<strong>iCOAT</strong> Diamond Coat System Process<br />

Step 1:<br />

Step 2:<br />

*<br />

Option:<br />

Step 3:<br />

Step 4:<br />

Depending on the hardness of the concrete, grind with 30-<br />

50 grit metal bonds to expose aggregate to desired look.<br />

Grind with 100 Grit metal bond diamond, to remove<br />

scratches from previous step.<br />

At this point if the substrate is porous or pitted a grout<br />

coat would be applied.<br />

Polish with 120 grit resin bond diamonds to remove final<br />

scratches. This will be all the grinding you need to do.<br />

(Grinding up to 400 grit can be done if a certain level of<br />

concrete hardness is required, this will not change the<br />

look of the finished system) Adhesion tests have been<br />

done up to a 400 grit resin bond without adhesion failure.<br />

We do not recommend polishing any higher than the 400<br />

grit resin bond level, and most applications will not<br />

require more than the 120 grit level.<br />

Apply 2-3 coats of Polyurea 1 HD or Polyurea 2 Ultra, with<br />

or without max UDP loading depending on gloss level<br />

desired. Max UDP loading is 25% per Volume. Initial coat<br />

of HD or Ultra is recommended full loading of UDP,<br />

subsequent coats can be less loading, depending on<br />

desired gloss level. Commercial applications may require<br />

3 coats of HD or Ultra due to heavy use environment.<br />

Contact your local <strong>iCOAT</strong> Australia representative for<br />

advice regarding this system and UDP levels.<br />

**After 24 hours of the last topcoat being applied,<br />

you can return to full service.<br />

What’s involved in a Typical <strong>Polishing</strong> Process<br />

- Unprocessed concrete<br />

- Grind with 30,70,120 grit metal bonds<br />

- 50,100,200,400 grit resin bonds<br />

- Application of a Densifier<br />

- Continue Honing with 400 grit resin<br />

- <strong>Polishing</strong> with 800,1500,3000 grit resin<br />

- Complete with burnishing pad<br />

- Stain guard sealer application<br />

Polyurea 1 HD and Polyurea 2<br />

Ultra are single component,<br />

UV-stable, Aliphatic Polyurea<br />

that has the best chemical and<br />

abrasion resistance available on<br />

the market today. Due to its unique<br />

chemical make-up and manufacturing process,<br />

this coating provides exceptional protection while<br />

offering a virtually unlimited pot life and crystal clear<br />

finish. It is resistant to staining from a wide variety<br />

of chemicals and caustic materials. Low odour and<br />

minimal VOC content allow for interior applications on<br />

projects requiring high gloss, chemical and abrasion<br />

resistant finishes. The single component technology<br />

in Polyurea 1 HD and Polyurea 2 Ultra makes it very user<br />

friendly and produces unmatched performance characteristics.<br />

By using the <strong>iCOAT</strong> Diamond Coat System you are eliminating the<br />

need to densify the concrete, polish above the 120 grit resin bond<br />

level, and the need to continue polishing with numerous resin<br />

bonds from 200 all the way up to 3000 grit resin bonds.<br />
