This product is for industrial/commercial applications only. These suggestions and data are based on information we believe to be reliable. They are offered in good faith, but without guarantee, as conditions and methods of use are beyond our control.

Do Not Thin

Surface Preparation: Surface to receive coating must be clean, smooth, dry, and paintable. Any debris, gravel, dust, and silt must be removed prior to application.

Weather Restrictions: It is very important that this product is not used when weather conditions are below 50oF., or when there is a chance that temperatures could fall below 32oF within a 24 hour period after application. We also do not recommend application of this product if rain or dew is likely to occur before curing of product.

Mixing Procedures: The two components are packaged in the correct proportions (1 part by volume of Part A to 1 part by volume of Part B). For the five gallon kit combine and mix thoroughly. Power mixing is recommended. Part A is a slurry liquid, with settling properties. Part B is a viscous liquid. When combined the resulting product becomes a thixotropic easy spreading suspension.

Do not use material that has been mixed for 4 hours or more.

Application Rates: Applied to concrete, the coverage rate is 150 to 200 square feet per gallon.

Application Equipment: This product may be sprayed, brushed, or rolled. Use long nap (1” to 1 1⁄4 “) rollers when SRP is used as block filler for porous concrete. If blowholes form as the primer dries make second pass with a relatively dry roller. Allow 8 to10 minutes between passes. For application to smooth surfaces, add up to one pint of water per gallon of SRP. Use a 1⁄2 “ or 3⁄4 “nap roller or nylon brush.

Application of Top Coats: Most coatings can be applied over SRP as soon as it is thoroughly set. This degree of dryness is normally achieved in two to three hours. Where maximum solvent resistance is needed, apply two coats a minimum of two hours apart. Let cure for five days with a daily maximum temperature of 70oF or higher. For 60oF days, allow 10 days. All National Coatings elastomers and most commercial paint will adhere well to cured SRP up to three months old, provided that the surface is clean and free of chalk.

Toxicity: Part B contains a polyamide resin, which is non-sensitizing, however, care should be taken to thoroughly clean with soap and water any skin areas that are contacted by SRP. Undiluted vinegar is very effective in neutralizing coating that contacts the skin. If the coating should get in the eye, flush with water and call a physician.

Safety Precautions: This product is designed for professional installation.

Caution should be exercised to prevent mishap due to improper handling. The use of an appropriate MESA/NIOSH pproved respirator during application is important. We also recommend the use of fabric coveralls and neoprene or other resistant gloves. Installers should use caution during spray processes to avoid falls caused by slipping on wet primer. Installers should read and understand all technical and informational literature on this product, including the Material Safety Data Sheet, prior to using this product.
