foot and rubber-tired vehicle traffic.
The coating is also s

concrete may require acid etching, abrasive blasting or
sa

ng
to assure proper coating adhesion. Determine porosity by p
o
u
r
i
ng
one ounce of water onto the concrete. If water soaks in,
t
h
e
surface is porous enough for coating. If water beads up on
t
h

concrete, the surface is not porous and treatment is

The presence of laitance (fine white particles) will also require
a

etching, abrasive blasting, sanding or abrading to assure

PREVIOUSLY COATED CONCRETE:
Remove loose dirt, dust a

paint by sweeping or vacuum cleaning. Remove grease, oil,
fl

compound or wax as indicated above, in the
new, un

concrete
section. Very glossy or hard coatings should be
li

t
l
y
sanded to insure maximum adhesion. The 6500 system will
n
o
t
lift most previous coatings. Concrete floor areas which
r
e
qu
i
r
e
patching should be free of dirt, oil, grease and other
c
h
e
m
i
c
a
l
contaminants as indicated above, in the
new, uncoated
