About the product
Product Overview
U-51 is a non-yellowing, single component, aliphatic moisture cure urethane coating with excellent wear, stain resistance and adhesion properties. When used as a topcoat over conventional coatings, U-51 provides UV-light protection and dramatically improved abrasion resistance.
Uses
U-51 is primarily used as a clear topcoat due to its unsurpassed UV, stain, mar and abrasion resistance. It can be applied to floors and walls and adheres well to many substrates including concrete, gypsum, cement board, metals, vinyl, PVC and fiberglass. It can also be applied direct to concrete as a sealer and topcoat.
Preparation
The coating installer should fully read and understand ICRI310.2R-2013 and OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1153 before starting preparatory work. The aim, of preparing a substrate for coating applications, is to roughen the surface, remove weak layers, contaminants, dirt, debris and present a solid, clean, dry substrate for the primer. If unsure as to the level of preparation needed contact Polymer Nation at techservice@polymernation.com

It is always preferred to mix the entire kit, whenever possible, to avoid off-ratio mixtures
Ideal Application Temperatures
50F-80F 40-60% RH
Verify that substrate temperature is above 5 degrees of dewpoint during application and cure of material to avoid a potential amine blush

Mixing & Installation
Combine all of part A and B into a single container, large enough to accept the entire kit. Mix at 350 RPM for 2-3 minutes using an appropriate mixing blade and making sure not to introduce excessive air into the solution. Pour material needed from the container onto the floor and spread with a 5-7 mil squeegee. Back roll perpendicular to evenly spread the material. Strike off the material in the same direction as material was squeegeed. Material can also be bucket-rolled using a 1/4″ nap roller cover. For a non-skid finish add 288 grams per 3 gallon kit of PN 1337 S (1-12 oz cup struck off at the top) or 4 lbs. of PN 1335 AO and stir to completely incorporate. Recoat within 10 hours. Clean tools with a solvent similar to Xylene or Acetone. PN C-55 can be used to accelerate the cure.
