BASIC USE
DecoArmor is an advanced alternative to traditional products that are used for interior and exterior finishes on walls, floors, counters, and other surfaces.
Each DecoArmor finish product is carefully reproduced from natural products providing exact replicas of textured articles, such as stone, brick, wood, and others. DecoArmor is an excellent substitute for traditional products and installs easily with little time and cost. DecoArmor does not typically require structural support, lift equipment or skilled labor, or a mason to install.
4. Availability & Cost:
AVAILABILITY
Available from manufacturer’s authorized distributors in select regions.
COST
Products are typically priced by the piece. Landed costs are determined by the distance from the manufacturer and quantities ordered.
5. Installation:
PREPARATORY WORK
Handle and store product according to manufacturer’s instructions. Make sure all substrate surfaces are clean and dry, free of grease, oil or dust. Ensure any existing surfaces to receive Products are securely fastened or adhered prior to installation.
METHODS
Products are easily field cut with conventional construction cutting tools, and installed with packaged or specified materials. Products lightweight nature make applications quick and easy.
COMPOSITION & MATERIALS
DecoArmor textured finishing products are applied directly over the substrate or surface. Surface may require pre-treatment of a weather resistant membrane (see DecoArmor Installation Guidelines). DecoArmor products are made from high density, self-curing polyurea with a permanently impregnated color coating that is colorfast and UV stable. Silicone rubber molds are cast from real stone, wood, metal and other decorative textures. The specially formulated color coating is applied fully across the mold surface, followed by a specially formulated high density polyurea that is sprayed across the mold surface. The polyurea is thermally bonded into the color coating to form an integral, UV stable, colorfast, and impact resistant part. The high density polyurea exhibits great impact and scratch resistance, and high tensile and shear strength. Its elastomeric closed cell properties make it water resistant, and also resistant to solvents, pests and fungi. The iron oxide-based finish coat gives the product an authentic appearance and provides great resistance to weather and practically all external elements.
LIMITATIONS
The products should not be used to structurally support other objects.
SIZES
The products come in a variety of sizes and shapes, including wall panels and corners, wall and floor tiles, trims, and details. Products come in a variety of motifs, colors, and designs. Please see manufacturer’s product catalog for additional offerings.

SURFACE PREPARATION
In general, coating performance and adhesion are directly proportional to surface preparation. Most failures in the perfor-mance of surface coatings can be attributed to poor surface preparation. Polyurea coatings rely on the structural strength of the substrate to which they are applied. All surfaces must be free of dust, dirt, oil, grease, rust, corrosion and other contaminants. When coating substrates previously used, it is important to consider the possibility of substrate absorption, which may affect the adhesion of the coating system, regardless of the surface preparation. The following information is for general reference, and for project-specific questions, contact DecoArmor.
MIXING
Thoroughly mix Themecoat® 751-FR Side-B with air driven power equipment until a homogeneous mixture and color is obtained. Themecoat® 751-FR may not be diluted under any circumstances.
APPLICATION
Both Side-A and Side-B materials should be preconditioned to 90-100°F (32.3-37.8oC) before application. Agitate at least one hour prior to application using heavy duty drum agitator. Side-B materials should be continuously agitated before and during application. Recommended surface temperature must be at least 5°F (3oC) above the dew point. Themecoat® 751-FR should be applied using a plural com-ponent, heated, high pressure 1:1 spray mixing equipment like Graco’s Reactor, Glass Craft or other equivalent machine may be used. Both Side-A and Side-B materials should be sprayed at a minimum of 2000 psi and at temperatures above 150°F (66oC). Adequate pressure and temperature should be maintained at all times. Themecoat® 751-FR should be sprayed in smooth, multi-directional passes to improve uniform thickness and appearance.
