PFX-100 Flexible Roof Coating  
PFX-100 is a flexible two-part epoxy designed to protect a variety of surfaces including rubber, concrete, foam, plywood, and metal. PFX-100 in conjunction with Polylace or Fiberglass fabric is also suitable for coating petroleum-based surfaces such as tar or rubber cement. It is especially suited to applications where surface movement may defeat the protection of a rigid coating.
Application Areas
PFX-100 is excellent for waterproofing EPDM, built-up, single ply, foam, and metal roofs. It is also suitable for walkways, walls, sumps, and parking garages. The flexibility retained by PFX-100 allows for surface movement caused by thermal shock to most structures.
Preparation
Surfaces must be cleaned free of grease, oil, films, dust, or any other contaminants. Most roof surfaces should be pressure washed to remove any barrier films. Metal must be free of mill scale, oils, rust, etc. Hard-finished concrete should be etched to provide profile or "tooth" for optimal adhesion. These preparation procedures are in general guidelines. Consult PFX Approved Applicators & Technicians for further details or special preparation procedures. Roofing specifications are also available for various substrates.
Mixing
The mixing of parts A & B is very important! PFX-100 has a mixing ratio of 4 parts "B" to 1 part "A". Use a power mixer to thoroughly combine both parts. Mix for at least 1 minutes per gallon. Allow idle activation time for at least 30 minutes. Lacquer thinner should only be added after the mixing process is complete.
Application
PFX-100 can be applied by air-less spray equipment, brush, or roller at approximately 100-sq. ft. per gallon per coat. A two-coat application is recommended to help insure complete protection. Surfaces subject to significant movement or other difficult conditions may require heavier applications and the use of Fiberglass Mesh. All penetrations or transitions of surface materials should be covered with the Fiberglass Mesh . Surface configuration, weather, or area surroundings may dictate application method.
Dry Film Application Rate
To yield dry film of:Apply sq. ft. gallon
12 mls.100 sq. ft.
6 mls.200 sq. ft.
DO NOT apply heavier than 10 mils per coat. If more is needed, apply in multiple coats. Allow PFX-100 to become tack-free before applying additional coats or approximately 6 hrs. at 80ºF.
Application Recommendations
Metal surfaces:1 gal. / 100 sq. ft.
Foam or build-up roofing:1.5 gal. / 100 sq. ft.
Build-up roof after removal of gravel:3 gal. / 100 sq. ft.
Concrete:1.5 gal. / 100 sq. ft.
 
Thinning
Lacquer thinning is recommended for best results. Do not exceed more than 2 quart per 5 gallon. Thinning retards cure time and extends pot life.
General
PFX-100 should be applied in well ventilated areas. Surfaces should be free of foreign matter. DO NOT apply near open flame.
Clean Up
Application equipment should be cleaned immediately with lacquer thinner. Use Apple Cider Vinegar to clean hands and skin. Do not allow coating to remain on tools! Once it sets and is cured, it is difficult to remove.
Flammability
Flammable during application. ALWAYS  HAVE  A  FIRE  EXTINGUISHER  ON  SITE  FOR   SAFETY.  Will not support combustion when cured.

PFX-200 Petroleum - Marine Protective Coatings
     
PFX-200 is tough and flexible protective coating.  It is a 60% solids Polyamide especially designed for use in oilfield tanks or other vessels where chemical resistance is required.
Resistance
PFX-200 is highly resistant to acids, solvents, caustics, hydrocarbons, saltwater, and freshwater. It was developed to withstand extreme corrosive and abrasive conditions with excellent outdoor durability.
Application Areas
PFX-200 is excellent as an anti-corrosive protective lining for floors, interior and exterior of tanks, pipe lines, boat bottoms, swimming pools, aquariums, vats, etc. It retains a resilient body, even after final cure. Can be used under constant spillage, immersion conditions, or highly abrasive applications.  It also works well as a brushing type adhesive.
Preparation
Surfaces should be free of rust, mill scale, oil, paint, films, grease, soluble salts, and other contaminants. Sand blasting to white metal is necessary in most cases. Concrete should be etched to provide a profile for optimal adhesion. Latinate and other loosely bound materials should be removed to provide a solid bonding surface. The preparation procedures above are general guidelines. 
Mixing
The mixing of parts A & B is very important! Material is supplied in two containers as a unit. Always mix a complete unit in the proportion supplied. Agitate each part separately before combining the two. PFX-200 has a mixing ratio of 1 to 1. 1 part “B” to 1 part “A” (1:1).  Use a jiffy mixer to thoroughly combine both parts and mix for 2 minutes. Use Lacquer Thinner to thin PFX-200. Add no more than one quart of solvent per gallon of epoxy. In addition to a thinner product, it also creates a longer pot life and easier workability.
Application
Apply PFX-200 with a brush, 1/4" or 3/8” nap roller cover, or conventional spray equipment.  Airless spray equipment is preferred.  Caution! Without the use of aggregate, PFX-200 may be slippery when wet.
Dry Film Application Rate
To yield dry film of:Apply sq. ft. gallon
8 mls.200 sq. ft.
16 mls.100 sq. ft.
Heavy coats may be applied (up to 20 mils) without danger of bubbling or pinholes in film. Several coats may be necessary in building up a heavy tank lining. Do not apply heavier than 20 mils per coat or sagging will occur. For heavier film, apply additional coats. Additional coats must be applied as soon as the surface is tack free or within 36 hours.
Clean Up
Application equipment should be cleaned immediately with Lacquer Thinner. Use Apple Cider Vinegar to clean hands and skin. Do not allow PFX-200 to remain on tools!  Once it sets and is cured, it is extremely difficult to remove.

PFX-300 Floor - Pool & Basement Coating   
PFX-300 is a 75% solids epoxy resin polyamide coating. It was especially designed and developed to withstand extreme conditions that will quickly destroy conventional type protective paint coatings.
Typical Uses
PFX-300 is designed for adhering to almost any clean surface, including aluminum, wood, metals of all types, plastic, brick, glass, concrete, and masonry. PFX-300 has excellent anti-corrosion qualities and sward hardness. Recommended as an interior or exterior coating. PFX-300 WILL NOT stick to Teflon, high-plasticized vinyl’s, polyethylene, and silicone rubber.
Preparation
Surfaces should be free of rust, mill scale, paint, algae, grease, oil, or any other film forming foreign material.  Optimum performance and adhesion is obtained if the surface is dry and a profile is created. Detailed preparation methods are available through PermaFlex approved Training and Application Courses.
Mixing
The mixing of parts A & B is very important! Material is supplied in two containers as a unit.  Always mix a complete unit in the proportion supplied. Agitate each part separately before combining the two. PFX-300 has a mixing ratio of 3 parts “B” to 1 part “A” (3:1). Use a jiffy mixer to thoroughly combine both parts.  Mix for at least 6 minutes and allow a 1/2 hour idle activation time before applying or adding thinner. This will also allow any air bubbles to escape before application. Longer idle activation times (not to exceed ½ the pot life) will produce quicker dry times.
Thinning
Thinning is generally not necessary when applying PFX-300.  Use as supplied if possible.  If thinning is necessary, especially if spraying, thin no more than 2 quarts per gallon with Lacquer Thinner.  Addition of thinner creates a longer pot life and increases possibility of sag.
Application
Apply PFX-300 with brush, roller, or airless sprayer. Apply at the rate of 1 gallon per 100 square feet in order to achieve 12 mils dried. Keep air pressure on spray equipment as low as possible to minimize fogging. Vertical surfaces may require multiple coats to avoid sag.
Dry Film Application Rate
To yield dry film of:Apply sq. ft. gallon
3 mls.400 sq. ft.
6 mls.200 sq. ft.
12 mls.100 sq. ft.
 
                     
General
PFX-300 should be applied in well-ventilated areas. Surfaces should be free of foreign matter. DO NOT apply near open flame.
Clean Up
