SP-20

Overview

SP-20 is a flexible aromatic urethane coating that has extreme tensile strength with an A shore hardness of 75. It is easy to install, has low odor and has tensile elongation properties of over 1000%. It far outperforms epoxy membranes in crack-bridging and as a waterproofing membrane under Polymer Nation floor systems.

Uses and Benefits

SP-20 is primarily used as a membrane in parking decks and waterproofing applications. It can also be used as a flexible broadcast resin, as a binder in flexible floor applications and bulked up using fumed silica to make a flexible patching paste.

Limitations

SP-20 is designed to be applied between 20-30 mils. It is not intended as a finish coat as it will amber. Ideal application temperatures to be between 60-90 degrees Fahrenheit. Cooler temperatures will increase cure times. Warmer temperatures will decrease working and cure times. Verify that substrate temperature is above 5 degrees of dewpoint during application and cure of material to avoid a potential amine blush.

Preparation

The preparation method for each project is determined by a full understanding of the substrate to be coated, the chemistry of the coating system being used, the coating system thickness, and numerous other factors. The coating installer should fully read and understand ICRI Guideline NO. 310.2R-2013 and OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1153 before starting preparatory work. The aim, of preparing a substrate for coating applications, is to roughen the surface, remove weak layers, contaminants, dirt, debris and present a solid, clean, dry substrate for the primer. If unsure as to the level of preparation needed contact Polymer Nation at Lab@polymerNation.com.
