Westcoat EC-95 Pigmented Polyurethane Topcoat | 1 Gallon Kit
About
Westcoat EC-95 is a two component, polyester, high solids, solvenated, gloss polyurethane topcoat. The UV, mar and chemical resistant nature of this product allows it to outperform most other types of sealers or topcoats when compared. The finish is a glossy sheen which beautifully highlights and compliments any concrete project.

Instructions
Preparation
As a final coat over epoxy systems, EC-95G must be applied within 24 hours. If more than 24 hours have passed, lightly abrade the surface and wipe with solvent such as acetone or alcohol prior to the application. In all cases you will need to thin the EC-95G Gloss prior to application.
Mixing
Premix each component separately. For color consistency, box all part A's. In a clean bucket, mix 2 parts A with 1 part B (by volume) of EC-95G. Mix thoroughly with a low speed (400-600 rpm) drill motor for 3-4 minutes. Make sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the container during mixing. After mixing is completed, remove material from container.
Thinning
When applying as a clear sealer directly over Westcoat Texture Crete or over epoxy coatings, it is recommended to thin the EC-95G with 10% to 50% of CA-23 or acetone. When applying directly over concrete, it is recommended to thin the EC-95G with equal parts of CA-23 or acetone. For maximum penetration, thin 2 parts of CA-23 or acetone to 1 part EC-95G, depending on the density of the concrete and build desired. Thinning will aid in penetration and help avoid bubbles and unevenness.
Coverage
Approximately 275-300 square feet per gallon as a coating (2 mils dry).
Approximately 600-800 square feet per gallon as a sealer (thinned with acetone).
Applying Product
EC-95G can be sprayed, rolled or brushed. Apply EC-95G within 24 hours after the epoxy or urethane is applied. When applying over a smooth surface, immediately after mixing, transfer material into a Hudson type or airless sprayer. Spray evenly across entire surface, being sure to achieve full coverage.
When rolling; immediately after mixing, spread a strip of the material onto the surface along the edge where it will be cut in using a brush. Pour the remaining material near the cut in area and spread evenly using a squeegee or flat trowel and back roll with a 3/8 to 1/2 inch non-shedding, solvent resistant roller cover. Apply quickly and do not over roll, as product will begin to "tack-up" as the air begins to cure it.
Re-coating
Re-coat if needed, within 24 hours of application to ensure adhesion. If a delay occurs, it is recommended that the surface be lightly sanded and wiped with denatured alcohol just before reapplication. A test area should be performed prior to all re-coats.
Dry Time
You may re-coat as soon as the surface is dry to the touch (~4 to 6 hours @ 72°F), but no later than 24 hours. Light foot traffic may be permitted in 12 hours, light vehicle traffic in 48 hours and heavy traffic in 7 days. All times are based on average temperature of 70°F and 50% humidity. Cooler temperatures will increase drying time.
Clean Up
Uncured material can be removed with an environmentally safe solvent. Cured material can only be removed mechanically. Equipment should be cleaned immediately after use with an environmentally safe solvent.
