Elastomeric Urethane-Epoxy Deck Coatings

Edison FLEXI-DECK 500-U is a 100% solids urethane-modified epoxy elastomeric membrane/coating designed for high performance waterproofing, chemical resistance and traffic compatibility under a wide range of application and service conditions.

FLEXI-DECK 500-U features odorless application, "zero" VOC content, low viscosity and self-priming to concrete, steel, aluminum, ceramic tile*, plywood, natural stone, glass*,vinyl tile and many other substrates. (*Note: Some glassy surfaces require use of adhesion-promoting additives.) Clear or a wide range of colors is available.

Common uses for FLEXI-DECK 500-U include:

PARKING DECK WATERPROOFING MEMBRANES
TRAFFIC-BEARING ROOFING MEMBRANES
MECHANICAL ROOM FLOORING NON-SLIP SURFACING
TANK LINING/SECONDARY CONTAINMENT

THINNING, MIXING & APPLICATION

Surface Preparation: Surfaces to be coated are best if clean and dry, and free of grease, oil, dirt and other contaminants. If product will he applied over smooth or previously coated surfaces, a test application should be performed to assure adhesion and compatibility. For specific alternate procedures for contaminated or coated surfaces, consult your Edison Coatings Representative. Detailing of cracks, joints, drains, perimeters and penetrations should be performed as stated in the FLEXI-DECK 500 installation manual.

Thinning & Mixing:FLEXI-DECK 500-U is supplied as a low viscosity, two-component, 100% solids coating. For most applications, no thinning is required. In some cases thinning may be economically advantageous, to increase product spread rate. In other cases, slight solvent addition may improve the "bite" on a bard existing coating or may improve penetration of slightly oily surfaces. Thinning should be limited to the minimum required, typically about 5 - 10% solvent addition should be sufficient. Use only compatible solvents, such as Edison FLEXI-THIN 597.

Mix ratio is nominally 1:2 resin to hardener by volume. Measure and mix consistently. Product is also available in pre-measured units, eliminating the need for field measuring measuring of components. Mix thoroughly for at least two minutes, scraping the container bottom and sides to assure complete mixing. There is no induction or waiting time required after mixing before application.

The exothermic nature of epoxy setting reactions may cause rapid temperature rise when the mixture is left massed in a bucket, resulting in high temperatures and loss of utility of the product. To maximize handling and working time, pour the mixture into shallow pans or dump and squeegee tile mixture out onto the surface to be coated within a few minutes of mixing.

SAFETY

Read and observe the safety and handling guidelines as detailed in the Material Safety Data Sheets supplied with this product. Avoid skin and eye contact. Epoxy resins are potential sensitizers, although Edison Coatings, Inc. avoids the use of the most highly sensitizing BGE and CGE diluents in this product. Hardener is a Corrosive Liquid. Avoid skin and eye contact. Remove from skin immediately, in case of contact. Remove contaminated shoes and clothing immediately.
