Devoe coatings 521 or 224HS

[G M]

I am looking at the Devran 224HS vs Devfloor 521


The 521 is 100% solids. and UV resistant. The 224HS can be top coated with 379UVA which I believe offers UV protection. I have pricing on the 224HS 379UVA combo but not the 521 so I can't compare that way but I would expect the prices to be similar.


Any opinions on which would be a better choice?

Here's a comment from another thread. I personally used the 224HS and 379UVA combo and had a good outcome.

Hi Guys,

First, if you use Pre-Prime 167 you better be careful not to let if puddle. It works great and will penetrate the concrete like our BondTite 1101 does but since it is a siloxane modified polymer it can affect intercoat adhesion. SO, what I am saying is... when you use Pre-Prime correctly... it works... if you let it puddle you might have delamination issues.

DevFloor... DON'T use these products... These products have been manufactured by several manufacturers over the years. The current one is Valspar... They are terrible!

As I've mentioned before, the Devran 224HS is a solid product... not as good as our LiquaTile 1184... but... a good product for those on a tight budget. Be careful not to apply it too thick!

Now, for the clear...
The Devthane 379UVA is the best ICI product to seal your flakes with. It has pretty good UV resistance...

Last, I'm sure you guys are wondering why I would comment in a positive way on a competitors products. Basically, there is enough business out there for everyone. We're not exactly hurting for sales. Our products will outperform these ICI products but they are going to be a little more expensive... but 100% solids...

I don't have even one good thing to say about Sherwin Williams.

I am planning on using 224/379 as well. The way I see it, if you intend to use flakes, you really need to lay the color base first, then the flakes, and then the clear topcoat. If you use 521 and use flakes, then you still have to put down a clear top coat. But if you aren't going to use flakes, then I would say 521 all the way. The other advantage of 521 appears to be that its 100% solids.
