Decktex

DESCRIPTION

DECKTEX is a two component, polymer modified cementitious textured base coat designed for use on interior or exterior cementitious substrates. DECKTEX is formulated to provide excellent bonding to new and existing cementitious substrates.

USES

DECKTEX is spray applied to properly prepared cementitious substrates and then coated with Deckote to create durable, aesthetically pleasing high design decks, patios, walkways and driveways.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Vapor permeable
Easy application
Water clean up
Superior adhesion
Cooler deck surfaces
A hard, durable finish
An anti-slip textured surface

COVERAGE

DECKTEX is packaged in a unit consisting of 3 bags of Dry Mix and 1 pail of Resin Mix. When blended together, it must be applied at a rate not to exceed 500-750 square feet per unit. Coverage will vary depending on the desired texture and the porosity of
the substrate.

SURFACE PREPARATION

Patch, level or resurface as required to provide a smooth substrate. Surface must be clean, cool, dry, free of dirt, grease, scaling paint, release agents, curing agents, special surface hardeners, efflorescence or other foreign matter. Some surfaces may require power washing prior to coating. If detergents, cleaners or caustics are used, the surface must be thoroughly rinsed prior to application. Surface cracks greater than 1/16" must be patched with crack filler compound prior to application. Refer to ASTM
D-4258 and ASTM D-4261 for complete details on preparing cementitious substrates for coatings.

MIXING

Measuring equal amounts of Resin Mix and mixing for equal amounts of time from batch to batch will ensure product consistency from batch to batch. DECKTEX will require approximately 1 ? gallons of Resin Mix per bag. Start the mixing process by splitting the pail of Resin mix into ?'s. Slowly add one bag of DECKTEX DRY MIX and mix with a drill and paddle for approximately 5 minutes to bring the material to a workable consistency. Allow the mix to set for 5 minutes, then remix and add small amounts of water if necessary to achieve the desired workable consistency. Do not retemper the mix after this.

APPLICATION

A) Remove all rust, mildew, mold, algae, fungus, dirt, oil, grease or other foreign materials that could serve as a bond breaker.

B) Inspect the existing substrate to make sure that all cracks are filled; all loose material has been removed and that the substrate is level.

C) To achieve a "splatter" texture, fill a hopper gun; adjust the nozzle to the desired pattern and spray on the DECKTEX. It is not necessary to cover the entire area; approximately 75% coverage is typical.

D) DECKTEX should be "knocked down" immediately after it has been applied. Once the DECKTEX is dry, lightly scrape the surface to remove any loose material.

E) Coat the DECKTEX with Deckote Smooth or Sanded in the color of your choice. Deckote is designed to be either roller or spray applied. One coat is usually sufficient for full coverage, however a second coat can be applied if desired. Refer to the product data sheet for a full description of the Deckote features and benefits.

PROPERTIES

Curing Time: Curing of the DECKTEX is

dependent on the air temperature and relative humidity. Under average curing conditions (70EF, 55% R.H.) DECKTEX should be set within 8 hours. Heavy traffic or high abuse areas may require 48 hours. As with all cementitious products, 28 days is required for complete cure.

CLEAN UP

Clean all tools and equipment with water while still wet. Cured material can be removed mechanically or chemically.

STORAGE

DECKTEX DRY MIX must be protected from moisture. Store off the ground in a cool, dry location out of direct sunlight. DECKTEX RESIN MIX must be protected from freezing and extreme heat. Store at 40EF or above in tightly sealed containers out of direct sunlight.

LIMITATIONS

Apply only when surface and ambient temperatures are 40EF - 100EF and relative humidity is below 85% throughout the application and drying time.

Do not apply when there is a threat of rain or when humidity is 85% or
higher.

Do not apply to any surface that is frozen or that has not completely
thawed, dried and has reached a surface temperature of 40EF.
Do not use on below grade or immersed surfaces. Interior surfaces where hydrostatic pressure is present (ground moisture/water pressure) may cause coating to delaminate.

MAINTENANCE

Occasional pressure washing between 500 and 1000 psi should produce satisfactory results.
