The inherent properties of acrylics protect areas such as walkways or balconies with no
occupied areas beneath from water and chloride penetration. In addition to concrete sub
strates, acrylics are used over wood or metal substrates, provided that recommended primers
are installed. Acrylics are also used at slabongrade areas where urethane coatings are not
recommended.
Sand added in acrylic deck coatings provides excellent antislip finishes. As such, they are used
around pools or areas subject to wet conditions that require protection against slips and falls. Search

Urethanes ► 2012 (304)
Urethane deck coatings are frequently used for exterior deck waterproofing. These are
available for both pedestrian and vehicular areas in a variety of colors and finishes. Urethane
systems include aromatic, aliphatic, and epoxymodified derivatives and formulations.
Aliphatic materials have up to three times the tensile strength of aromatics but only 50
percent of aromatic elongation capability. Many manufacturers use combinations of these two
materials for their deckcoating systems. Aromatic materials are installed as base coats for
better movement and recovery capabilities; aliphatic urethane top coats make for better
weathering, impact resistance, and ultraviolet resistance.
Epoxy urethane systems are also used as top coat materials. These modified urethane
systems provide additional weathering and wear, while still maintaining necessary
waterproofing capabilities.
Urethane coatings are applied in two or more coats, depending upon the expected traffic
wear. Aggregate is added in the final coating for a nonslip wearing surface. An installation
advantage with urethane systems is their selfflashing capability. Liquidapplied coatings by
brush application are turned up adjoining areas at walltofloor junctions, piping penetrations,
and equipment supports and into drains.
Urethane coatings are manufactured in selfleveling formulations for applications control of
millage on horizontal surfaces. Nonflow or detailing grades are available for vertical or sloped
areas. The uncured selfleveling coating is applied by notched squeegees to control thickness
on horizontal areas. At sloped areas, such as the up and down ramps of parking garages or
vertical risers of stairways, nonflow material application ensures proper millage. If selfleveling
grade is used in these situations, material will flow downward and insufficient millage at upper
areas of the vertical or sloped portions will occur.
Nonflow liquid material is used to detail cracks in concrete decks before deckcoating
application. Cracks wider than 1 /16 in, which is the maximum width that urethane
materials bridge without failure, are sawn out and sealed with a urethane sealant. This area
is then detailed 4 in wide with nonflow coating.
In addition, urethane coatings are compatible with urethane sealants used for cants between
vertical and horizontal junctions, providing a smooth transition in these and other changes of
plane. This is similar to using wood cants for roof perimeter details (see Table 3.19).
