STORAGE
Materials should be stored indoors between 60°F (16°C) and 90°F (32°C).
SHELF LIFE
One (1) year from date of manufacture.
LIMITATIONS
This product is best suited for application in temperatures between 35ºF and 85ºF, and relative humidity less than 85%. When using ProSpartic as a primer, extra precaution has to
be taken on the substrate preparation and on the moisture content.
Some light colors may require multiple coats for adequate hiding power. Certain colors appear white when scratched. Slight batch- to-batch color variations may occur. When ordering to match a previous color, inquire if the same batch number or quality control number is still available.

PRODUCTS GUIDE
1. ProSpartic F-Resin provides an accelerated cure for fast-track systems needing quick return to service or recoats. Low-temperature applicable down to 35°F. When combined with ProSpartic Hardener at a 1:1 mix ratio, it can
be applied from 6-20 mils in thickness.
2. ProSpartic S-Resin provides a longer working time making it ideal for applications with higher ambient temperatue and humidity. When combined with ProSpartic Hardener at a 1:1 mix ratio, it can be applied from 6-20 mils in thickness.
3. ProSpartic Hardener is used with BOTH the ProSpartic S and ProSpartic F-Resins at a 1:1 mix ratio.
PRELIMINARY FLOOR INSPECTIONS
CHECK THE CONCRETE: Concrete must be structurally sound and free of curing membrane, paint or other sealer. If you suspect that the concrete has been previously sealed, call ProREZ technical support for further instructions.
CHECK FOR MOISTURE: Concrete must be dry before application of ProREZ floor coating materials. Concrete moisture testing must occur. Calcium chloride testing or in-situ relative humidity testing is recommended. Test methods can be purchased at www.astm.org, see ASTM F1869-11 or F2170-11, respectively or follow manufacturer’s instructions. Readings must be below 3lbs/1,000s.f./24hrs (ASTM F1869-11) or 75% internal relative humidity (F2170-11) when installed directly to the
guarantee against future problems. This is especially true if there is no vapor barrier or the vapor barrier is not functioning properly and/or you suspect you may have concrete contamination from oils, chemical spills or excessive salts.
CHECK THE TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY: ProSpartic is senstive to moisture and
temperature during application and curing. Floor temperature and materials should be between 35°F and 85°F. Humidity must be less than 85%. DO NOT coat unless floor temperature is more than five degrees over the dew point.
COVERAGE RATE
A gallon of ProSpartic will cover in the following manner, with a *standard spread rate for a finish topcoat at 6-20 mils or
80-267 s.f. per gallon. *Application of body/ grout and topcoats are variable in thickness depending upon condition of substrate and type of system.
RECOAT REQUIREMENTS
In the event of a recoat application beyond 36 hours, the existing topcoat should be lightly ground using 100-grit diamonds, vacuuming, and tack-wiping before re- application. Please call ProREZ technical support for further instructions.
JOINT GUIDELINES
Depending on preference, joints may or may not be filled. If the joints are filled, nonmoving joints, i.e. contraction or control joints can be treated by using ProPoxy with ProThickener, or by using ProUrea HF, a hard-and-fast urea
crack if there is concrete movement.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Application Equipment:
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) & clothing per SDS (Safety Data Sheet)
- Jiffy® Mixer Blade (ES Model)
- Clean Mixing Container
- Low Speed /High Torque Power Drill
- Shed-Resistant Roller Cover- 3/8" Nap
- Application SqueegeeMix ratio for ProSpartic is 1 part Resin to 1 part Hardener by volume. 8-16 oz. of ProColor Universal Colorant is recommended per gallon of material(See product label.) When field pigmenting, it should be added and mixed in homogenously to the resin prior to adding the hardener. When combining, be sure to add the hardener into the clean mixing container first. Then add the resin (clear or pigmented) scraping out the container. Always pour into the center of the mixing container. Mix the components thoroughly for 1 minute with a Jiffler ES style mix blade. Mix only enough material at one time that can be applied without exceeding the pot life.CLEANING GUIDELINES & MAINTENANCEAllow floor coating to cure at least one week before cleaning by mechanical means (e.g., sweeper, scrubber, disc machine).
CARE
Proper maintenance will increase the service life and help maintain the appearance of your new ProREZ floor coating system. This product is considered to be a low maintenance coating system, however, certain textures and service environments require specific procedures. SEE “CLEANING GUIDELINES” for more information.
CAUTION
Avoid scratching or gouging the surface. All floor coatings will scratch if heavy or sharp objects are dragged across the surface.
Do not drop heavy or pointed items on the floor as this may cause chipping or concrete pop-outs in the case of a weak substrate cap.
Rubber tires can permanently stain the floor coating from plasticizer migration. In warehouse & industrial settings, the use of non-marking tires is highly recommended to prevent discoloration. Rubber burns from quick stops and starts can heat the coating to its softening temperature, causing permanent marking.
