Two component aliphatic polyurethane protective coating for concrete and steel structures
Uses Dekguard PU provides an easily cleaned chemical and UV resistant protective coating, and suitable for external waterproofing also. Advantages Durable : Low maintenance costs Non yellowing : Will not yellow on exposure to UV rays. Hygienic : Seamless surface, easily cleaned Impermeable: gases Description Dekguard PU is a two component, pigmented, aliphatic polyurethane coating possessing good resistance to long term exposure of UV rays. Technical Support Fosroc offers technical support and service to specifiers and contractors as well as on-site assistance. Properties Pot life at 300C Recoat time at 300C Initial cure at 300C Final cure at 300C Flash point : Min. 3 hours : 2 - 4 hours : 16 hours : 5 days : 35 0 C Excellent resistance to chemicals and Mixing
constructive solutions
The individual components should be thoroughly stirred before mixing them together. The components should then be mechanically mixed together for atleast 3 minutes using a slow speed ( 400 - 500 RPM) drill machine attached with a mixing paddle. Application Apply Dekguard PU with a nylon brush, or a flat pile felt roller, to the prepared substrate at a wet film thickness of 80 microns ( 40 microns DFT) . Allow Dekguard PU first coat to dry for 24 hours at 300C and then apply the second coat. Curing This coating will become tack free in approximately 2 - 4 hours and be fully cured in 5 days. Number of coats Two finish coats are recommended unless used as a top coat for freshly applied epoxies. Cleaning Clean tools and equipment immediately after use with Nitocote Sol. Wash hands and skin with soap, or an industrial hand cleaner. Limitations Minimum ambient surface and material temperature must be between 10 to 400C. For applications outside this range, contact Fosroc for advise. Application of the product should be always on dry substrates. Moisture in the substrate can lead to pin holes and blisters in the coating.
Application instructions
Surface preparation
Storage
Shelf life
All surfaces must be smooth, sound and free from debris, loose or flaking material and areas of standing water. Surfaces must be free from contamination such as oil, grease, dust, loose particles and organic growth. Concrete surfaces must be fully cured, laitence free and free from any traces of shuttering, release oils and curing compounds. All surfaces should then be grit blasted to remove all foreign matter and open up blow-holes, and provide a suitable key for Dekguard PU. All blow holes and imperfections should be filled with a suitable putty.
Dekguard PU has a shelf life of 6 months when stored under normal warehouse conditions in unopened containers. Exposure to moisture greatly reduces the shelf life, particularly that of the hardener.

Estimating
Packaging Dekguard PU is supplied as base and hardner in preweighed quantities packed together in an outer carton. The mixed material will yield 4 litres. Coverage The theoretical coverage is 10 sq.m /ltr/coat at 30 - 40 microns DFT. However practical coverage may vary depending on the porosity of substrate, application thickness etc.
Precautions Health & Safety Rubber gloves and/or barrier creams, protective clothing, goggles and respirator should be worn. Provide sufficient mechanical and/or local exhaust ventilation to maintain easy working conditions.
