5500 F Fast Set is suitable for:

Decorative concrete floor finishes.
Industrial, commercial, and residential floor coatings.
Clear topcoats for color chips and quartz.
Kitchen floors, slabs, stairs, and pedestrian walkways.
Exterior applications requiring UV stability.

Preparation

Concrete Curing: Ensure a minimum 28-day cure.
Surface Cleaning: Remove all contaminants, such as oils, wax, and curing agents.
Profile Creation: Abrade the surface to create a rough profile (2-3 mils).
Moisture Testing: Ensure moisture vapor transmission (MVT) does not exceed 3 lbs per 1,000 sq ft per 24 hours.

Priming

Self-Priming: Can be applied directly to concrete.
Optional Primers: Use ASTC’s 6000 Series Epoxy Primer, 70001 Pen Prime, or 8000 CMW for enhanced performance.

Application

Mixing:
- Combine parts A and B at a 1:1 ratio using a jiffy mixer.
- Mix for 1-2 minutes without incorporating air.
Coating:
- Apply using a notched squeegee and back-roll with a 1/4”-3/8” nap roller.
- Maintain thin coats of 5-10 mils for optimal results.
Recoat Timing:
- Recoat within 1-2 hours or after light sanding if exceeded.

Special Considerations

Cold Conditions: Performs faster curing than other versions below 50°F.
Hot Conditions: For ambient temperatures above 85°F, use 5500 HH or HHH for extended working time.
Chemical Resistance: Resists a wide range of chemicals, including acids, ethanol, and motor oil.

Limitations

Avoid application on wet surfaces or in environments with high moisture vapor drive.
Store kits in a cool, dry environment away from sunlight.
For professional applicators only. Refer to the MSDS before use.
