COOL LIFE® 28 SERIES | Heat Reflective Coating Concrete Color Seal
Industry Leading Heat Reflective Coatings
Overview: Reduce the surface temperature of your concrete pool slab or deck up to 25-30%! Save on your feet and your pets paws from burning around a pool deck year round (and impress your neighbors). Life Deck Specialty Coatings “28 Series” Heat Reflective Coating is a premium, quick drying, 100% acrylic concrete & masonry pigmented paint sealer formulated to reflect infrared rays (IRR Coating) and for sealing concrete and masonry to provide resistance against water, alkalis, acids, ultraviolet light and staining. Used as a great paint coating for concrete floors, pool decks, patios, and Life Deck waterproofing systems such as AL, AL Flex, FM, MC, and our concrete resurfacing systems.
Uses: The Cool Life IR heat reflective color seal is perfect for balcony decks, walking decks, pool decks, walkways, patios, roofs and other areas that experience extreme heat. 28 series will reduce the temperature up to 20-30% and can be tinted to thousands of different color variations. While Life Deck heat reflective deck coating has been used on many MGM and Caesars pool deck properties, it is also commonly found on large commercial roof decks, HOA’s, apartment complexes, condos, multifamily living, NASCAR speedway, Hyatt properties, Hilton properties and more.
- RESOURCES
- For maximum durability, the surface must be clean and free of dirt, oil, chalk, and other foreign matter. New concrete must age for a minimum of 30 days (4 inches thick). Cool temperatures and high humidity may require a longer cure time. Remove all grease, oil and wax with T.S.P solution. (One pound of T.S.P to 1 gallon of water.)
- Scrub with stiff broom until surface is thoroughly clean. Rinse thoroughly with clear water. Then etch all unpainted cement with 1 part 10% muriatic acid to 1 part water. Allow to stand 10-15 minutes and then rinse clean with water. After etching, neutralize acid with baking soda or soda ash then rinse thoroughly with water.
- A properly etched concrete surface should resemble the texture of medium sandpaper. Let dry thoroughly before applying coating.
- Box and mix all containers to insure consistent color.
- Neatly cut-in all edges with a brush and roll the main area using a 1/2” nap, good quality roller cover.
- Be sure to spread evenly in a “V” pattern, rolling in both directions. It is best not to apply in the direct hot sun or above 90 degrees.
- To avoid streaking, thin slightly with water and apply two coats.
The Cool Life 28 Series may be used as its own primer. To use as a primer, add 1 pin of water to 1 gallon of 28 Series.
Yes, the Cool Life 28 Series can be used over a previously painted surface. To do so, clean all surfaces thoroughly. Remove all peeling, loose or blistered paint by scraping and wire brushing. Remove all chlorinated rubber and hydrocarbon finishes by sandblasting. Clean all surfaces thoroughly with a T.S.P solution and then rinse thoroughly with water.
- First, roughen gloss by sanding; then wash with a T.S.P. solution and rinse thoroughly.
Most stains will clean-up with T.S.P. a brush, and water. We recommend a re-coat every 3-5 years, depending on traffic and weather exposure.
Life Deck Specialty Coatings Heat Reflective Paint Test Outcome:
This graph represents surface temperatures of the standard colors in an IRR life deck paint coating vs surface temperatures of the same colors in a non-IRR coating. The color in a non-IRR coating and the same color in the 28 series were applied to a cementitious substrate board and allowed to cure. Then, the board was place beneath an infrared bulb for 2 hours. The surface temperature of the colors were measured at 0 min, 3 min, 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 20 min, and 2 hours. The graph represents the difference at the 2 hour mark.
Do not install any Life Deck product if the temperature is below 55 degrees or in extreme heat. Rain may damage uncured Life Deck products. If inclement weather threatens, cover deck to protect new application. Do not allow any Life Deck specialty coatings product to FREEZE before application.
