MIXING
Raeco R-50 is mixed by adding R-50 latex at a rate of approximately 1 gallon (3.79 liters) of latex for each 50 lb. bag of dry powder.
More or less latex may be added to obtain the desired consistency, but do not exceed 2 gallons (7.58 liters) of latex for each 50 lb.
bag of R-50. The latex should be added to the mixing container first, then the R-50 powder, followed by the appropriate aggregate
(when used).
Using a mixing paddle (a whip type is recommended) with a low speed drill (400 to 500 rpm), mix thoroughly (2 to 3 minutes) until
the powder has been completely dispersed and the mix has acquired a smooth homogeneous texture.Do not add more latex binder
once R-50 has started setting up.The pot life of the mix averages about 30 minutes and working time 30 to 45 minutes, depending
on the temperature. It is recommended to mix only the amount of R-50 that can be applied within that amount of time.
APPLICATION
Apply the Raeco R-50 mixture with a trowel or straight edge, trowel to desired texture, on the prepared surface. Should a broom
finish be desired, do so after placement. Do not add or spray latex onto the surface for finishing, it may cause the surface to spall.
Rough spots or trowel marks may be sanded off the surface, using a medium to fine grit sandpaper after R-50 has setup. Sanding
should be accomplished no later than 24 hours after application. Allow an adequate curing time before applying a sealer, by using
the R-50 latex or a water based concrete sealer (surface or penetrating).When R-50 is going to be a wearing surface, a sealer or coat-
ing is recommended.
When R-50 is to be applied on surfaces other than concrete (i.e., wood, metal, terrazzo, gypsum underlayments, etc.), consult Raeco’s
Technical Service Department for recommended preparation, bonding, and application procedures.
LIMITATIONS
Raeco R-50 should only be applied over substrates that are between 40
° and 90° F.(4.4° and 32.2° C.) Do not apply in the rain,and
do not allow to freeze before curing has taken place. When applying R-50 to thickness greater than 1/2” (12.7 mm), bulk the mix
with the appropriate type and amount of aggregate (refer to Coverage section of Data Sheet).
