DESCRIPTION:

The CCS - S1 is a one coat system which consists of a unique combination of epoxy resins and other chemical substances. It is specifically formulated to overcome the poor long-term adhesion properties of most resin-based systems when curing in an environment of extreme alkalinity (up to pH 14) and excessive water vapor drive. Due to its high density, it is capable of reducing water vapor levels acceptable for most coatings, adhesives and floor covering systems. The CCS - S1 is in full compliance with VOC regulations. The CCS - S1 has excellent chemical and abrasion resistance.

USES\BENEFITS:

The primary recommended use for the CCS - S1 is to solve the problems of alkalinity and moisture\water vapor emissions through mineral-based substrates like concrete. CCS - S1 can be used both indoors and outdoors, has low odor and is non-flammable. CCS - S1 can be applied to new concrete in 7 days minimum cure time reducing overall project timeline.

SURFACE PREPARATION:

The substrate to receive the CCS - S1, must be sound, clean, absorptive and meet acceptable industry standards. Any type of surface contamination like adhesives, coatings, curing compounds, alkaline silicates, efflorescence, dust, grease, oils, and all extraneous matter must be completely removed by shot blasting to ICRI CSP 3 finish. Acid etching is prohibited and grinding surface in not recommended.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:

The CCS - S1 is a two component material (Part A & Part B) that must be thoroughly mixed (follow instructions on container) prior to application on substrate. The CCS - S1 can be applied using a squeegee and\or short nap roller. The coverage rates for CCS - S1 depend on the surface texture and porosity of the substrate as well as, the degree of moisture level. On average, coverage of 70 to 125 sq. ft. per gallon can be expected. Contact Concrete Curative Systems for recommended spread rate based on individual project and environment.

UNDERLAYMENT APPLICATION:

If cementatious underlayments are to be used, for any reason, apply a non-porous substrate primer and then the underlayment on top of the CCS - S1. Consult with Concrete Curative Systems prior to using underlayments for recommendation based on individual project.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS:

The CCS - S1 must be applied at ambient and substrate temperatures between 50 and 90 degrees F (10 C and 32.2 C, respectively). The relative humidity must not exceed 80%.

CONCRETE CONDITIONS, TESTING AND CONSIDERATIONS:

Prior to application of CCS - S1, all chemical treatments applied to the concrete, including, but not limited to, curing compounds, hardeners and densifiers, along with the mix design of the concrete should be documented and communicated to Concrete Curative Systems. Contamination from exterior sources like spills, leaks, or natural disasters that could introduce any number of harmful chemicals, organic or inorganic, should also be documented and communicated to Concrete Curative Systems prior to application. It is the facility owner’s responsibility to communicate all information regarding the concrete’s history and current status, including, but not limited to, testing for ASR and organic residue. If required, contact Concrete Curative Systems technical support for a recommendation on selecting a specialized engineering or testing firm.

CHARACTERISTICS OF PERFORMANCE:

CCS - S1 has been specially formulated to penetrate deep into the concrete substrate in order to provide an exceptional bond. Due to this penetration, the S1 may show signs of “out-gassing” by air voids being formed in the material (peaks) after application. In no way do these air voids diminish the effectiveness of the S1 because it is designed to self-seal under the voids. Once the S1 has cured these air voids can be removed with a razor scraper or using a light grit sanding disc. During the underlayment application, these voids can be filled with no effect to performance or appearance.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

Component A contains epoxy resins. Component B contains amines. Avoid skin and eye contact as well as, prolonged exposure to vapors. Use safety goggles and chemical resistant gloves when handling. Ventilate the work area properly.

WARRANTY:

STANDARD WARRANTY: 10 years from installation date. Refer to Concrete Curative System’s 10 Year Limited Warranty documents (can be found on web site: for additional information regarding warranty.
