CONCRETE RESURRECTION Solid Color Pigment for Epoxy Coatings
**This product may only be used on fully cured concrete. Allow a minimum of 28-45 days of cure time (or until
a pH reading of 10.5 or less is achieved) after the concrete is poured to allow ample time for the concrete to
completely hydrate. It is recommended that a calcium chloride (or similar) moisture test be completed on any
floor prior to Inside Epoxy application.

A fine to medium shot blasting or the use of a diamond grinding machine to obtain a surface profile of a CSP -
3 to a CSP - 5 is suggested for ultimate adhesion.
A test should be made to determine that the concrete is dry; this can be done by placing a 48” x 48” plastic sheet
on the substrate and taping down the edges. If after 24 hours, the substrate is still dry below the plastic sheet,
then the substrate should be ready to coat. More advanced moisture testing kits should be used on floors with
suspected moisture problems.
Apply coating to a clean surface that is completely dry and free of oil, dirt, grime, wax, detergent or any
incompatible paint or coating.
Concrete must be completely dry prior to sealer application. It is strongly recommended that a surface probe
moisture meter be utilized to verify the surface is dry. After visually determining the concrete is dry, test a
minimum of 10 different areas of the concrete with the moisture meter. Pay special attention to cracks, control
joints, and slab edges.
Mixing Instructions
When mixing epoxy pigments, add the appropriate amount of pigment into the resin (part “A”) and mix
completely using a paint mixer on a low speed drill. When desired color is achieved, follow the directions
above for adding and mixing in the hardener (part ”B”). It is critical to have an exactly portioned mixture,
which has been prepackaged for you to eliminate any guesswork or measuring. After combining the two
components, use a paint mixer on a low speed drill for 2 minutes to completely mix the components. Be careful
to not whip air into the mixture, and be certain to scrape the sides and bottom of the can to combine all
molecules. Incomplete mixing or an off balance mixture will result in a coating that will remain soft.
Application Recommendations
The epoxy can be applied at a rate of 3 to 8 mils thick, using a roller, squeegee or trowel within the usable pot
life time frame, as well as the recommended temperature and relative humidity guidelines listed in the
Technical Information section. If concrete conditions or aggressive mixing causes air entrapment, then an air
release roller tool should be used prior to the coating tacking off to remove the air entrapped in the coating. If
the material becomes thick while applying and sticking to the application tools , stop applying and discard the
mixed material. At this point it has reached the end of the usable pot life. While applying keep a wet edge to
prevent streaking. It is recommended to work in sections usually using control joints as dividers to ensure
proper application results. Do not allow to Puddle!
For a thicker build and bolder color pour contents out in a long trail for application. Spread with Notched
squeegee or gauge (wider squeegee is recommended), Spread product evenly over area. Flatten the poured out
trail into place, as it self-levels. Back roll with a 3/8” roller or mohair roller or smooth using a Magic Trowel,
speed squeegee or loop roller. (rollers should be premium quality with phenolic core and 18” wide is
recommended for larger areas)
Thinning -- Do not thin.
Finish Coat and Additional coats
Previously coated surfaces must be mechanically cleaned and abraded using a floor machine (buffer) with 80
mesh sanding screen prior to application to ensure adequate inner coat adhesion. Follow abrading with
vacuuming and wipe down with a micro-fiber cloth with denatured alcohol or acetone. For superior protection,
you may choose to apply a top coat of Concrete Resurrection Polyaspartic or High Gloss Urethane.
Please Note: Applying CR-531 Inside Acrylic outside of the suggested parameters may result in job failure. It
is always recommended to test the product in a small, inconspicuous area (on the same concrete substrate) for
desired results prior to application. Coverage rates may vary for all coatings and substrates depending on
porosity, density, texture etc.

Limitations
Air and substrate temperatures must be minimum 50F
Do not apply when air or surface temperature exceeds 90 degrees (F) or LAP marking / poor penetration /
bubbling may result. Do not apply to wet or damp concrete, moisture will inhibit penetration of the sealer and
cause improper curing, flaking or lifting of the sealer. Do not apply if dew may condense on the surface before
the sealer has cured. Allow for extended curing times during cold weather / high humidity.
Moisture Vapor Emissions/Alkalinity Precautions
All interior concrete floors not poured over an effective moisture vapor barrier/inhibitor are subject to possible
moisture vapor transmission and related high levels of alkalinity that may lead to blistering and failure of the
coating system. It is the coating applicator’s responsibility to conduct calcium chloride and relative humidity
probe testing to determine if excessive levels of vapor emissions or alkalinity are present before applying any
coatings.

Slip and Fall Precautions
OSHA and the American Disabilities Act (ADA) have now set enforceable standards for slip-resistance on
pedestrian surfaces. The current coefficient of friction required by ADA is .6 on level surfaces and .8 on ramps.
Engrave-A-Crete, inc. recommends the use of angular slip-resistant aggregate in all coatings or flooring systems
that may be exposed to wet, oily or greasy conditions. It is the contractor and end users’ responsibility to
provide a flooring system that meets current safety standards. Engrave-A-Crete, Inc. or its sales agents will not
be responsible for injury incurred in a slip and fall accident.
