AMERCOAT® 114 A
(Formerly Nu-Klad 114A; Also branded as Megaseal CF)
Concrete
• Cure concrete a minimum of 14 days and until 80 percent of its physical properties have been attained before applying
this product

Concrete block
• Walls must be laid plumb and square with flush joints. Do not rake joints
• All surfaces must be clean and dry as per ASTM D4261

Substrate temperature
• Surface temperature during application should be between 50°F (10°C) and 120°F (49°C)
• Substrate temperature during application should be at least 5°F (3°C) above dew point
• Ambient temperature during application and curing should be between 50°F (10°C) and 120°F (49°C)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Mixing ratio by volume: base to hardener 65:35
• Pre-mix pigmented components with a pneumatic air mixer at moderate speeds to homogenize the container. Add
hardener to base and agitate with a power mixer for 1–2 minutes until completely dispersed
• Scrape sides and bottom occasionally to ensure all contents are incorporated. Mix only full kits

Induction time
None

AMERCOAT® 114 A
(Formerly Nu-Klad 114A; Also branded as Megaseal CF)

Application
• Amercoat 114A can be applied via short nap roller, trowel, putty knives, squeegee, or a combination of these methods.
Spread 114A across the surface applying uniform pressure to achive a smooth finish. Leave only a slight film above the
surface plane.
• A rounded trowel can be used to form a cove based of up to 1 inch.
• Amercoat 114A may be used to fill surface voids up to 1" in width or depth.
• Amercoat 114A is not elastomeric and will not bridge dynamic cracks.
• Area should be sheltered from airborne particulates and pollutants
• Avoid combustion gases or other sources of carbon dioxide that may promote amine blush and ambering of light colors
• Ensure good ventilation during application and curing
• Bulletin #1489 for further information on prevention, detection, and removal of amine blush

Material temperature
Material temperature during application should be between 50°F (10°C) and 90°F (32°C)

Cleaning solvent
Amercoat 12 Cleaner (Thinner 90-58) or Amercoat 65 Thinner (Thinner 21-06)

ADDITIONAL DATA

Overcoating interval for DFT up to 5.0 mils (125 µm)

Overcoating with... Interval 50°F (10°C) 70°F (21°C) 90°F (32°C)

solvent-borne coatings Minimum 36 hours 18 hours 9 hours

Maximum 30 days 7 days 3 days
solvent-free epoxies Minimum 6 hours 3 hours 1 hour
Maximum 6 days 3 days 36 hours

Notes:
- Dry times are dependent on air and surface temperatures as well as film thickness, ventilation, and relative humidity. Maximum
recoating time is highly dependent upon actual surface temperatures – not simply air temperatures. Surface temperatures should be
monitored, especially with sun-exposed or otherwise heated surfaces. Higher surface temperatures shorten the maximum recoat
window
- Surface must be clean and dry. Any contamination must be identified and removed. Particular attention must be paid to surfaces
exposed to sunlight where chalking may be present. In those situations, a further degree of cleaning may be required. PPG Technical
Service can advise on suitable cleaning methods. If maximum recoat/topcoat time is exceeded, then roughen surface

Curing time for DFT up to 5.0 mils (125 µm )

Substrate temperature Dry to handle

50°F (10°C) 36 hours

70°F (21°C) 18 hours
90°F (32°C) 9 hours

Note: Drying times are dependent on air and steel temperature, applied film thickness, ventilation and other environmental
conditions
