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

Paint can change the color of a substrate. Stains cannot. Concrete, CMU and stucco have natural color variations. The use of a stain specifically formulated for masonry surfaces can blend the color differences of the substrate resulting in a more uniform appearance.     Â
Super Color Stain is a high solids, penetrating acrylic stain that can be applied to both vertical and horizontal surfaces. Super Color Stain can also be applied to Elastideck to freshen the appearance after years of wear.            Â
Super Color Stain is available in 34 standard colors. Custom color matching is not practical because stains are translucent and the substrate influences final color.

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.

Hershey Country Club Pool
Project History
In 1903, chocolate magnate Milton Hershey began building a model community for his workers around his new factory. In 1930, he decided workers needed a place to play golf, and the Hershey Country Club was formed. This club has hosted numerous PGA and LPGA events. A heated swimming pool and an outdoor lounge offers family members a place to unwind while golfers roam the links. The integrally colored, patterned concrete around the swimming pool had faded badly and needed to be recoated. Several manufacturers’ products were sampled, but Super Color Stain HR was chosen for its penetration, UV stability and stain resistance. Houck used a hydro-demolition machine to remove a uniform amount of the cement paste and provide an open profile. They also appreciated that the product did not require the addition of acetone at the jobsite, saving time under a tight deadline. Two coats were applied, protecting against pool splash and wear, while maintaining excellent water vapor transmission.

Walt Snyder Stadium
Project History
The entire Walt Snyder Stadium grandstand structure is composed of precast concrete. The project’s budget focused on filling bugholes for a specific square footage and taking proactive measures to extend the life of the structure. Plastermix was used on the stair risers at eye level to provide a very uniform texture for the most visible areas. D & A Masonry addressed bugholes on the higher level risers by using a hopper sprayer to apply Elastideck, a cementitious membrane, and then driving the Elastideck into the bugholes with drywall knives. This technique provided a very smooth surface. Elastideck was also used on the stair treads, and to mask the cold joints which were left visible after a previous phase. Super Color Stain, a water based acrylic coating, was used over the Elastideck to provide dirt and stain resistance. Both products are breathable and provide waterproofing to protect the underlying concrete. Color Coat acrylic coating was used on the undersides of the bleachers, the press box and utility shed to provide preventative waterproofing.
