Description
ConFlex™ UltraCrete™ is the efficient, economical one-coat solution to enhancing properties and reducing maintenance. UltraCrete is available in both waterbased and solventborne formulations to meet the variety of application and regulatory needs. Designed for easy spray application, UltraCrete improves the look of tilt-up buildings with a uniform exterior appearance and long-lasting curb appeal. Tintable to a wide range of colors, you’ll get the color you need quickly and cut scheduling problems. Plus, UltraCrete’s good color retention means fewer repaints. That’s UltraCrete – ideal for many commercial or institutional masonry structures.
Material Use
(Available in Smooth, Fine, and Medium Textures: CF18W0850, CF18W0853, CF18W0800, CF18W0810)
ConFlex UltraCrete is a waterproof solvent-borne coating formulated for use on new construction surfaces such as tilt-up, precast, and poured-in-place concrete. It enhances aesthetics and provides protection for large commercial building facades. It is particularly effective where surface preparation may be suboptimal and can be applied to fresh concrete (less than 28 days old) with high pH levels (up to 13).
System Components
- Base Coats:
- Optional Primers: Loxon Concrete & Masonry Primer or Loxon Conditioner (especially for improved adhesion or pinhole prevention)
- First Coat: ConFlex UltraCrete Solvent Borne Smooth (especially in two-coat systems)
- Final Coat:
- ConFlex UltraCrete Solvent Borne Smooth or Textured (Fine or Medium)
Applications
- Suitable for use on:
- Concrete (tilt-up, poured-in-place)
- CMU (Concrete Masonry Unit)
- Stucco
- Split-face Block
- For previously coated surfaces, apply directly with either Smooth or Textured variant
Application Details
- Recommended System:
- 1 coat of Loxon Primer or Conditioner (optional)
- 1–2 coats of ConFlex UltraCrete Solvent Borne (Smooth or Textured as needed)
- Spray Application:
- Smooth: Graco TexSpray 5900HD, 3000 PSI, 0.021"–0.031" tip
- Textured: Graco HTX230, specific settings per texture grade
- Coverage:
- Smooth: 100–160 sq. ft./gal/coat
- Textured: 50–80 sq. ft./gal/coat
- Film Thickness:
- Total Dry Film Thickness (DFT) required: 10–16 mils
- Surface Preparation:
- Ensure surface is free of contamination, mildew, and previous peeling paint
- Bugholes, cracks, and voids should be filled with appropriate Concrete & Masonry Sealant or Patch
- Substrate must be cured at least 7 days (at 75°F)
Special Notes
-
Temperature & Humidity:
- Application minimum temperature: 20°F (use aromatic naphtha reduction 5–10% if below 50°F)

- At 77°F: Touch 1–2 hrs, Recoat 16 hrs
- At 20°F: Touch 4–6 hrs, Recoat 24–48 hrs (ensure tack-free before recoating)
- Pot Life: Not explicitly listed; use product within 36 months unopened
- Full Cure Time: Not specified; inferred based on environmental conditions and touch/hardness checks
- UV Resistance: Excellent resistance to ultraviolet light (UV resistant but not specifically labeled UV stable)
- VOC Content: 394 g/L (3.29 lbs/gal)
- Shelf Life: 36 months (unopened)
-
Not for Use On:
- Horizontal surfaces exposed to standing water (e.g., floors, decks, roofs)
