Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I have to use all three products?

The GreenIce Cure System ™ is a two-part process that requires both, IceStart ™ and IceStop ™ to be used together. IceCap ™ is an optional product that can be used to add a higher gloss to the finish. The default gloss reading averages in the 40’s after IceStop ™ is applied. Gloss readings between 60-80 are achievable with the addition of IceCap ™ .

Q: How are the products applied?

IceStart ™ IceStart ™ is applied at the time of pour. It can be applied through the sprayer of a power trowel or sprayed from a high-volume, low-pressure sprayer at a rate of 1,200 sq. ft. per gallon. IceStart ™ MUST be used in conjunction with either walk-behind or ride-on trowels. IceStart ™ gets applied during each subsequent panning cycle, for a total of three applications. IceStop ™ After using IceStart ™ , apply IceStop ™ as soon as the trowels are finished. IceStop ™ is applied using garden sprayers or high-volume, low-pressure sprayers at a rate of 400 sq. ft. per gallon. After IceStop ™ has completely dried, gently scrub surface and use minimal water rinse and and wet vacuum floor if necessary. IceCap ™ After IceStop ™ has been applied and the surface has been cleaned, simply spray IceCap ™ and disperse with a T-bar.
