AgriCrete - PIM+ Type S application manual

Step 1: Surface preparation

For best results, due to the depth PIM+ Type S can penetrate, ensure the concrete has cured for at least 21 days.
Ensure the surface is clean.

Use a Hudson-can-style hand-pump sprayer for even, soaking, application.
Spray back and forth over the same area a minimum of four times, overlapping as you move up to the adjoining dry area.
For vertical surfaces, apply from the bottom up.
For horizontal surfaces, apply from the low point (i.e., near a drain) up to the high point.
Apply until the surface stays wet and shiny for at least 10 seconds.
Spread any puddles remaining after 30 seconds with a mop or squeegee.

Any excess PIM+ Type S not spread out before it dries, will dry to a 200 mesh silicate flour, (the same size as talcum powder) and very difficult to broom off concrete.
It is easier to hose off the surface treated before the surface air dries.
This will not affect the PIM+ Type S treatment as the gels formed in 15 to 20 seconds are inside the concrete, not on the surface of the concrete.

Coverage depends on the porosity of the concrete surface. i.e. exposed aggregate absorbs more product than machine troweled floors.
Expect 100 to 225 square feet per gallon with an average coverage of about 150 square feet per gallon.

The gels formed inside the concrete up to the 6 mm or greater depth PIM+ Type S penetrated require a minimum 72 hours to cure, hydrating into non-soluble silicate/glass crystals in the internal voids previously filled with water-soluble alkali salt crystals.
The PIM+ Type S treated surface, while wet, can be rained on and walked on.

PIM+ Type S is water-based and not flammable.
Wear rubber gloves and eye protection. PIM+ Type S causes skin and serious eye irritation, and if your hands get wet, the 200-mesh silicate/glass crystals left when it dries will irritate the creases in your skin.
