SureCrete’s ColorTec 180™ is a high gloss commercial grade colored floor polyaspartic product specially formulated to dry fast with an 88% solids content. ColorTec-180 is a hybrid solvent based pigmented polyaspartic for professional use only. Unlike many polyaspartic’s on the market, it is a high-performance coating with a user-friendly pot life of approximately 10 minutes and the ability to create a moderate build (7 mils cured) base coat for full broadcast flake system. Turnaround time for a garage floor flake system may be as little as six hours.
ColorTec 180 colored floor polyaspartic provides a low VOC (less than 150 g/L), penetrating, film forming, high gloss, UV stable, fade resistant pigments for a durable colored floor as well as a base coat on a flake floor system. The rapid cure time eliminates excessive waiting to return a floor to service. It is ideally suited for both commercial and residential settings where high traffic is present: aircraft hangars, clean room floors, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, bars, clubs, retail stores, automotive showrooms, residential interiors, garage floors, stadiums, or any high traffic area where an exceedingly resilient garage floor flake system is desired.
The ability to create a beautiful flake floor in just one day can open many doors regarding not only project locations but also scope. Large retailers will be much more willing to close their doors early and have work performed overnight than to be unavailable to their customers for an entire business day. Please remember that systems using the ColorTec 180 product like the One Day Polyaspartic Garage Floor flake system are intended to be applied only by trained professional contractors.

COLORTEC 180 TEMPERATURE/CURE
Avoid applying DK-180 on extremely hot days or during wet, foggy weather. Basic rules include:
- Apply with ambient and surface temperatures ranging above 32°F (0°C) and below 90°F (32°C) and that will remain within ranges for at least 12 hours following application.
Note: as temperature falls below 60°F (10°C) part B will “thicken”. To empty part B from container will require moving into a heated space until the viscosity allows product to pour.
- Surface temperature must be a minimum 5°F (3°C) above dew point.
- Relative humidity should be below 75%.
