PRODUCT DATA SHEET

PM-DBS

Decorative Seamless Flooring


PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Economical PolyMax DBS is a very durable and decorative epoxy flooring system comprised of a water white clear, moisture tolerant, multi-purpose epoxy and various quartz aggregates. Designed to be extremely versatile, the surface finish can range from very aggressive and slip resistant, to nearly glass smooth. This top quality epoxy formulation exhibits very good chemical resistance, excellent abrasion and impact resistance and superior color stability.

Adjustable curing rates allow PM-DBS to be installed under most environmental conditions. Fast cure hardeners can return the floor to service in under 24 hours. It is the perfect choice when economy, durability and aesthetics are desired.

TYPICAL USE

Use PM-DBS in virtually any commercial and institutional applications and many industrial areas where a decorative, slip resistant, seamless floor is needed. It will withstand the rigors of all but the heaviest industrial traffic and chemical exposure. It is commonly found in automotive show rooms, food service areas, surgical prep areas, laboratories, rest rooms, correctional facilities, wet process areas, and showers and locker areas.

LIMITATIONS

Avoid on or below grade applications where water vapor transmission is greater than 5 lbs./1000 sq. ft. per 24 hrs. or where ambient operating temperatures exceed 150 F.

Substrate must be relatively smooth, sound, dry and free of surface contamination. Ambient air temperature must be at least 40 F and 3 F above dew point during application. Not intended for exterior applications.

PACKAGING

Standard packaging for liquid portion is 5 gallon pails. Standard packaging for colored quartz aggregate is 50# bags. Special orders for unitized, larger or smaller packaging size is available by special order.

STORAGE

Store in a dry area at temperatures between 50 F and 90 F. Protect product from freezing and excessive heat. Minimum shelf life is one year from date of manufacture when properly stored.

THICKNESS

Normal thickness is a nominal 3/32". Additional thickness may be specified for additional wear and impact resistance.
