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. IceStart MUST be used in conjunction with either walk-behind or ride-on power trowels. IceStart is applied during each subsequent panning cycle at a rate of 400 SF per gallon, for a total of three applications. IceStop ™ After IceStart, apply IceStop as soon as the trowels are finished. IceStop is applied using pump-up garden or high-volume, low-pressure sprayers at a rate of 400 SF per gallon. After IceStop has completely dried, gently scrub surface and, using minimal water, rinse and wet vacuum floor if necessary. IceCap ™ After IceStop has been applied and the surface is clean and dry, simply spray IceCap and disperse with a weighted T-bar with clean applicator.

Do I have to use all three products?

The GreenIce Cure™ System is a two-part process that requires both, IceStart™ and IceStop™ 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 50-70’s are achievable with the addition of IceCap.
