CPD Chlorinated Rubber

[encoad]

Hi Guys,

I just built my dream garage, 1500sqft, radiant floors, 14' ceilings. The concrete company messed up the floor twice. The first time they sloped the floor away from the drain, so they cut up the floor and re-poured the top 3" (of 6") of about 500sqft. The second time, water still pooled, but they were able grind the floor and cut the trough drain so it works ok now.

Now I have the original pour, the new pour and the ground area and it looks ugly.

They want to supply and install CPD Chlorinated Rubber on the floor. I figure they'll need two pails at about $385/pail. They say that they use on it many many floors.

I don't want a paint that will come up easily, especially with very hot motorcycle tires, oil, gas or diesel drips.

Any comments on this kind of product? If this is a bad choice, what should I get?

Thanks,
Nicholas

The company screwed up twice. I think I would have fired them by now.

Check out the limitations on the manufacturers spec sheet.

Uncle_Charlie,

I'm giving them an opportunity to fix their mistake. They are in fact a large reputable company in my city, one of the bigger ones. They have good employees, they just sent some flunkies to my house. The alternative is to pay someone to do my floor, then go after them for the cost. The debate at that point will be if I used a too expensive product etc... and a judge will decide.

GarageFlooringLLC,

I see it says " designed as an initial curing and sealing treatment only; not as a long lasting traffic bearing coating". But I'm not sure if that means never drive on it, or don't do a highway with it...

Thanks,
Nicholas

As litigious as this world has become, I am always hesitant to comment on a product we don't sell and absolutely one I am not familiar with. If I were a consumer and I were looking at the manufacturers specs I would want more information n their statements about yellowing and their statements about traffic.

Well I just called the manufacturer for more information, and apparently they no longer offer this product anymore for environmental reasons.

So I'm back to square one.

I would look at a high build epoxy system. The whole surface will need to be ground. Apply a primer, high solids epoxy and top coat -- what kind of top coat depends on where you are located.

For example you could use TL015 primer, TL707LVP (high solids) or TL707 100% solids and depending on your area a good aliphatic top coat -- will vary by VOC regs.

In this case a high build floor is going to be important. You are going to need enough of a build to hide any imperfections.

Pics of floor?

Hi All,

Here's the pics of what I've got right now. The darker floor was poured with 2% calcium carbonate. The lighter floor is standard 25mpa concrete that's been ground in some places.

Thanks,
Nicholas
