Concrete Coating
Concrete Coating
(OP)
I'm looking for a one or two part polyurethane coating for concrete to facilitate cleaning. Exposure is to printing inks (nothing corrosive).
Any suggestions about products and/or preparation?

RE: Concrete Coating
i haven't ween a polyurethane system but one my be out there. I seen fluorinated, silicone, acrylic with combinations thereof.
I've used Wearlon Coatings and they preformed as advertised or better.

RE: Concrete Coating
I've specified a two part polyurethane coating from Euclid Chemicals in past... with good results, and I had a query from a contractor about specifying a second product and was wondering if anyone else had a good product they had used. It's for a concrete slab and my experience is that polyurethanes hold up much better than acryllic coatings...

RE: Concrete Coating
If I wanted something to cover concrete I would start with an epoxy, but bu Wearlons little illustration shows everything sticks to epoxy or epoxy sticks to everything. Acrylics are modified for covering concrete and do a good job in coverage. I've never applied one as an easy clean surface.
Some of the old chlorinated rubber paints were easy to clean after a couple of weeks curing. They are not around anymore. All of the chlorinated rubber self cleaning type paint has been upstaged by the fluorinated variety. I haven't used them but they look good on paper with one over bearing problem, the cost.

Footnote:
A newspaper quite printing locally and left a rather large quantity of inks in temporary storage shed and the taggers got to it. I under stand they were selling it on the web as well as marking up every thing around here.
