- Unique, high-solids, high-build, multifunctional coating
- Low VOC
- High-gloss, self-priming coating
- Excellent gloss retention
- Direct to metal and concrete in selected environments
- Outstanding abrasion, reverse and direct impact resistance
- Good chemical and stain resistance
- Tough and flexible coating
AU-73 displays high gloss and excellent color and gloss
retention during extended service periods. The direct-to-metal capabilities of AU-73 provide a
one-coat system at reduced installation cost for use in protected environments. Compatible over
prepared, smooth cold-rolled steel and abrasive blasted hot-rolled steel.
AU-73 has excellent adhesion to concrete providing a durable, glossy, easy-to-clean flooring
system. May be used over ES-83 as a durable, weather-resistant topcoat for extra heavy duty
service; over intact, old paint as a maintenance product.
AU-73 curing time may be adjusted with Accelerator for convenient application at low temperatures
or when faster cure is required. A full color range is available.
