- Apply Plastermix to concrete surfaces where a monolithic, void free texture is desired.
Priming
- Priming is not necessary under normal circumstances.
Mixing
- Stir or mechanically mix using a low speed drill (400 – 600) until homogenous.
- Mix pails from different batches when an entire surface is visible.
Application
- Apply a test sample to determine adhesion. Test using ASTM D3359 cross-hatch adhesion procedure.
- Substrate temperature must be above 45°F.
- Ambient temperature must be above 45°F for the entire curing period.
- Roll, spray or brush apply a uniform 8 mils. wet thickness.

For Cement Based Materials
The gallons per minute volume of a rotor/stator pump is determined by the pump size (i.e. size 6 has a larger capacity than size 3). The pressure capacity of a pump is determined by the number of stages. Thicker materials and longer distances require higher pressure.Â

Color Coat is a 100% acrylic paint formulated specifically for the high alkalinity of cementitious substrates. This compatibility significantly extends the useful life of the coating.Â
Color Coat is a rigid coating that will not bridge cracks. The application rate per coat is about 50% of Lastic. Color Coat is recommended for exposed concrete such as balcony ceilings, parking garage overheads and the underside of concrete structures. Lastic is not recommended for these applications.Â
Color Coat is available in 38 standard and unlimited custom colors. Color Coat is available in smooth and sanded finishes to accent architectural details.

M3P: An inorganic mineral silicate based paint that provides long-term protection and water repellency without changing the natural appearance of the substrate.
Best Suited: Protection from water and carbonation for structures that are difficult to maintain or impractical to recoat in the future. Provides a natural “not painted” appearance. Use when the object is to blend the color of the substrate to be more uniform
M3P Overcoat: Highly breathable hybrid mineral silicate/acrylic coating for application over painted or unpainted surfaces providing a natural non-gloss finish.
Best Suited: Previously painted substrates, particularly silicone and elastomeric coatings which after multiple application reduce vapor transmission to low levels. On unpainted surfaces to preserve natural appearance while hiding significant color variations in the substrate.
Conpro Lastic: An elastomeric waterproof breathable membrane for vertical exterior surfaces.
Best Suited: Structures that require a membrane waterproofing treatment because of cracks, mortar joints, porosity and other physical characteristics that allow water, carbonation and other contaminants into the substrate.
Color Coat: A water-based acrylic coating for concrete and masonry substrates.
Best Suited: Ideal for weather protection of concrete and stucco. High vapor transmission makes this coating well suited for nosing and underside of balconies. Good performance to cost ratio.
Super Color Stain: A penetrating opaque water-based stain that provides uniform color to concrete and masonry.
Best Suited: Horizontal and vertical surfaces that require water repellency as well as uniform color.
TerraColor: Formulated to match colored glaze finishes.
Best Suited: Repairing and restoring terracotta and brick.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW WHEN CHOOSING A COLOR AND COATING
The actual color of the coating and stain may vary from the color samples in this card.
Always order a wet sample to be applied to the intended substrate. Allow to cure for a minimum of 24 hours before evaluating.
Stains are generally used in a color similar to the substrate and tend to be more natural looking compared to paints.
Paints are generally used to change the color of the substrate.
Elastomeric coatings are used to waterproof substrates that have movement (cracking or when carbonation is a concern).
The curing rate will affect the final color of Conpro Stucco. Substrate absorption, temperature, wind, moisture and the changing angle of the sun or obstructions that block the sun while curing will contribute to color variation of cementitious coating.
Always apply a sample of the material to the structure to determine actual coverage and the degree of adhesion (ASTM D3359). Allow one week curing before conducting adhesion test.
Plastermix applied to concrete prior to a coating will dramatically improve the overall appearance by creating a uniform, bug-hole free surface.

Purnell Hall

Project History
The University of Delaware’s Purnell Hall project included concrete accent repairs and application of protective coatings on all concrete elements and decks. Since horizontal, vertical and overhead coatings would be used, it was important that all coatings were accurately color matched. Any variation in color would be very evident where the balcony elevation and the regular elevations meet and intersect with the balconies’ fascia and soffits. CRI Restoration also had to complete the project in a very narrow time frame. The Conproco system offered the benefit of a single source manufacturer, which streamlined the process.

Audubon High School Grandstand

Project History
Audubon High School grandstand was built in 1936. Physical wear, corrosion of steel reinforcing, deicing salts, acid rain and freeze/thaw cycling all played a role in spalling and deterioration of concrete surfaces. The architect, structural engineer and school district formulated a repair strategy designed to restore the structural elements, update the appearance and incorporate protective measures to extend the useful life of the stadium. Extensions to widen each of the steps on the main stair aisles were poured to bring them up to code. Conpro Primer was applied first to the existing concrete to improve adhesion. Once the repairs were complete Elastideck and Super Color Stain HR system was used on the treads and risers to prevent water entry. Color Coat was used to coat the soffit of the grandstand, concrete columns supporting the grandstand and the various knee walls around the grandstand.
