Effective PaintOnce applications require an understanding that all structures are dynamic and once a PaintOnce system is installed it will seal out moisture through the full operational envelope of the building, while allowing it to breathe A building has three functions: To be esthetically pleasing, to make use of the original space in a useful manner and to provide a controlled environment within the structure. If a building is not waterproofed, it is a building that is not controlled and will no longer be energy efficient and can lead to serious structural damage due to moisture penetration.

1. Versus Typical Paint: PaintOnce® Ceramic Thermal Coating is a resin-rich material that outperforms typical paint in durability, adhesion, flexibility, film build, and overall long term performance.

2. Flammability: ASTM D-2863 Non-Flammable and does not support combustion on cement surfaces.

• Finished Film: Smooth with good flow and leveling to prevent brush marks.
• Viscosity: Heavy bodied for good film build per coat yet easy to apply by roller or sprayer. 20-25Kcps (20,000+ centipoise) Brookfield viscometer.
• Tint Base Availability: Pastel/Medium and Deep for a wide range of color tinting options while using a minimum of colorants which could adversely affect dry times.
• Product Stability: Product remains stable and usable for one year or longer depending on ambient storage environment.
• Toxicity: Non-Toxic nor is it a health hazard when used as directed. Contains NO Lead or Chromium.
• Hardness: Product cures to a tough, yet flexible wear resistant surface while preventing chipping.
• Abrasion Resistance: Extremely resistant to typical environmentally induced abrasion.
• Touch-up: Easy to touch up and repair in the event of extraordinary damage.

• Elongation: ASTM D-2370 Exceeds 200% elongation with 100% memory.
• Flexibility: ASTM D-1737 Exceeds 1/8" mandrel bend with NO cracking, chipping or flaking.
• Dirt Pickup: PaintOnce® Coatings have a soft sheen that prevents dirt and stains better than flat finish paints or coatings. The surface is tighter and special additives repel stains and dirt for a beautiful look. longer.

• Coverage Benefit: High build at 100 sf/gal/coat on smooth surfaces in a two coat process. Porous surfaces require more coating.
• Dry Film Yield: One coat at 18 wet mils yields 10 dry mils of durable protection. 2 coats recommended.
• Substrate Preparation: Clean, dry, solid, primed surfaces yield GREAT results and incredible adhesion.
• Application Temp Range: Best applied at 39F to 98F for greater daily coating application and production.
• Application Methods: Brush, roller or airless sprayer for larger areas.
• Cure Time (tack-free): Dependent on Relative Humidity and temperature for air drying, between 10 minutes and 30 minutes.
• Cure Time (primary): Dependent on Relative Humidity and temperature for air drying, between 24 to 36 hours.
• Cure Time (Complete): Dependent on Relative Humidity and temperature for air drying, between 7 to 10 days.
• Solvent System Used: Safe, pure water. No other solvents or additives required to accomplish extraordinary results.
• Adhesive Strength: ASTM C-794 Exceptional Adhesion to properly prepared and primed substrates.
• Cohesive Strength: Exceptional Cohesive strength for strong inter-coat adhesion to itself.
• Color Reproduction: Can be tinted to over 5000 colors with clear reproduction and consistent tint strength.
• Sunlight Stability: Contains no Vinyl additives or resins that can yellow with age and exposure to UV light.
• Texture: PaintOnce Ceramic Coating yields a beautiful, smooth satin finish that hides imperfections in the underlying substrate and leaves a pleasing soft finish.
