Peda-Gard FC T is a urethane system with an integrally textured topcoat. It provides a consistent, well-textured finish with good anti-slip characteristics. The integrally textured topcoat eliminates the need for silica aggregates, reducing health concerns from silicosis. This system is ideal for high production applications.
Peda-Gard FC T
Two component, fast cure, low odor urethane system with an integrally textured, aliphatic topcoat
System Overview
Peda-Gard FC T’s low odor and fast curing allows for pedestrian traffic 24-36 hours after installation. The full coating system can be installed quickly, and it is compatible with the most stringent VOC regulations. This system is ideal for work in or near occupied buildings where odor may be an issue.
Peda-Gard FC T is integrally textured—it has a synthetic aggregate suspended in the coating. Applicators can install these coatings without broadcasting silica quartz aggregate, eliminating a production step and allowing a higher rate of production over standard coatings.
Eliminating the broadcast step also removes the use of hazardous silica sand on job sites, while achieving a more consistent textured surface and improving slip resistance compared to a system with manual aggregate broadcast.
Saving time is key for applications like renovations and routine maintenance, which are typically completed during a facility’s down time.

Technical Documents
How long does Peda-Gard FC T need to cure before opening to pedestrian traffic?
Typically the coating needs to cure 24 hours before opening to pedestrian traffic. In cooler temperatures this time may be 36 hours.
What type concrete curing compounds can be used with Peda-Gard FC T?
It is best to water cure concrete or use a sodium silicate curing compound. The use of acrylic or other “film forming” compounds will create bond issues and must be removed.
What is the minimum temperature at which Peda-Gard FC T can be applied?
The coating should be applied at temperatures that are 40°F/4°C and rising during application.
What is the maximum concrete temperature that Peda-Gard FC T can be applied?
The coating should not be applied to deck surfaces that are =/> 100°F/38°C.
