Concrete requires no topcoat or base/primer coat. Apply by brush, roller, or spray equipment. VOC compliant in all 50 states.

Typical Uses

Rust Bullet® DuraGrade Concrete provides superior protection for both indoor and outdoor concrete surfaces.

Typical applications include: garage floors, patios, basement, parking structures and more. Can be used with decorative flakes. Most garage projects can be completed with two coats in just one day. Anti-skid can be added for a slip resistant surface

Application Methods

Brush, Roll, or Spray

Cure Times

Varies with relative humidity, temperature and thickness of film.

  • Dry-to-Recoat: 2 to 6 hours
  • Dry-to-Handle: 2 to 6 hours
  • Full Cure: 72 hours
Surface Preparation

The concrete substrate must be structurally sound and thoroughly clean and completely dry. Remove loose paint, moisture, dirt, mildew, oils, wax, loose particles, and other debris before coating. New concrete must be cured for at least 30-90 days depending on climate. Surfaces with tight existing paint or sealants or very smooth or power troweled should be sanded or ground. All repairs should be completed and allowed to fully cure prior to application. Be sure all repair materials are paintable. Adhesion and calcium chloride moisture tests should be performed and outstanding issues fixed prior to application.

Compatibility

With most other coatings; Always refer to the coating manufacturers guidelines for application and compatibility.
