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 effect bonding. Clean and wash to remove contaminants and maintain pH 8.0-11.0. *Perform a Moisture Vapor Test before making the coating application on concrete. 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 Madison data sheets on 820, 4010 and 3020 (joints). Wood, Fiberglass: Water-blast and dry.
Mixing and Application:
Optimus 5100 is fully formulated and ready for use, however it is necessary to remove any skin that may have formed on the surface of opened containers and thoroughly mix all containers prior to use. Adequate mixing is required to achieve a uniform and consistent coating.
Product temperature should be 59-90°F during application onto substrates that are free of loose particles, oil, grease, dirt, paint, etc. 5100 can be used to achieve both water permeable and impermeable coatings. Application thickness should be between 5 – 10 mils wet with two coats applied in opposite spray directions after 30 minutes of dry time for the first coat to achieve the most desirable coating. Thicker coats will require more time to dry and achieve optimum film properties. Similarly, lower temperatures and higher humidity conditions will increase dry time of each coat. Time between spray coats should not exceed 24 hours. Freshly applied coatings should not be exposed to water for at least 2 hours so do not apply if rain is in the forecast. Allow coating to cure for at least 24 hours prior to being placed into full service. Some moderate use can be achieved after 4 hours.
Safety: Read MSDS before using this product or any polymer product.

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. Clean and wash to remove contaminants and maintain pH 8.0-11.0. **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 Madison data sheets on 820, 4010.
Note: High Tensile, very hard concrete with small aggregate is difficult to grind. It is important to observe the result (appearance) of grinding this type of concrete. It may be necessary to grind this type of concrete with a rougher dry diamond blade(s) to assure a good profile.
When coating this type of concrete with the 5200 and added pigment, add additional Xylene to the mixed 5200/pigment. It is suggested that about 12-14 ounces of Xylene be added to the mix for a gallon (only for high tensile concrete). Check the penetration of the 5200/pigment to assure that the product is getting a “bite’ to the hardened or high tensile type of concrete.
Test The Hardness Of Concrete: The following hardness tester is available at a reasonable cost; HT 225A Concrete Compression Test Hammer/Concrete Hardness Tester (Schmidt equivalent) The low cost HT225A Concrete Compression Test Hammer/Concrete Hardness Tester (Schmidt equivalent) is designed specifically for the non-destructive testing of concrete structures. Conforms to ISO, ASTM, BS, EN, DIN, NFP, UNI
Colors: Tan, Wheat/Straw, Pearl Gray, Mist Gray, Medium Gray, and Black. White is also available for adding to the above colors as desired.
Application: Application range; 45°F to 90°F. Apply the product using a notched squeegee or similar squeegee to move the product over the application area. *Hot surfaces may accelerate gel time of the product. *High Humidity will accelerate the gel time of the product. Product should be back-rolled using a short nap roller, about ¼” to 3/8”. **Apply in thin films from 5,8 or 10 mils per coat. Do not apply thicker than 10-12 mils at one time. Recoat Time; apply a second coat as soon as the first coat can be walked on, 1 to 2 hours. If recoat window is exceeded, sand lightly to produce a profile, wipe with acetone and re-coat.
Curing Time:
Approximately 1.5 to four hours for low foot traffic volume. Cure 5 to 8 hours for heavier foot traffic. Test surface cure to be sure surface is ready for vehicles before allowing access. Cure is affected by high humidity.
EX Set 5200 version may take a little longer to set in very dry or low humidity conditions and may require one or two days before vehicle traffic may have access to the coated area.
Cold Temperatures: When environmental conditions are cool or cold and the ambient temperature is about 50 degrees F, the 5200 EX cure will slow down. Although the polyurea product does slow, it will continue to cure but will take longer to develop it’s hardness. For applications in reduced temperatures starting at around 50F use the 5200 Fast Set. The 5200 Fast Set cure will not slow down as much as the 5200 EX product and the Fast Set will develop physical properties, hardness, etc. sooner than the EX will in cold conditions.

Priming: 5200 is self-priming.
Moisture Vapor Reduction: Use Madison’s CMW to reduce moisture vapor drive. Efflorescence or white powder-like material visible on the concrete slab indicates moisture vapor drive. See CMW data for efflorescence treatment.
Mixing:
Use a jiffy mixer and 650 rpm drill motor to mix product. Mix at slow speed adding part B into part A *while mixing. Do not change the proportions. Mix completely for approximately one to two minutes. Avoid mixing air into the blend. Mix at 1:1 ratio in a separate clean pail, pour out on surface, squeegee and back- roll. Fast set product:
Do not let the mixed product remain in the mixing container. Stick/hand mixing not recommended.
Adding Pigment:
Use 10 to 12 ounces for the pigment provided by Madison. Example; ½ gallon A and ½ gallon B = one mixed gallon – add 10-12 ounces per mixed gallon of product. If using white add 12 to 14 ounces. Do not use other pigments as they are not formulated with the proper base materials that are compatible with the 5200.
Do not overload the 5200 with pigment, use the minimum amount of pigment for the desired effect.
Important: When adding pigment to the mix of 5200 as a base coat is it helpful to add about 4 ounces of Xylene per mixed gallon of product and pigment mix. The addition of the solvent helps with dispersion of the pigment and with penetration into the substrate.
Limitations:
Note: The product is resistant to most tires, however, there are some tires that may stain the coating. Not all tires and their characteristics can be tested for staining.
If moisture vapor drive is evident or efflorescence is visible use a vapor barrier CMW. Use compatible surface repair products with 5200. Pot life is effected by environmental temperatures and humidity. Do not use on wet surfaces or expose part A to moisture. Keep out of direct sunlight and store the product kits on wood pallets at room temperature. Use a Nitrogen blanket over unused product for proper storage and protection from humidity.
This product is for use by professional applicators only. Wear Protective Clothing and gloves as the product bonds very well to fabrics. Read MSDS before using this product.

1. Substrate Preparation & Testing
Standard Concrete: Must cure for 28 days or more. Clean, wash (maintain pH 8.0–11.0), remove all contaminants, and profile to a minimum of 2 mils. Perform a Moisture Vapor Test. If efflorescence (white powder) or vapor drive is present, treat with CMW vapor barrier first.
High-Tensile Concrete: Hard concrete with small aggregate is difficult to grind. Use a rough, dry diamond blade to force a good profile.
2. Mixing & Pigmenting
Ratio & Setup: Mix at a strict 1:1 ratio by volume in a separate clean pail. Use a Jiffy mixer attached to a 650 rpm drill motor.
Method: Mix slowly for 1 to 2 minutes, pouring Part B into Part A while mixing. Avoid whipping air into the blend. Do not stick/hand mix.
Adding Pigment & Solvent: Mix in 10 to 12 ounces of approved Madison pigment per mixed gallon (12 to 14 ounces for White). For base coats or high-tensile concrete, add 4 ounces of Xylene per mixed gallon to assist with penetration and pigment dispersion.
3. Application Process
Open Window: Pot life is 25 minutes or more at 70°F. Once mixed, immediately pour the product directly onto the floor surface—do not let it sit in the mixing container.
Execution: Spread the material evenly using a notched squeegee across an application range of 45°F to 90°F. Note that high heat or high humidity will accelerate gel times.
Back-Rolling: Back-roll the liquid instantly using a short nap roller (1/4 inch to 3/8 inch nap) to a thin film of 5, 8, or 10 mils. Do not apply thicker than 10–12 mils at one time.
4. Curing & Recoating
Recoat Window: Apply the second coat as soon as the first coat can be walked on (typically 1 to 2 hours). If this window is exceeded, sand lightly to create a profile, wipe down with acetone, and re-coat.
Traffic Access: Low foot traffic is safe after 1.5 to 4 hours; heavy foot traffic after 5 to 8 hours.
Vehicle Access: Allow 1 to 2 days before opening to vehicle traffic. In cool conditions (around 50°F) or ultra-low humidity, the 5200 EX cure speed will slow down significantly.
5. Storage Note
Unused Product: Seal opened, unused containers under a Nitrogen blanket to protect the raw material from ambient humidity.
