<h2>Are You Really Getting The Concrete Floor You&#8217;re Paying For?</h2>
<p>Not all concrete floors are ideal for polishing, in fact a very high percentage of existing concrete surfaces will not produce the strength and high sheen exposed aggregate finish that the home or business owner envisioned or expected. The reality is most home owners see a floor with a high gloss sealer on a ground concrete substrate and assume that this is polished concrete, however this is not the case and to those in the industry or to those that are better informed these applications are known as a grind and seal.</p>
<p>Polished concrete is not sealed, when these floors are brought up to the higher grit levels and have been densified (polished concrete without the densification step will be much more susceptible to staining, dusting and abrasion) they will provide a high gloss finish that is relatively stain resistant for a surface without any form of sealer (polished concrete floors are not stain proof as so many people are led to believe).</p>
<p>Grind and seal are exactly as the name implies; the substrate is ground back (usually to the 200 to 400 grit level) and then coated with a topical concrete coating. These coatings or sealers are more commonly epoxy or polyurethane.</p>
<p>Some of the benefits of a grind and seal over polished concrete are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Much less labour intensive</li>
<li>Higher abrasion resistance (this is dependent on the sealer in use) • More cost effective (often a third of the price )</li>
<li>Low maintenance</li>
<li>A completely non porous surface (will not harbour bacteria)</li>
</ul>
<p>If you are in the market for a polished concrete floor then you should be aware of these different applications and systems. Quizzing your chosen contractor/installer on their methods and process is important. Knowing what products they will use in the case of a grind and seal is vital. Not all sealers are created equally and the lower quality sealers will inevitably blush and yellow or even peel and flake over time.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p>Far too often the expectations of polished concrete floors are not met or quickly deteriorate over a short period of time. Selling polished flooring system and delivering a grind and seal is a common occurrence. Selling a polished concrete floor and not offering the advantage of the densification process while still charging top dollar is also a common occurrence.</p>
<p>Knowing a few of the techniques and the differences in these systems which have a similar appearance to the untrained eye is important to both the owner of these floors and also to concrete flooring industry and its reputation.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft  wp-image-1944" style="border-image: initial; border-width: 10px; border-color: #DEDEDE; border-style: solid;" title="Exterior decorative concrete finish - stained" alt="Exterior decorative concrete finish - stained" src="http://www.elitecreteaustralia.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Exterior-decorative-concrete-finish-stained3-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" />CSS EMULSION™ is a clear, single component, exterior concrete sealant that has been engineered and formulated with the highest quality ingredients.This products is designed to be diluted prior to use with a compatible solvent, making it the most versatile exterior concrete sealer on the market.</p>
<p>Not only is Elite Crete Systems CSS EMULSION™ the most versatile exterior concrete sealer, it is also possibly the most durable breathable exterior concrete protective coating available. The methyl methacrylate component of CSS EMULSION™ greatly improves scratch and abrasion resistance over other comparable acrylic sealers.</p>
<p>The formulation of this product has not been heavily modified over the years like so many other sealants have been. The fact that the preferred sealer of choice to thousands of professional applicators around the world is CSS EMULSION™ speaks volumes in itself.</p>
<p>The majority of exterior concrete sealers available in concrete supply chains and home hardware supply stores across Australia and New Zealand are of very low solid content with generally over 80% of the product being a solvent. By packaging CSS EMULSION™ as a concentrate rather then diluting and cutting down the product with a solvent, the end user is given greater control over the use of the product as the solid content can be adjusted on site and modified as necessary. For example, a dilution of one part compatible solvent to one part CSS EMULSION™ in three coats would be a heavy duty protective coating yielding excellent stain and chemical resistance in comparison to a dilution of 3 parts compatible solvent to one part CSS EMULSION™ with a single coat, which in that case could be used as a cure and seal on freshly poured or “green” concrete.</p>
<p>CSS EMULSION™ can be diluted with xylene, dimethyl carbonate (DMC), acetone, lacquer thinner and other compatible oxygenated or aromatic solvents.</p>
<p>Two other alternative versions of CSS EMULSION™ exist, one in a waterborne formulation known as WCS EMULSION™ and another as a lower VOC (volatile organic compound) formulation known as CSS-V EMULSION™. WCS EMULSION™ is a waterborne concrete sealant that exhibits similar results as CSS EMULSION™ but must be used as packaged in full strength form. Aesthetically WCS EMULSION™ has more of a matte finish than that of the higher gloss level of CSS EMULSION™. CSS-V EMULSION™ has a lower VOC content at just under 150 grams per litre and must also be used as packaged in full strength.</p>
<p>The typical coverage rate of CSS EMULSION™, WCS EMULSION™ and CSS-V EMULSION™ is from 8 square meters per litre on a smooth concrete surface all the way down to 3 square meters per litre on a rough splatter texture concrete surface.</p>
<p>All Elite Crete Systems products are available only to certified and professional applicators. If you require any technical specification or product information, please contact Elite Crete Australia for further assistance. Home or business owners looking for a high quality, durable and practical solution may contact an Elite Crete Systems sales representative to arrange for an on site inspection by an approved applicator.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Concentrated Waterborne Concrete Stain</h3>
<p>Elite Crete Systems ULTRA-STONE™ is a concentrated waterborne concrete stain that was designed to be used in conjunction with PORTION CONTROL COLORANT™ (PCC) and SYNTHETIC PRIMARY PIGMENT™ (SYPP).<br />
ULTRA-STONE™ Antique Stain is a non corrosive, non hazardous, translucent concrete stain that was developed to be used for colouring, highlighting and accenting polymer modified concrete overlay systems such as; THIN-FINISH™ and TEXTURE-PAVE™.</p>
<p>ULTRA-STONE™ comes as a highly concentrated clear that was engineered and intended to be diluted with water and custom coloured with PCC or SYPP on site prior to use. One of the benefits of packaging this products as a concentrate is the ability to dilute and customize colours and ratios, allowing the end user to manipulate a wide variety of colouring techniques. It can be used full strength for solid colour coats, however typical dilutions of ULTRA STONE™ are:</p>
<p>1:1 (One part water to one part ULTRA-STONE™) &#8211; Used as a colour coat.<br />
2:1 Water to stain can be used as a antique coat.<br />
3:1 Water to stain can be used as a highlighting coat.</p>
<p>Application of ULTRA-STONE™ can be achieved with a pump up type sprayer, foam brush, roller, sponge, brush, etc. Coverage rate of ULTRA-STONE™ after dilution with water is typically from 2 to 4 square meters per litre.</p>
<p>Unlike CHEM-STONE™ Reactive Stain, ULTRA-STONE™ Antiquing Stain is not an acid stain or chemical stain but rather a waterborne concrete stain. Waterborne concrete stains do not exhibit the same longevity when used directly on concrete when compared with waterborne stains that have been used in union with a polymer modified concrete overlay. Therefore it is recommend that ULTRA-STONE™ be used with either THIN-FINISH™ or TEXTURE-PAVE™ to provide a finished concrete surface that will not peel, flake and fade.</p>
<p>ULTRA-STONE™ is used for both interior and exterior polymer modified concrete surfaces. It is recommended that the product should be sealed with a breathable sealer such as CSS Emulsion™ or WCS Emulsion™ on exterior applications. For interior applications, ULTRA- STONE™ can be sealed with a number of Elite Crete Systems concrete sealers; E100- PT1™, E100-PT3™, E100-UV1™, AUS-HD™, AUS-V™, AUS-50™, SPARTIC-ALL™ RM, SPARTIC-ALL™ SL.</p>
<p>Please contact an Elite Crete Australia technical representative if you require any assistance in choosing the correct sealer for your particular project or for any other enquires regarding technical assistance and product specification.</p>
<p>Please take note that all of Elite Crete Systems products are available to certified and professional applicators only. If you are interested in the most advanced and durable decorative concrete and industrial flooring products at your home or place of business, contact an Elite Crete Australia sales representative.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-2390 aligncenter" style="border: 10px solid white;" title="MERCAP-445™ Concrete Crack Repair" alt="MERCAP-445™ Concrete Crack Repair" src="http://www.elitecreteaustralia.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/MERCAP.jpg" width="473" height="420" /></p>
<p>Elite Crete Systems MERCAP-445™ is a clear/amber, low viscosity, moisture insensitive, 100% solids, very high early strength speciality epoxy that is intended to be used to repair existing cracks in concrete, as an anchor bolt adhesive on horizontal applications and also as a general purpose, all weather epoxy bonding agent that can be used on both damp and dry concrete surfaces.</p>
<h3>Notable properties and features of MERCAP-445™ include but are not limited to:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Gravity feed concrete crack filling and repair on horizontal and vertical finishes as while as masonry, wood, steel and other surfaces</li>
<li>With both components “A” and “B” mixed thoroughly together, MERCAP-445™ has a viscosity of 375 cps allowing for deep penetration of concrete surfaces</li>
<li>Bonds to both dry and damp concrete surfaces</li>
<li>Can be used as an epoxy mortar system when used with cleaned and dried silica sand</li>
<li>As an adhesive for dissimilar materials</li>
<li>As a structural anchor bolt adhesive on horizontal surfaces</li>
<li>Bond strength of 4 MPa in just 7 hours and a bond strength of 14.5 MPa in 7 days time</li>
<li>Compressive strength of 93 MPa (ASTM D-695)</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>Typical coverage rates of MERCAP-445™ are:</h4>
<p><b>Width Of Crack X Depth </b> <b>Linear Meters Per litre</b></p>
<ul>
<li>3.175 mm x 2.54 cm                                        12.42 meters</li>
<li>6.35 mm x 2.54 cm                                           6.21 meters</li>
<li>12.70 mm x 2.54 cm                                         3.10 meters</li>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.elitecreteaustralia.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/EliteCreteAustraliaUV1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2349" title="EliteCreteAustraliaUV1" alt="" src="http://www.elitecreteaustralia.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/EliteCreteAustraliaUV1-225x300.jpg" width="225" height="300" /></a>E100-UV1™</strong> Clear Epoxy Resin from Elite Crete Systems is a perfectly clear, two component, higher viscosity, self levelling, solvent less, 100% true solids, high gloss, non shrinking epoxy floor coating comprised of aliphatic and cycloaliphatic amines.</p>
<p>Elite Crete Systems E100-UV1™ has been engineered and formulated with the highest quality available. Unlike many other manufactures that promote and advertise 100% solid epoxy floor coatings, this product does not have any solids filler in the formulation, making it one of the few truly solid 100% resin epoxies available.</p>
<p>Like E100-PT1™, E100-UV1™ also has excellent air releasing capabilities and is also a 100% self priming and self levelling epoxy floor coating with virtually no odour and no VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds).</p>
<p>E100-UV1™ epoxy resin can be used to protect interior concrete micro toppings, polymer modified overlays, concrete flooring, concrete floors that have been coloured and stained with CHEM-STONE™ Acid Stain, HYDRA-STONE™ Concrete Dye, ULTRA-STONE™ Waterborne Stain, as a top coat to E100-PT4™ coloured epoxy as well as a carrier for REFLECTOR Enhancer™ flooring systems and numerous other concrete flooring applications. E100-UV1™ can also be used as a slurry or as a binder for an epoxy mortar system.</p>
<p>Being a crystal clear epoxy resin and also being slightly higher in viscosity in comparison to E100-PT1™ makes E100-UV1™ the preferred epoxy resin of choice when installing REFLECTOR ENHANCER™ epoxy floors. With both component A and component B mixed thoroughly together the viscosity of E100-UV1™ is 600 cps.</p>
<p>The coverage rate for E100-UV1™ epoxy resin is conditional on the profile and porosity of the substrate, method of application and the selected film thickness of the coating. Most typically the coverage rate of E100-UV1™ is from 2.4 to 3 square meters per litre. When used as the resin of choice for REFLECTOR ENHANCER™ epoxy floors, E100-UV1™ has a typical coverage rate of 1.4 to 2 square meters per litre. It is possible to apply and build E100-UV1™ at thicker applications than this and it is not uncommon to use E100-UV1™ in a single coat well above 1000 microns.</p>
<p>The curing schedule of E100-UV1™ in atmospheric conditions of 24° with a relative humidity of 50% is:</p>
<p>Tack free in 5 hours time</p>
<p>Light foot traffic in 8 hours time</p>
<p>Heavy traffic in 12 hours time</p>
<p>With a 7 day ambient cure (24° with a relative humidity of 50%), E100-UV1™ epoxy resin has a compressive strength of 98 MPa, tensile strength of 48 MPa, flexural strength of 55 MPa and a Shore D hardness of 87.</p>
<p>Optional but highly recommend protective top coats for E100-UV1™ are AUS-V™ Aliphatic Urethane Sealer and AUS-HD™ Heavy Duty Single Component Urethane which both increase scratch and abrasion resistance.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-2318 alignleft" style="border: 10px solid #DEDEDE;" title="chemical resistant coating" alt="chemical resistant coating" src="http://www.elitecreteaustralia.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/chemical-resistant-coating-224x300.jpg" width="224" height="300" /></p>
<h2>Heavy Duty Single Component Moisture Cure Urethane</h2>
<p>Elite Crete Systems AUS-HD™ Heavy Duty Single Component Chemical Resistant Urethane Sealer is an economical, clear, single component, solvent borne, moisture cure, aromatic polyurethane that is available in a high gloss or satin finish.</p>
<p>AUS-HD™ chemical resistant urethane was designed to be used on conventional concrete, concrete micro toppings, as a protective top coat to epoxy flooring, flake and quartz floor top coating and a number of other decorative concrete protective coating applications. AUS-HD™ is not just limited to use with concrete but can also be used as a sealer for soft or hardwood timber floors, bowling alleys, etc.</p>
<p>AUS-HD™ is a chemical resistant coating that has excellent scratch resistance and is unaffected by many common solvents, skydrol fluids and jet fuels, making it a suitable protective sealer for airplane hanger floors, industrial workshops, parking garages and many other commercial and industrial flooring applications.</p>
<p>The coverage rate for AUS-HD™ varies and is dependant upon the porosity and profile of the substrate as well as the method of application and the desired dry film thickness. For smoother, glossier finishes it is recommend that AUS-HD™ be applied with a woven mohair roller or with a lint free mohair roller that has been designed for polyurethanes and applied with a light pressure with a coverage of 5 to 6 square meters per litre.</p>
<p>Atmospheric conditions should be between 15°C and 32°C with a relative humidity of at least 30%. It is important to be aware that the higher the relative humidity at the time of installation and curing of AUS-HD™, the more accelerated the curing schedule of the coating will be. AUS-HD™ is a rapid curing coating in comparison to many other polyurethanes. Surface Dry time is between 25 to 45 minutes, with a Hard Dry of 3 to 6 hours dependant on humidity, temperature and the thickness of the coating. The recoating window for AUS-HD™ is between 3 to 6 hours &#8211; if recoating outside of this time frame it is recommended that the coating be sanded and then wiped with a solvent.</p>
<p>It is important to note that AUS-HD™ is chemical resistant aromatic polyurethane and is not a UV stable protective coating and should not be used if UV degradation is of concern. If UV degradation is of concern, Elite Crete Systems two component AUS-V™ Aliphatic Urethane Sealer is an ideal substate.</p>
<p>Elite Crete Systems AUS-HD™ is a solvent borne coating and should only be used in heavily ventilated environments free of any source of ignition. If solvent fumes or VOC (volatile organic compound) restrictions prevent the use of AUS-HD™, AUS-V™ is a suitable substitute with very low odour and with only 25 grams of VOC’s per litre.</p>
<p>Elite Crete Systems products have been engineered and developed to be used by trained and professional applicators only.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-2285 alignleft" style="border: 10px solid #DEDEDE;" title="epoxy paint" alt="epoxy paint" src="http://www.elitecreteaustralia.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/epoxy-paint-300x192.jpg" width="300" height="192" /></p>
<p>E100-UL7™ Underlayment Epoxy from Elite Crete Systems is a 100% true solid (100% resin content without any of the industry standard solids filler), two component, uncoloured, non solvent, non shrinking, VOC free, self levelling underlayment epoxy floor coating.</p>
<p>E100-UL7™ was engineered and designed to be used as an underlayment epoxy, scratch coat or epoxy primer coat for higher wearing and more durable coatings, such as: E100-PT1™, E100-PT4™, E100-UV1™, E100-NV4™, E100-NV5™, AUS-HD™, AUS-V™ and other superior protective coatings from Elite Crete Systems. E100-UL7™ is an economical epoxy paint system that is most commonly used as an epoxy primer coat on epoxy quartz and epoxy flake floor systems and as a binder for epoxy mortar, epoxy coving systems and as a crack repairing adhesive. E100-UL7™ is often used for industrial floors that are then coated with a high wearing, protective urethane for a durable, yet affordable seamless industrial flooring system. E100-UL7™ can be coloured on site with an optional third component Elite Crete Systems epoxy pigment.</p>
<p>Although E100-UL7™ comes as a clear, it will not exhibit the same crystal clear clarity or gloss reading of E100-PT1™ or E100-UV1™.</p>
<p>Elite Crete Systems does not recommend E100-UL7™ as a wearable protective coating, however it is recommended that E100-UL7™ be top coated with E100-PT1™, E100-PT4™, E100-UV1™, E100-NV4™, E100-NV5™ or any one of Elite Crete Systems high wear polyurethanes.</p>
<p>E100-UL7™ epoxy paint can be coloured on site with an optional third component Elite Crete Systems epoxy pigment.</p>
<p>As with all concrete coatings, E100-UL7™ coverage rates are subject to the method of application, the porosity and profile of the surface and the desired thickness of the coating. Typically E100-UL7™ is applied at 2.5 to 3.5 square meters per litre, leaving a dry film thickness between 400 to 285 microns. E100-UL7™ can be applied by a high quality, lint free mohair or lambswool roller cover, notched squeegee or a Padco Applicator.</p>
<p>E100-UL7™ epoxy paint has a viscosity of 700 cps when both the Part A Resin and Part B Hardener have been combined and mixed thoroughly together.</p>
<p>E100-UL7™ curing schedule under the atmospheric conditions of 24° C with a relative humidity of 50% is:</p>
<ul>
<li>Tack free in 8 hours time.</li>
<li>Light foot traffic in 12 hours time.</li>
<li>Heavy traffic in 16 hours time.</li>
</ul>
<p>After 7 days and under the standard atmospheric conditions of 24° C with a relative humidity of 50%, E100-UL7™ will have 83 MPa Compressive Strength and a concrete bonding strength of 24 MPa.</p>
<p>For further information or assistance in the specification of any of Elite Crete Systems industrial or commercial flooring products and systems, please get in touch with an Elite Crete Australia technical support representative.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class=" wp-image-2247 alignleft" style="border-image: initial; border-width: 10px; border-color: #DEDEDE; border-style: solid;" title="SPARTIC-ALL™ RM &amp; SL Polyaspartic Coatings" alt="SPARTIC-ALL™ RM &amp; SL Polyaspartic Coatings" src="http://www.elitecreteaustralia.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/spartic-all-225x300.jpg" width="225" height="300" /><br />
Elite Crete Systems SPARTIC-ALL™ RM and SPARTIC-ALL™ SL are formulated from the very fast curing polyaspartic ester technology. These fast cure coatings are a two component, non shrinking, semi self levelling, low odour, very high solid content, water clear protective floor sealer with industrial level durability and UV resistance.</p>
<p>SPARTIC-ALL™ is an ideal protective coating where return to service time is imperative. At 24° celsius with a relative humidity of 50%, SPARTIC-ALL™ polyaspartic coatings will have a surface dry time of 2.5 to 3.5 hours, will hard dry in 4 to 5 hours and will be mar free in 6 to 9 hours time. Because of these fast curing rates, polyaspartic formulations are often used in preference to their epoxy counterparts when time is of the essence.</p>
<p>The Coverage rate for SPARTIC-ALL™ RM and SL is typically from 4 square meters per litre to 6 square meters per litre, dependant on substrate porosity, texture, application technique and method. Commonly a single coat is used, however multiple coats can be used and should be considered under high demand conditions.</p>
<p>Although SPARTIC-ALL™ is not VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) free it has relatively low VOC emissions in comparison to the majority of protective sealers available with just 205 grams of VOC’s per litre.</p>
<p>Due to the nature of polyaspartic coatings, it can generally be said that polyaspartics demonstrate inferior self levelling properties in comparison to that of Elite Crete Systems 100% solids epoxies. In saying that, SPARTIC-ALL™ SL does have improved self levelling qualities over that of SPARTIC-ALL™ RM.</p>
<p>SPARTIC-ALL™ is frequently used for quartz flooring and flake flooring applications as well as industrial coatings for schools, supermarkets, hospitals, prisons, warehouses, storage facilities and in general on any internal concrete floors in a high traffic, high demand environment. SPARTIC-ALL™ can also be used over internal polymer modified concrete overlay systems, such as THIN-FINISH™ and TEXTURE-PAVE™. Chemical and stain resistance are high and often make SPARTIC-ALL™ a candidate coating for medical centres, veterinary clinics, food and chemical processing plants.</p>
<p>Notable features of SPARTIC-ALL™ include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Extremely fast return to service time.</li>
<li>Excellent durability and protection to UV rays.</li>
<li>High gloss finish.</li>
<li>Matte finish with the addition of aluminium oxide.</li>
<li>Excellent strength and impact resistance.</li>
<li>Can be used as a mortar system, broadcast system or neat.</li>
<li>High chemical and stain resistance.</li>
<li>Can be used as a carrier of the ever popular REFLECTOR Enhancer™.</li>
<li>Low odour and low VOC content at just 205 grams per litre.</li>
</ul>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft  wp-image-2126" style="border-image: initial; border-width: 10px; border-color: #DEDEDE; border-style: solid;" title="Aliphatic Urethane" alt="Aliphatic Urethane" src="http://www.elitecreteaustralia.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Aliphatic-Urethane-300x197.jpg" width="300" height="197" /><br />
Elite Crete Systems AUS-V™ Aliphatic Urethane Sealer is a clear, UV stable, two component with an optional third component (AUS-V™ AGG), high solids, high quality, very low VOC, non flammable, aliphatic urethane that was engineered and designed to be used on epoxy floor coatings.</p>
<p>AUS-V™ can reduce considerably staining from materials such as grease, oil, typical food stains and numerous household chemicals as well as adding improved scratch and abrasion resistance to epoxy floor coatings. This product AUS-V™ can reduce considerably staining from materials such as grease, oil, typical food stains and numerous household chemicals as well as adding improved scratch and abrasion resistance to epoxy floor coatings. This product also helps in hiding surface imperfections.</p>
<p>With a very low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) content of a mere 25 grams per litre, AUS-V™ is frequently used in place of conventional aromatic and aliphatic polyurethanes that have high solvent and VOC content and are not fitting for local, state and federal environmental regulations and conditions. AUS-V™ has virtually no odour and can be used without closing down and barricading individual zones during application and curing.</p>
<p>AUS-V™ is a clear protective finish that exhibits a slight eggshell texture as the finished product. With the addition of a third component, AUS-V™ AGG (aluminium oxide aggregate) a satin finish can be accomplished which will also improve scratch and slip resistance. Slip resistance can be modified to the desired level with the use of AUS- V™ AGG.</p>
<p>The coverage rate of AUS-V™ is between 12 and 13.5 square meters per litre. The first coat must be allowed to dry before a second coat can be applied. Additional coats have to be applied within 24 hours or a light sanding and solvent or alcohol wipe must be performed prior to an additional coat. Typically 2 to 3 coats of this product are applied to provide the highest quality protective floor finish.</p>
<p>A wet edge must be maintained while applying AUS-V™ in order to control roller lines and overlapping. Failure to follow the prescribed coverage rate can cause whitening and foaming if applied too thick, or alternatively, if applied too thin the coating will expose application lines and will not provide an even and consistent surface.</p>
<p>AUS-V™ can be applied by a high quality, non linting, lambs wool or synthetic 10mm roller cover. It can also be applied by an airless sprayer.</p>
<p>AUS-V™ should be applied on a surface with temperatures between 5°C and 32°C with dry atmospheric conditions present during application and curing. The floor surface must be clean and dry with no moisture, debris or impurities present at the time of installation. AUS-V™ cannot be open to heavy foot traffic until the finish has been fully cured.</p>
<p>If technical assistance is required in the specification of any of Elite Crete Systems resinous floor coatings or if you need clarification on the advantages, benefits and differences from one of our product lines to another please contact an Elite Crete Australia technical support or sales representative.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2079" style="border-image: initial; border-width: 10px; border-color: #DEDEDE; border-style: solid;" title="resin floor" alt="resin floor" src="http://www.elitecreteaustralia.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/resin-floor-300x200.jpg" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p>Elite Crete Systems E100-PT1™ Crystal Clear Epoxy Standard and Fast Set have zero solvents, zero VOC’s, are a true 100% solid resin, 100% self levelling, two component, non shrinking, air releasing, high gloss, low odour, industrial strength resinous floor coating.</p>
<p>When we say true 100% solid epoxy resin we are making reference to the majority of epoxies that are marketed as a 100% solid epoxy but are in fact loaded with fillers &#8211; albeit solid fillers, so that they can accurately claim to be a 100% solid product but dramatically cut their cost and increase their profit margins. E100-PT1™ has no fillers and the result is a extremely hard wearing, crystal clear, self levelling, true resin based epoxy formula.</p>
<p>E100-PT1™ from Elite Crete Systems is commonly used as a protective coating for industrial floors, warehouses, garages, residential concrete floors, epoxy quartz systems, grind and seal applications, used as a binder for epoxy mortar systems, concrete floors that have been stained or dyed with HYDRA-STONE™ Dye Stain, CHEM-STONE™ Reactive Stain and ULTRA-STONE™ Antique Stain and multitude other concrete flooring applications.</p>
<p>Both E100-PT1™ Standard and Fast Set demonstrates exceptional air releasing capabilities as well as being a user friendly, 100% self levelling epoxy resin floor coating. E100-PT1™ can be applied by a roller, squeegee, trowel, notched trowel or Padco applicator.</p>
<p>The coverage rate of E100-PT1™ as an epoxy resin floor coating is determined by the porosity and profile of the surface to be coated as well as the desired film thickness and method of application. In general , base coats, primer coats or scratch coats if applied on smooth conventional concrete will cover between 2.5 to 3.5 square meters per litre which is between 400 to 285 microns. If applied on a thin stamped overlay, slate trowel down or knockdown finish will cover up to 2.5 square meters per litre.</p>
<p>With the two components mixed, E100-PT1™ has a viscosity of 300 cps, which is considerably less than that of E100-UV1™, making it in general a better suited epoxy resin for larger industrial and commercial sites.</p>
<p>The curing schedule for E100-PT1™ Standard at an ambient temperature of 24° C and relative humidity of 50% is as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Tack free in 5 to 7 hours time</li>
<li>Light foot traffic in 7 to 9 hours time</li>
<li>Heavy traffic in 9 to 12 hours time</li>
</ul>
<p>The curing schedule for E100-PT1™ Fast Set at an ambient temperature of 24° C and relative humidity of 50% is as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Tack free in 3 to 4 hours time</li>
<li>Light foot traffic in 4 to 6 hours time</li>
<li>Heavy traffic in 6 to 8 hours time</li>
</ul>
<p>After a 7 day ambient cure (24° C with a relative humidity of 50%), E100-PT1™ has a compressive strength of 83 MPa, tensile strength of 42 MPa, flexural strength of 52 MPa and a Shore D hardness of 89.</p>
<p>Elite Crete Systems has a number of aliphatic and aromatic polyurethanes that can be used on top of E100-PT1™ epoxy resin floor coatings for added chemical and abrasion resistance.</p>
