The coatings covered by this specification are oil-free and moisture-curing, clear or pigmented. They are designed for use on floors, walls machinery, equipment, and other surfaces where good abrasion resistance, color retention, gloss retention, graffiti resistance, and good resistance to acids, alkalis, solvents, strong cleaners and sanitizers, fuels, and chemicals is necessary. They are intended for application in two or more coats on concrete floors, brick and masonry surfaces (properly conditioned), metal (properly primed), and wood (properly prepared and sealed). Type I has outstanding ultra-violet resistance and is, therefore, suited for exterior application. The Type I, class A coating, however, does not perform well on oily or resinous wood (e.g. Teak or Douglas Fir), when subjected to outdoor exposure. Type II will yellow and chalk when exposed to sunlight and is therefore recommended only for interior use.

Abrasive granules or chips can be incorporated in order to provide skid resistance under wet conditions, or for a decorative effect.
