6009 Primer: Slow, Fast, and Extra Fast Cure

The 6009 Primer is a 100% solids epoxy coating with:

  • High durability and chemical resistance.
  • Versatility in application with slow, medium, fast, and extra-fast cure options.
  • A user-friendly 1:1 mix ratio.
  • Resistance to amine blush and water spotting, making it ideal for challenging environments.

Unique Characteristics

  • Strong penetration, wetting, and sealing capabilities for improved substrate adhesion.
  • Durable, impact- and abrasion-resistant coating.
  • Excellent hide with a single coat application.
  • Designed to wick into concrete for aggressive bonding.
  • Suitable for one-day installations with various cure speed options.

Advantages

  • High build and excellent color stability.
  • Chemical and abrasion resistance.
  • Stain-resistant to most tires (plasticizer migration).
  • Easy 1:1 mix ratio for precise preparation.
  • No additional accelerators needed for fast installations.
  • Compatible with flake and colored quartz applications.
  • Supports Moisture Vapor Emissions (MVE) up to 8–10 lbs.

Applications

The 6009 Primer is suitable for:

  • Decorative and solid color concrete floor finishes.
  • Garage floor installations.
  • Industrial, commercial, and residential flooring.
  • Kitchen floors, concrete slabs, stairs, and pedestrian walkways.
  • Warehouse floors and containment areas.

Preparation

  1. Concrete Cure: Ensure a minimum 28-day cure before application.
  2. Surface Cleaning: Remove contaminants, oils, wax, and old coatings.
  3. Moisture Testing: Conduct a moisture vapor test to ensure compatibility.
  4. Surface Profiling: Abrade to a rough profile of at least 2 mils.
  5. Crack and Void Repair: Seal and repair imperfections using ASTC-approved materials.

Priming and Moisture Vapor Reduction

  • Compatible with 6000 Series Epoxy Primers, 70001 Pen Prime, and 8000 CMW.
  • For higher moisture vapor transmission (up to 18 psi), use the 6007 Nova Bar Epoxy Primer.

Mixing and Application

  1. Mixing:
    • Use a jiffy mixer with a 450 rpm drill motor.
    • Mix components A and B for 2–3 minutes, avoiding air entrapment.
    • Immediately transfer to a clean container and remix before application.
  2. Coating:
    • Apply using a notched squeegee or similar tool.
    • Back-roll with a short nap roller (3/8” to 1/2”).
    • Maintain a film thickness of 8–10 mils per coat.
  3. Recoat:
    • Recoat within 8–10 hours or lightly sand if exceeding the recoat window.

  • Negative Result (Slight Effect)

Environmental Considerations

  • Cold Conditions: Slower curing below 50°F; use fast-set or accelerators for improved performance.
  • Hot Conditions: Faster curing above 85°F; mix smaller batches to prevent premature setting.
