Features & Benefits
- Ready-to-Use Product Features
- Advantages
- Low viscosity resin that is easily applied with a 1/4″ short nap roller.
- No troweling is necessary.
- Topping cures in the presence of moisture – adheres to damp concrete.
- Topping cures rapidly and may be used within hours, depending on temperature and humidity conditions.
- Topping has a high impact, tensile and bond strength for concrete and steel.
- Towmotor traffic does not damage topping.

For 1/4″ (250 mil) Coating:
- Pour the AC 969 slurry aggregate mixture onto the surface to be coated and spread to the desired thickness with a clean, short nap roller or trowel
- Allow the AC 969 to set 15-20 minutes and then broadcast sand onto the surface until there are no wet spots.
- Allow the resin to harden and sweep off any excess sand. The floor is now ready to use.To trowel finish the floor, wet trowel with water or solvent and trowel smooth. If a more non-skid surface is required, broadcast more sand onto the surface.
- Water may be used to remove the AC 969 from trowels and other equipment, if clean-up is started before the mixture begins to set. After the AC 969 has begun to set, a solvent such as methyl ethyl ketone, xylol or methylene chloride may be used for clean-up.
- Smooth surface – flood coat with AC 969 A & B resin and cure only.
For 1/8″ (125 mil) Coating:
- Pour the AC 969 Resin (Part A) into a clean, dry mixing container.
- Add AC 969 Cure (Part B) to Resin (Part A) in the proportions of 5 parts A to 1 part B by volume.
- Stir with a wooden stirring stick (4’x 1 ” x 2″) for at least 3 minutes or stir with a low speed (200-300rpm) power mixer for at least 2 minutes.
- Roll coating onto surface using a long nap roller.
- Broadcast sand (approximately 1 pound/sq.ft.) or inert granules into the resin until there are no wet spots.
- Allow the coating to cure, then sweep or blow off excess sand.
- A top coat is recommended, but optional.
- Water maybe used to remove the AC 969 from trowels and other equipment, if clean-up is started before the mixture begins to set. After the AC 969 has begun to set, a solvent such as methyl ethyl ketone, xylol or methylene chloride may be used for clean-up.
- Limitations
Do not use AC 969 resin without sand aggregate when grouting areas deeper than 1/4″.
- Coverage and Estimating
Recommended coverage for the catalyzed AC 969 on smooth surfaces, at a coating thickness of 1/8 in. to 3/16 in. is: 36 sq. ft. per gallon for two coats 30 sq. ft. per gallon for three coats 125-150 sq. ft. per gallon for the Top coat (optional). One (1) lb. of aggregate per sq. ft. is recommended. Recommended coverage is reduced for irregular or badly spalled surfaces.

It is recommended that kiln dried or bagged sand (sandblast sand) be used. Finer mesh sand may dry the mixture more than larger mesh sand. Larger grit aggregate provides a more non-skid texture. As the ambient temperature increases, the resin will absorb more broadcast sand (part D). When ordering a complete unit (with aggregate) the packaging includes the maximum amount of part D that would be needed at 100 °
