Tremco Vulkem 951NF Top Coat
Tremco Vulkem® 951NF Top Coat
Aliphatic, Two-Component Polyurethane Traffic Deck Top Coat | Brand: Tremco
Tremco Vulkem 951NF is an aliphatic, two-component polyurethane top coat engineered for vehicular and pedestrian traffic deck systems. Applied over compatible Vulkem base coats, it delivers a UV-stable, abrasion-resistant wearing surface for parkades, podium decks, and exposed pedestrian areas. Designed for professional installers and specifiers who require a durable, color-stable finish coat as part of an approved Tremco traffic coating system.
Product Description
Vulkem 951NF is a high-performance aliphatic polyurethane formulated to resist UV degradation, color fade, and surface wear under both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. As the final layer in a Tremco traffic deck system, it provides a tough, seamless wearing surface that protects the underlying waterproofing membrane from abrasion, chemicals, and weathering. Its two-component formulation delivers consistent film build and reliable cure across a range of field conditions.
The NF designation indicates a non-flammable, low-VOC formula suitable for use in enclosed or partially enclosed structures such as parkades and underground decks where solvent exposure must be minimized. Available in multiple colors to meet project aesthetic and safety-marking requirements.
Key Benefits
- UV stable, aliphatic chemistry — resists color fade and chalking on exposed, sunlit deck surfaces.
- Two-component system — reliable cure and consistent physical properties across varying site conditions.
- Non-flammable, low VOC — suitable for enclosed parkades and occupied-building work areas with appropriate ventilation.
- Abrasion and chemical resistant — withstands vehicular traffic, tire scuff, de-icing salts, and fuel spills.
- Seamless wearing surface — liquid-applied to form a continuous, jointless top coat over the waterproofing system.
- Multiple colors available — supports traffic marking, safety striping, and architectural color requirements.
- System-compatible — engineered to bond to Vulkem 350NF, 360NF, and other approved Tremco base coats.
Typical Applications
- Parkade and parking structure traffic deck top coat
- Podium and plaza deck wearing course
- Exposed pedestrian walkways and ramps
- Vehicular and pedestrian traffic areas over waterproofing membranes
- Color and safety-marking coats on traffic deck systems

Surface Preparation & Application
Apply only over a fully cured, approved Tremco base coat. The base coat surface must be clean, dry, and free of contamination. Mix components thoroughly at the specified ratio using a low-speed mixer. Apply by roller or squeegee at the specified film thickness. Allow adequate cure before opening to traffic. Refer to the current Tremco Product Data Sheet and system specification for mixing ratios, coverage rates, recoat windows, and cure times.
Limitations
- Must be applied over a compatible, approved Tremco base coat — not for direct application to concrete.
- Do not apply to damp, contaminated, or incompletely cured base coat surfaces.
- Do not apply outside recommended temperature and humidity ranges.
- Color availability subject to stock — confirm with Canopus Supply before specifying.
Storage & Shelf Life
Store in original, unopened containers in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat. Follow Tremco's stated shelf life and storage conditions on the product label and SDS.
