Euclid DuralKote Top NCDOT is a 100% solids, high-build epoxy coating in a 4 gallon case for concrete, masonry, and steel on bridges, highway structures, floors, and walls. Because it meets North Carolina DOT requirements, it is ready for NCDOT bridge and highway projects.
Euclid DuralKote Top NCDOT is a two-component, 100% solids, high-build epoxy protective coating supplied in a 4 gallon (15.1 L) case. It is used as a waterproofing and chemical-resistant coating for concrete, masonry, steel, and other construction materials, on interior and exterior floors and walls, and on bridge pedestals, piers, abutments, and highway dividers. The light gray coating protects against abrasion, impact, and mild chemical attack, and it meets North Carolina, New York State, and New Jersey DOT requirements.

What application temperatures and conditions does DuralKote Top NCDOT need?
Surface and ambient temperatures should be between 50 and 90°F (10 to 32°C), and material temperature should be at least 50°F (10°C) and rising. Euclid says not to apply the coating when the surface temperature is within 5°F (3°C) of the dew point, and working and cure times shorten as temperatures rise and lengthen as they fall.
What coverage should a crew plan for with this high-build epoxy coating?
As a protective coating, Euclid calls for two coats of DuralKote Top NCDOT at approximately 100 ft²/gal (2.45 m²/L), or 15 mils per coat, on smooth surfaces. The application range is 10 to 15 wet mils (100 to 150 ft²/gal), and actual coverage depends on temperature, texture, and substrate porosity.
What recoat window applies between coats of DuralKote Top NCDOT?
At 75°F (24°C), the first coat should cure a minimum of 5 to 6 hours and no longer than 24 hours before the second coat goes on. If more than 24 hours pass, the previous coat should be sanded and wiped clean before recoating. Initial cure, tack free to the touch, is 3 to 6 hours, and pot life is 45 minutes.
What substrate conditions does concrete need before DuralKote Top NCDOT goes down?
New concrete and masonry must be at least 28 days old, with laitance removed and the surface profiled to CSP 2-3 per ICRI 310.2R and cleaned of dust and contaminants. Euclid recommends pull-off strength of at least 250 psi (1.7 MPa) under ASTM C1583 and moisture testing under ASTM D4263, and the coating should not be used on slabs on grade without an uninterrupted vapor barrier or where there is hydrostatic pressure.
What DOT requirements does DuralKote Top NCDOT meet?
Euclid states that the coating meets the requirements for North Carolina DOT, New York State DOT, and New Jersey DOT. Euclid also names high-build waterproofing of bridge pedestals, piers, abutments, and highway dividers as a primary application.
What shelf life and storage conditions apply to the 4 gallon case?
DuralKote Top NCDOT has a shelf life of 2 years in original, unopened containers. Store the 4 gallon (15.1 L) case indoors, protected from moisture, at 50 to 90°F (10 to 32°C). Tools and equipment clean up with acetone, xylene, or MEK while the epoxy is still wet.
