FORTIS Coat 527 Clear is a high-performance, two-component, acrylic-modified polyurethane coating that provides a durable, non-yellowing clear gloss finish for interior and exterior applications.
Designed for concrete and timber surfaces, Coat 527 combines excellent chemical resistance, durability and fast drying performance. Its self-priming formulation makes it suitable for prepared concrete floors, commercial flooring, restaurants, cafes, warehouses, factories and decorative flake flooring systems.
Coat 527 is also suitable for timber flooring and as a protective clear finish over compatible, suitably prepared epoxy coatings, including epoxy-coated wall surfaces. Existing coatings must be checked for compatibility and adhesion before application.
Coat 527 provides a trafficable, chemical-resistant gloss finish with tyre-stain resistance subject to tyre compound and application conditions. Refer to the FORTIS Tyre Resistance Technical Bulletin for further information.
Apply 2–3 coats at approximately 5–10 m²/L per coat. Vehicle traffic may commence after approximately 72 hours, while full cure is achieved after approximately 7 days, depending on conditions.
For customers comparing clear floor coating systems, FORTIS Coat 519 offers a moisture-curing polyurethane alternative, while FORTIS Coat 526 provides a water-based polyurethane option.
Two-Component Clear Polyurethane
All surfaces must be thoroughly dry, clean and free from contaminants. Sand or mechanically grind to provide a suitable surface key. Diamond grinding is recommended for concrete. Allow new concrete to cure for at least 28 days before coating. Existing coatings must be tested for adhesion and compatibility.
Mix 4 parts A with 1 part B by volume. Thoroughly combine using a 300 rpm drill with a Jiffy mixing blade or equivalent. Mix only the quantity that can be applied within the approximately 45-minute pot life.
Apply using a quality 5 mm nap roller, brush or suitable spray equipment. For floor applications, pour mixed material directly onto the surface and spread evenly. Apply at 5–10 m²/L per coat, depending on the substrate and required film build.
Apply 2–3 coats to achieve the required coating system. Lightly sand between coats with a 150-grit mesh screen to remove surface defects.
Recoat after approximately 8–24 hours. Sanding is essential where the previous coat has cured for 24 hours or longer to promote intercoat adhesion. Allow only light foot traffic for the first 2–3 days. Vehicle traffic may commence after approximately 72 hours, subject to curing conditions. Full cure takes approximately 7 days.
Clean uncured material with acetone or xylene. Allow used rollers to cure before disposal. Do not wash or cover the coating with mats until fully cured. Maintain using a neutral cleaner.
Drying and curing times vary with temperature, humidity, ventilation and film thickness. Refer to the TDS and SDS before use.
Surface Preparation: All surfaces must be thoroughly dry, clean and appropriately keyed. New concrete must cure for at least 28 days before application. Existing coatings must be tested for adhesion and compatibility.
4 L, 20 L
No. Coat 527 is self-priming on suitably prepared surfaces. Existing coatings require compatibility and adhesion testing.
Apply 2–3 coats at approximately 5–10 m²/L per coat, depending on the substrate and required film build.
Yes, over compatible, suitably prepared epoxy coatings, including epoxy-coated walls. Adhesion testing is required before application.
Yes. Coat 527 offers tyre-stain resistance, but performance varies with tyre compounds. Refer to the FORTIS Tyre Resistance Technical Bulletin.
Yes. Its non-yellowing formulation is suitable for interior and exterior applications.
Allow approximately 72 hours before vehicle traffic. Full cure takes approximately 7 days, depending on conditions.
Mix 4 parts A to 1 part B by volume. Pot life is approximately 45 minutes.
Recoat after approximately 8–24 hours. Sand between coats after 24 hours to promote adhesion.
