E28 Cool Life Deck Coating | Infrared Heat Reflective Technology in 12 Colors | 100% Acrylic | Concrete Wood Masonry Metal | Chemical Resistant

Keep your feet from burning on the pool deck this summer with the E28 Cool Deck Coating. This 100% Heat Reflective Coating available in 12 colors is specially formulated to reflect infrared rays, and can reduce a colored deck’s surface temperature up to 25-30%!

Perfect for balcony decks, walking decks, pool decks, walkways, patios roofs and other walking surfaces subject to extreme heat, the E28 Cool Life also provides resistance against water, alkalis, acids, ultraviolet light and staining.

Using special infrared reflecting and heat reducing pigments, the E28 Cool Life Deck Coating provides dramatic cooling benefit in 12 different pre-tinted colors (see performance chart below).

E28 Cool Life Deck Coating is also great for sealing concrete, masonry and wood to provide resistance against water, alkalis, acids, ultra-violet light and staining.  Used for concrete  and wood floors, pool decks, patios, and Textured Concrete.  Not designed for vehicular traffic.

Available in 1 Gallon & 5 gallon containers.

Primer:   Recommend primer for unpainted surfaces, suggest our E7075 100% Acrylic Primer

Topcoat:  None required.  Recommend 2 coats E28 Cool Life Deck Coating for heavier traffic use and longer lasting applications.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE APPLICATION STEPS

Surface Preparation:

Concrete, concrete decks, floors and walk ways New concrete must age for a minimum of 30 days. Cool temperatures and high humidity may require a longer cure time.

Remove all grease, oil and wax with T. S. P. Solution. (One pound of T. S. P. to 1 gallon of water.) Scrub with stiff broom until surface is thoroughly clean. Rinse thoroughly with clear water. Power wash all concrete with 3000 lb. pressure washer, spray tip should be no further than 6” from concrete surface. A properly etched concrete surface should resemble the texture of fine or medium sandpaper. Let dry thoroughly before applying coating.

For Interior and/or Hard Troweled Cement:

MECHANICAL ETCHING METHOD: Use a grinder or bead blaster with a dust filter, or vacuum attachment, evenly over the surface. A small hand grinder may need to be used where horizontal meets vertical substrates. Rinse thoroughly using a pressure washer to remove all remaining dust and residue. A properly etched concrete surface should resemble the texture of fine or medium sandpaper. Let dry thoroughly before applying coating.

Mildew: DO NOT PAINT OVER MILDEW. Mildew is a fungus, brown, black, grey or even white in color, and will rapidly grow through any coating applied over it. A solution of 50% household bleach and 50% water will kill the mildew. Rinse thoroughly. See precautions on bleach label for handling before using.

Glossy Surfaces: Roughen gloss by sanding; then wash with a T.S.P. solution and rinse thoroughly with water.

Previously Painted Surfaces: Clean all surfaces and roughen all glossy surfaces by sanding. Clean all surfaces thoroughly with a T.S.P solution and then rinse thoroughly with water. Do not paint over loose or peeling paint.

Unpainted Surfaces: For maximum durability, prime all surfaces to be coated. Caulk all cracks and nail holes.

Wood: Clean and primer all new wood with E1575 Primer. Coat with 1-2 thin coats of E28 Series.
Metal: Clean and etch all new metal. Prime all bare metal with E1575 or E7075 primer.

Weather: Do not install any product if the temperature is below 550. Rain may damage uncured products. If inclement weather threatens, cover deck to protect new application. Do not allow any non-applied product to FREEZE.

Priming: For best results and when necessary as specified, prime surfaces with this product (28 Series) thinned with one quart of water before applying the top coat.

Application:

Box and mix all containers to insure consistent color. Neatly cut-in all edges with a brush and roll the main area using a 1/2” to 3/4” nap, good quality roller cover. Be sure to spread evenly in a “V” pattern, rolling in both directions. It is best not to apply this product in the direct sun at temperatures above 80°F. Thinning slightly with water and applying thin coats will help avoid streaks when working in direct sun. (See specifications for more application details).

Dry Time: Allow six (6) hours between coats and light foot traffic.  Allow forty-eight (48) hours before placing heavy objects on the surface. Cool temperatures and high humidity may require a longer cure time.

Maintenance:  See the E28 Maintenance Sheet in the Document Library

E28 Cool Life With INFRARED HEAT REDUCING PIGMENTS (Cooling Impact 12 Colors Available) vs Standard Pigments

Darker the color, bigger the COOLING BENEIFT using E28!

Test Procedures: This graph represents infra-red reflectivity, ASTM C 1549. The 28 Cool Life Deck Coating and a standard coating of the same color were applied evenly over a smooth substrate. Then, the infra-red reflectivity was measured with a Devices & Services Solar Spectrum Reflectometer machine. The machine measures Infra-Red Solar Reflectivity and is the same testing required by agencies such as Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC) to measure roof coatings and their reflectivity. Why the focus on infra-red? Because it is those infra-red rays generated from the Sun that create heat
