Decorative Textured Concrete Overlay Mix - Durável TSO™

Durável TSO is a heavy-duty decorative concrete overlay designed to resurface and beautify both new and existing concrete. This self-bonding, single-component bag mix is made with white Portland limestone cement and requires only the addition of water. It can also be integrally colored in the field using Durável Overlay Color Packs.

TSO is easy to mix and apply with conventional concrete tools, including squeegees, trowels, and hopper guns. Contractors can use it to create a variety of decorative, textured, and slip-resistant finishes for residential and commercial concrete surfaces.

Durável TSO can be sprayed with a conventional hopper gun to create pebble, bubble, and other textured finishes. It can also be applied with a trowel to produce a knockdown texture or hand-troweled to replicate the appearance of natural stone, slate, wood, and other decorative surfaces. Secondary color can be added with Durável In-Fluence™ water-based concrete stain to create greater depth, variation, and visual detail.

Using advanced single-component technology, TSO combines high compressive, flexural, and tensile strength with excellent adhesion, durability, and ease of application. It is suitable for residential and commercial surfaces, including areas exposed to light vehicular traffic.

Durável TSO is available in warm-weather and cool-weather formulations, helping contractors maintain dependable working characteristics across a wider range of jobsite conditions.

How to use TSO™ Trowel and Sprayable Decorative Concrete Overlay Mix:

ALWAYS READ FULL TDS AND SDS BEFORE APPLYING TSO™

Mixing Instructions:

Mix one bag at a time in a clean 5-gallon pail using a helical mixing blade. Add 4.0 to 5.5 quarts of water per bag. Water demand may change depending on temperature, humidity, and application method. For best results and longest working time, use clean, cold water. Run hot water out of hoses before use, or fill buckets at the beginning of the day so all mixes are the same temperature. Keep bags cool and out of direct sunlight. Always measure the water into the mixing pail first so each batch is consistent. When using an Overlay Color Pack, add the color pack to the water first and mix it thoroughly before adding the bagged mix material.

While mixing slowly, add the bag contents into the pail. Blend until the material is smooth and free of lumps. As you mix, scrape the sides and bottom of the pail to make sure all dry material is fully blended in. Once all powder is wet, continue mixing for 2 minutes to fully blend the product.

Apply the mixed material promptly. When possible, keep it out of direct sunlight to help extend working time.

If the product stiffens in the bucket, mix it again with the drill and mixing blade. Do not add more water. If mixing it again does not make it workable, discard the material.

The amount of water used will depend on the application:

For a base coat, use more water to help flatten the surface. This is typically 5.0 to 5.5 quarts per bag.

For sprayed coats, use about 4.5 to 5.0 quarts per bag, depending on the texture.

For hand troweling, use about 4.0 to 4.5 quarts per bag.

Tinting Instructions:

Durável TSO is made with white cement. When using an Overlay Color Pack, add one color pack to the mix water and blend thoroughly before adding the bagged mix material.

Application Instructions:

When Troweling: Pre-wet the concrete surface to Saturated Surface Damp, also called SSD. The concrete should be damp, but there should not be standing water on the surface. Continue wetting the surface as needed during application so it does not dry out too quickly. Pour the mixed Durável TSO directly onto the prepared concrete in ribbons across the immediate work area. Spread it evenly with trowels and/or squeegees to create the desired texture. Under normal conditions, the mixed material has about a 30-minute pot life, so the entire bucket does not need to be poured out at once.

When Spraying: Keep the concrete surface dry. Mask and protect nearby surfaces to help control overspray. Use a hopper gun with compressed air to spray the product to the desired texture. The air compressor should produce 5.0 CFM or higher for consistent application. Set the air pressure to about 40 psi, then adjust the air volume at the hopper gun as needed. Adjust the water amount, air volume, and hopper gun nozzle size to achieve the desired texture. Coverage is typically 120 to 200 square feet per bag, depending on the texture applied.

Do not use Durável TSO in areas that will stay permanently underwater.

Coverage:

After the substrate is properly profiled and prepared any significant damage such as spalling or pits should be pre-filled with a base coat of Durável TRO. Refer to TRO Technical Data Sheet for further information.  Typical application rate as smoothing base coat over repaired or smooth surfaces is 150 to 200 square feet per bag. Coverage for textures varies from 120 to 200 square feet per bag depending on texture preference and design. 

Clean Up:

Clean tools and mixing vessels with water. Capture runoff as necessary to protect downstream surfaces. Remove wet material from adjacent surfaces before it dries. Dried material may be loosened with Concrete Eraser or light acids; test an inconspicuous spot to ensure that the surface is not damaged by the cleaning process. 

Maintenance:

When applied outside Durável TSO must be finished with DV-30, DV-WB, Colour Seal, Colour Seal WB, or another compatible single-component acrylic concrete sealer. Interior applications may be finished with acrylic sealer or water base polyurethane. Follow the maintenance instructions for the selected sealer. 

Cured Physical Properties:

The concrete industry switched from Portland Cement to Portland Limestone Cement (ie Type IL) in late 2022. All Durável cementitious mixes are formulated with PLC, and all data listed is from tests performed on current formulas. Use caution when comparing performance data to other products that may be out of date. See our article on Portland Limestone Cement for more information.
