TerraColor

Performance Characteristics

• Used to create the base color or faux finish of repair area.

• Long-term protection.
• Two-coat application passes ASTM E514 for wind driven rain.

• Water vapor permeable.

• UV stable. Mildew resistant.

• Premium quality, exterior grade pigments minimize fading.

• 38 standard colors and custom matching.

Surface Preparation

• Remove loose and deteriorated material, laitance, dirt, dust, oil and any surface contaminants that will inhibit proper adhesion.
• Prepare surface to be sandpaper-like texture (CSP 3) by mechanical abrasion or medium water blasting. Refer to ICRI Surface Preparation Guide 03732 for information about Concrete Surface Profile (CSP).
• Surface must be dry and frost free.
• Small voids, air pockets, static cracks up to 1/16 inch and irregularities should be filled with Matrix TR.
• Repair larger voids and damaged areas with Matrix or MIMIC.
• Repair hairline to 3/4 inch cracks with Conproco Injection Grout (do not fill cavities). Available in 8 standard colors

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.
• Brush apply a uniform 8 mils. wet thickness.
• Maintain a wet edge.
• Apply a second coat when the first is dry-to-touch.
• Apply Terracotta Finish (available in gloss or matte) over cured Terra-Color to achieve depth seen in most terracotta glazes or to recreate fire skin on brick.

Curing

• Protect from moisture for 24 hours.

Clean Up

• Clean tools and equipment with water. Clean adjacent areas with water before material dries.

Coverage/Yield

• 200 ft.²/gal. @ 8 mils. wet.

Product Handling

• 1 gallon containers.

• 18 months in unopened containers.

• Protect from freezing.
• Transport and store in cool, clean, dry conditions in unopened containers.
• High temperature will reduce shelf life.

Limitations

• Do not apply if precipitation is forecast within 24 hours of application.
• Do not apply in strong winds.
• Do not apply to frozen surfaces.
• Do not apply if temperature of substrate is below 45°F.
• Do not apply if ambient temperature is below 45°F.
• Do not apply in areas susceptible to ponding water.

Health and Safety

• Product is alkaline.
• Do not ingest.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
• Avoid breathing vapors.
• Refer to Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for additional information.

First Aid

• In case of skin contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
• For eye contact, flush immediately with a high volume of water for at least 15 minutes and contact a medical professional.
• For respiratory problems, remove person to fresh air.
• If respiratory difficulty persists, contact a medical professional.
