6007 Wet Condition Epoxy For Concrete & Steel | Low Temp 35°F | 100% Solids

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Preparation: Concrete must have a minimum 28 day cure prior to application.  Remove any curing agent, form release materials, oils, wax, moisture or any material that may affect bonding.  *Perform a Moisture Vapor Test before making the coating application on concrete.  Clean by abrasive “brush-off” blast.  Provide rough profile minimum 2 mils.   Review ASTM D4259 Abrading Concrete and ASTM F1869 Measuring Moisture Vapor Emission.  Seal/repair all bug-holes, cracks and spalls, see ASTC data sheets on 830, 4034 and 3004 (joints). Use an ASTC primer over filled cracks and voids.

Do not apply 6007 to floors that have not been properly repaired, treated and primed or that do not have a pH of 7-8.5.   Remove all old coatings.

To apply over existing material/coating:  The existing coating must be abraded to produce a profile of a minimum of 3 mils.  The application over existing materials is only as good as the existing material that is in place.  Such materials should be well bonded and very secure to the substrate.

Improper mixing may result in product failure.

For best mixing results and proper blending of parts A and B, recommend a Jiffy Mixer style drill mixer.

Use of an improper drill mixer can result in streaking of the color because the pigment has not been thoroughly blended.  It can also create curing problems if the hardener also called activator (Part B) is not thoroughly blended with the resin (Part A) which can cause some areas on your floor to remain soft and not harden properly.  DO NOT USE A PAINT MIXER.  Many mixing problems described above can be traced back to using a paint mixer..  DO NOT HAND MIX as this approach can also result in the same problems as using a paint mixer.

****IMPORTANT NOTE AFTER MIXING:****

Once parts A&B are thoroughly mixed, immediately pour 100% of all mixed product on the floor in a ribbon pattern, S or W shape over the area you want that amount of product to cover. The risk of leaving product in the bucket is that it will become hard and reduce the working time by a minimum of 50% and may harden and start smoking in the bucket before you get back to it.

Top Coats over 6007 should be applied as soon as the 6007 has set enough to allow access to apply additional coatings.  If the 6007 has set and become cured for 8 to 12, the surface may have to be abraded to add profile for bonding of a top coat.

Refer to the cure schedule as a guideline to follow, in addition we strongly recommend  to test the coating before recoating or topcoating. This is done by pressing your thumb on the coating in multiple places to ensure a fingerprint impression is not visible. If there is no impression visible, then coating the floor can be done. Note, colder or hotter than 75 degrees can affect the curing time schedule  

Do not drain or scrape out the final product remaining in mixing pails and pour onto the floor. There can be un-mixed resin on sides and bottom of pails, which can cause uncured soft spots on floor.  Change out roller covers and mixing pails periodically on larger projects to avoid build up of curing material.  After applying 6007 by squeegee or roller if any air bubbles appear you can immediately back-roll material with a plastic or metal porcupine roller which may form from outgassing or by mixing during application.

Limitations:   Concrete;  Best results over 2 to 3 mil profile and vapor barrier as needed. Hot conditions: the product may set faster in hot conditions and slower in cold conditions.  Keep out of direct sunlight and store the product kits on wood pallets at room temperature.

Looking for an epoxy that works on wet or damp concrete? Below are the most common questions about 6007 moisture-tolerant epoxy and how to use it in real-world conditions.

What is 6007 epoxy used for?

6007 is a moisture-tolerant epoxy coating designed for application on damp or wet concrete and steel surfaces. It’s commonly used in:

• Basements with moisture issues
• Car wash bays
• Wet condition concrete
• Floors in corrosive environments
• Base coat for secondary containment coatings in damp conditions
• Garage

Can epoxy be applied to wet concrete?

Most epoxies fail on wet or damp surfaces, but 6007 is specifically formulated to:

• Bond to moisture-containing concrete
• Tolerate high humidity during application
• Reduce risk of delamination or bubbling

This makes it ideal when drying the substrate isn’t practical.

How wet can the surface be before applying 6007?

The surface can be:

• Damp to the touch (no standing water)
• Free of puddles or flowing water

For best results:

• Remove visible water
• Ensure surface is clean and structurally sound

Does 6007 epoxy prevent moisture vapor transmission (MVT)?

6007 is moisture-tolerant, but it is not a full vapor barrier system.

If you have:

• Severe hydrostatic pressure
• Extremely high MVT rates

You may need a dedicated moisture mitigation system. However, 6007 performs very well in moderate moisture conditions where traditional epoxies fail.

What surfaces can 6007 be applied to?

6007 adheres to:

• Concrete (new or existing)
• Steel
• Masonry surfaces

It’s especially useful where surfaces are:

• Difficult to dry
• Below grade
• Exposed to constant moisture

Do I need a primer before using 6007?

In many cases, 6007 can be applied directly to properly prepared surfaces.

However, a primer may be recommended if:

• The substrate is very porous
• You want improved adhesion on marginal surfaces
• You are building a multi-coat system

How do I prepare the surface before applying 6007?

Proper prep is still critical:

1. Remove dirt, grease, and contaminants
2. Mechanically profile the surface (CSP 2–3 recommended)
3. Remove standing water
4. Ensure surface is sound and not deteriorating

Even though 6007 tolerates moisture, surface prep still determines performance.

Can 6007 be used outdoors?

Yes. 6007 can be used outdoors, but keep in mind:

• Epoxies may amber or chalk under UV exposure
• A UV-stable topcoat (like polyurethane or acrylic) is recommended for long-term appearance

What industries commonly use 6007?

6007 is widely used in:

• Industrial facilities
• Municipal water/wastewater plants
• Manufacturing plants
• Warehouses
• Food processing environments
• Commercial maintenance applications

What are the biggest advantages of 6007 over standard epoxy?

• Works on damp or wet surfaces
• Reduces risk of adhesion failure
• Saves time (less drying required)
• Ideal for problem jobs other epoxies can’t handle

When should I NOT use 6007?

6007 may not be ideal if:

• You need a decorative, UV-stable finish
• There is standing water or active leaks
• The concrete is structurally failing

In those cases, additional system components may be needed.

How long does 6007 epoxy last?

When properly applied, 6007 provides:

• Long-term adhesion in challenging environments
• Durable chemical and moisture resistance

Actual lifespan depends on:

• Surface prep
• Environment
• Traffic and exposure conditions
