Technical Datasheet
Coated Quartz Sand Urethane-coated, Quartz Sand CSI Div. 07 07 18 00 Traffic Coatings 07 18 13 Pedestrian Traffic Coatings 07 18 16 Vehicular Traffic Coatings Product Description: Coated Quartz Sand is a unique, coated aggregate that is specially designed for use with Aquafin polyaspartic and Aquafin urethane coating systems. It forms an aggressive chemical bond with the coating, resulting in a high-performing, long-wearing, surface. Typical Applications: • Interior Surfaces, Interior & Exterior Pedestrian Traffic Surfaces, and Vehicular Traffic Decks as part of an Aquafin coating system. • See the appropriate Aquafin coating Technical Data Sheet for details and recommendations about specific areas of use. Advantages: • Enhances the durability of the coating system Site Mock-up: Aquafin recommends installation of a field sample of min. 100 ft² (9.29 m²) at the project site or other pre-selected area as agreed to by owner’s representative and applicator. • Apply all materials to field sample area in the correct sequence. Follow all manufacturer’s written instructions. • Maintain field sample during construction for workmanship comparison. Use field sample as standard for judging color and texture on remainder of project. Do not alter, move, or destroy field sample until work is completed and approved by owner’s representative. Installation: Read all instructions thoroughly prior to installation. • Apply the Aquafin coating according to the Technical Data Sheet, taking special care to ensure an even application of the coating. Refer to the coating Technical Data Sheet for information on surface preparation, coating application, broadcast rate, curing, clean-up, etc. • Immediately (within 2 min.) of coating application, broadcast Coated Quartz Sand by hand into the wet coating. For optimum results, follow directly behind the coating application in a steady, uninterrupted sequence allowing Coated Quartz Sand to fall vertically into the coating. To help ensure a uniform appearance, use a consistent technique and motion when broadcasting Coated Quartz Sand. • Allow to cure. Refer to coating Technical Data Sheet for cure times. Cure time will vary depending on temperature and humidity. • Remove all excess Coated Quartz Sand by sweeping and using dry compressed air.
