when the temperatures drop below 50°F (10°C) or if precipitation is imminent. Special precautions are to be taken when ambient and/or substrate temperatures are approaching, at, or above 90°F (32°C) and it may be necessary to limit material application to evening hours for exterior exposed decks. • Hot surfaces should be cooled and shaded while cold surfaces should be heated and sheltered. Mixing: • Use chemical resistant (Nitrile) gloves and goggles when mixing or applying AQUAFIN-TC150AL. • For ease of mixing and placement, the temperature of the material should be between 70°F to 80°F (21°C to 27°C). • Open container and mix for 1 - 2 minutes until streak free mixture is obtained. Thoroughly scrape sides of pail as material is mixed. Boxing material is recommended to ensure color uniformity. • Use caution not to whip air into the material as this may result in pinhole blisters and/or shortened pot life. Do not mix in an up and down motion. Installation: Read all instructions thoroughly prior to installation. • Codes and regulations will vary between cities, counties, municipalities, states and federal divisions. Refer to project drawings and specifications and always follow all applicable codes and requirements. • When the application calls for TC 400 or TC 500, all layers in the 4 Coat or 5 Coat System may be required. This includes the use of PRO-Tekt SP (Sealant Primer), even if concrete surface conditions do not appear to warrant the use of a primer. See illustrations and chart located at the bottom of page 4 of this Technical Data Sheet. • For best results, apply AQUAFIN-TC150AL using a notched squeegee Page 1 of 4
(04/10/24 - EKJWAC)
AQUAFIN-TC150AL or a notched trowel. A phenolic resin core roller may be used but extra care should be taken not to trap air which may result in bubbles. • Apply AQUAFIN-TC150AL in a continuous coating (wet on wet) application to minimize lines and/or streaking. • For warm weather applications [above 75°F (24°C)], keep product containers out of direct sunlight. Notes: Always verify that the proper WFT (wet film thickness) has been achieved by measuring each coat using a wet film gauge. As a minimum, it is recommended to check the mil thickness in every corner, plus the center areas of the application area. Large areas will require many check points. When applying multiple, thinner coats, verify that the total DFT (dry film thickness) meets the stated requirements. See coverage chart for minimum WFT mil guidelines and DFT mil requirements. Single Coat Pedestrian Applications where UV Stability is required: • Base Base Coat: Apply AQUAFIN-TC100M at a rate of 85 – 100 ft2 per gal (2.0- 2.4 m2 per liter) to achieve a minimum of 16 mils WFT (wet film thickness) [12 (± 2) mils DFT (dry film thickness)]. • Allow base coat of AQUAFIN-TC100M to cure [typically16 hours at 75°F (24°C) and 50% relative humidity]. • Top Coat: Apply AQUAFIN-TC150AL within 36 hours at a rate of 85 – 100 ft2 per gal (2.0 - 2.4 m2 per liter) to achieve a minimum of 16 mils WFT [12 (± 2) mils DFT]. • Immediately (within 2 minutes) after application, broadcast Aquafin Coated Quartz Sand at a rate of 10 - 20 lbs/100 ft2 (0.5 - 1.0 kg/ m2) or as required to achieve a slip-resistant finish and immediately backroll sand into the wet coating so that the sand is fully encapsulated. The aggregate should be applied vertically, allowing it to fall onto the AQUAFIN-TC150AL. As a second option, clean, dry, washed, oven dried, rounded sand, 16 - 20 mesh (0.84 - 1.19 mm), 6.5+ Mohs minimum hardness can also be used for the sand broadcast. • Total System Thickness: 32 mils WFT + 15 mils due to sand aggregate broadcast (20 to 28 mils DFT + 15 mils sand).

The aggregate should be applied vertically, allowing it to fall onto the AQUAFIN-TC150AL. As a second option, clean, dry, washed, oven dried, rounded sand, 16 - 20 mesh (0.84 - 1.19 mm), 6.5+ Mohs minimum hardness can also be used for the sand broadcast. • Total System Thickness: 48 mils WFT + 15 mils DFT due to sand aggregate broadcast (36 to 44 DFT + 15 mils sand). TC 400 - 4 Coat System and TC 500 - 5 Coat System: Refer to current AQUAFIN-TC125 Technical Data Sheet for layer-bylayer application instructions. See page 4 of this Technical Data Sheet for guidance in layering sequence. Protection and Curing: • Allow at least 96 hours [based on 75°F (24°C) and 50% relative humidity] before permitting pedestrian traffic on the finished surface after application of AQUAFIN-TC150AL as the final top coat. • Allow at least 120 hours [based on 75°F (24°C) and 50% relative humidity] before permitting vehicular traffic on the finished surface after application of AQUAFIN-TC150AL as the final top coat (as part of the TC 500 - 5 Coat System). • AQUAFIN-TC150AL is sensitive to heat and moisture. Higher ambient or higher surface temperatures, or high humidity will accelerate the cure time. Cooler ambient or cooler surface temperatures, or low humidity will extend the curing time. Care and Maintenance: • A weekly cleaning routine is recommended for busy areas and will help extend the life of the pedestrian traffic coating system. • Sweep or vacuum the top surface, and then clean it with a wet mop. • For occasional heavy cleaning, the use of a pressure washer (maximum 1,000 psi) is recommended along with a low suds, bio degradable detergent. It is important to thoroughly rinse the area and remove all traces of residue and detergent to prevent a slipping hazard. • Solvent-based cleaners may cause damage to the pedestrian traffic coating system and are not recommended. • Leaves, rusted metal, soil from plants, and other stain-causing materials can result in permanent discoloration to the top coat of the pedestrian traffic coating system. See Recoating and Repairs section below when staining has occurred. Recoating and Repairs: • Inspect the surface of the pedestrian traffic coating periodically, and Page 2 of 4
AQUAFIN-TC150AL look for signs of wear and damage to the top coat. • When occasional recoating of the AQUAFIN-TC150AL top coat is needed, follow the procedure below. 1. Pressure-wash the existing surface of AQUAFIN-TC150AL top coat with water to clean and remove all foreign matter, dirt, debris and any loose coating. 2. Allow area to dry completely. 3. Apply Aquafin RE-ROOF Primer PO in a monolithic application at a rate of 100 - 200 ft² per gal (2.5 to 4.9 m2 per liter) to achieve a minimum of 5 mils (0.1 mm) WFT (wet film thickness). 4. Allow RE-ROOF Primer PO to cure (to touch) until no longer tacky. 5. Once RE-ROOF Primer PO is tack-free, apply AQUAFIN-TC150AL to the primed area within 12 hours. Apply AQUAFIN-TC150AL at a rate of 85 – 100 ft2 per gal (2.0 - 2.4 m2 per liter) to achieve a minimum of 16 mils WFT (wet film thickness) [12 (± 2) mils DFT (dry film thickness)]. 6. Allow recoat of AQUAFIN-TC150AL to cure [typically16 hours at 75°F (24°C) and 50% relative humidity] and protect the area from pedestrian traffic for at least 48 hours. 7. Refer to the current RE-ROOF Primer PO and AQUAFIN-TC150AL Technical Data Sheets for additional surface preparation, mixing and application instructions. Note: If damage has occurred below the top coat layer of the pedestrian traffic coating system, contact Aquafin Technical Department or your local Aquafin Representative for repair recommendations. Clean-up: Immediately clean all equipment and tools with polyurethane-grade solvent (alcohol free). Limitations: • Do not thin AQUAFIN-TC150AL with solvents or dilute in any manner. • High temperatures/high humidity will result in shortened working times. • Contact Aquafin Technical Department or your local Aquafin Representative for guidance in jobsite conditions outside the stated limits. • Once containers have been opened, use material as soon as possible. • Color may vary due to batch-to-batch variation, always “box” different batches to avoid it. • Do not use over split slabs except when applying AQUAFIN-TC150AL over VAPORTIGHT COAT®-SG3 as a moisture mitigation barrier. • Do not use AQUAFIN-TC150AL on applications including buried membrane, sandwich slabs with insulation, slabs over unvented metal pan, magnesite and non-structural lightweight concrete. Contact Aquafin Technical Department with questions. • Pedestrian traffic coating systems are not replacements for proper repairs on damaged, deteriorated, or cracked concrete structures. • If concrete repairs are needed, consult a licensed Engineer and ask an Aquafin Representative about Aquafin concrete repair products. • Not recommended as a substitute for roofing over occupied space.

Notes: Application rates and yield values are approximate. Actual coverage may vary due to substrate variances. Failure to achieve the required DFT will compromise the effectiveness of the product and void the warranty. It is the applicator’s responsibility to verify that the required dry mil thickness has been attained. Applications with broadcast do not include sand aggregate in the DFT measurement. The required DFT must be achieved neat. The sand aggregate broadcast will add additional thickness. WFT (wet film thickness) and DFT (dry film thickness) requirements are provided in mils.
