COMPOSITION:

  • Excel-Coat is an acrylic polymer, single-component, fiberglass reinforced, waterproof membrane system.

BASIC USE:

  • Excel-Coat is specifically designed to provide a waterproof wearing surface for exterior and interior pedestrian traffic areas, such as walking decks, balconies, patios, stairways and pool areas. Concrete is a suitable substrate that provides excellent adhesion. Excel-Coat provides durable protection with ultraviolet light stability and allows easy maintenance of the membrane.

GRADE:
  • The Excel-Coat Pedestrian Traffic Membrane System includes a primer (Excel-Coat 120), base coat (Excel-Coat #1), a texture coat, a topcoat (Excel-Coat #300) and a Patching Compound. All resins are suitable for horizontal use. A non-woven fiberglass mat offers excellent strength and durability, yet allows penetration of the base coat resin to ensure complete adhesion.
  • An alternate texture coat of Excel-Crete K/D and Tinted Additive may be used for increased skid resistance and durability. Excel-Crete Retarder may be added to extend working time of this texture application.
PACKAGING:
  • Excel-Coat #1, Excel-Coat #200, and Excel-Coat #300 are available in 1 and 5-gallon containers (U.S. gallon measures). Primers, fiberglass mat and Excel-Coat Patching Compound are sold separately in various sizes and quantities.
  • Alternate texture using Excel-Crete K/D is packaged in 50 lbs. bags. Excel-Crete Tinted Additive is available in 1 and 5 gallon containers. Excel-Crete Retarder is available in pre-measured packets.
SHELF LIFE:

And, Excel-Crete K/D spray applied texture is available in 13 standard colors, with the option of two-tone color textures with clear seal coats.

APPLICABLE STANDARDS:
  • Meets the requirements of ASTM E-108-82 for a "CLASS A" Fire Retardant Roof over a non-combustible substrate. (See EXCEL-COAT FIRE SYSTEM DATA SHEET for "CLASS A" Fire Retardant Roof over combustible substrate.)
JOB CONDITIONS:
  • Before any waterproofing work is started, the waterproofing applicator shall thoroughly examine all surfaces for any deficiencies. Should any deficiencies exist, the Architect, Owner or General Contractor shall be notified in writing and any corrections necessary shall be made.
  • Cold or inclement weather will effect the cure time of all Excel-Coat products. Do not install over wet substrate, in the rain or if the threat of rain exists within 24 hours.
INSTALLATION: STORAGE AND HANDLING:
  • Store Excel-Coat in a cool, dry area and protect from freezing. It may be necessary to stir Excel-Coat before using. Containers should be separated according to batch numbers to ensure color uniformity. When changing from one batch to another, blend one container from each batch together to ensure a smooth transition. Partial containers can be resealed. Should a top skin develop on the remaining contents of a container, the physical properties and effectiveness of the contents will not be impaired. Clean mixing and application tools with water. Dispose of empty containers properly according to current Local, State and Federal regulations.
