COCOON 560
Immersion-Grade Waterproof Coating. High Abrasion Resistance.
COCOON 560 is a high-performance liquid polyvinyl chloride coating formulated for the protection of surfaces subject to constant immersion and continuous water exposure. Engineered for maximum surface hardness and durability, it forms a tough, seamless, and permanent waterproof membrane that adheres to a wide range of interior substrates.
Applied by spray to clean, dry surfaces, COCOON 560 cures into a resilient protective skin designed to withstand aggressive wet service conditions. It delivers excellent resistance to abrasion, chemical exposure, and continuous hydraulic action, making it ideal for environments where surfaces are constantly exposed to water and cleaning processes.
The coating maintains long-term integrity under mechanical stress, thermal movement, and chemical loading, while providing a hygienic, easy-to-clean finish suitable for demanding industrial and institutional applications.

Preparation and Application
Surface Preparation
All surfaces must be dry, free of dirt, loose debris, oils, grease, or any substance that could interfere with adhesion. Additionally, all surfaces should be modified in a manner to make them as smooth as possible by removing sharp projections and filling gaps and voids
Application
A minimum surface profile of ½mm should be maintained for maximum adhesion. After proper masking, prime the entire surface to be coated with Vinyl Bond B, directly from the can, by spray or roller and allow the primer to dry. Close all penetrations through the surface by using a webbing coat. Webbing solution is made by mixing 1 part webbing agent with 3 parts Cocoon 560 to produce a milky, white solution that will support the following coats. Mix ½ gallon of Cocoon Pigment into a 5-gallon can of Cocoon 560 and mix until the color is uniform. Spray apply the mixed Cocoon 560 in multiple overlapping passes until a 20 mil dry film thickness has been achieved. The first should be very light to avoid breaking the webs. Properly applied, the coating should be free of voids and pinholes. Voids and pinholes must be re-sprayed to achieve a complete seal. Prior to the removal of any protection or equipment, a thorough inspection of the entire area should be completed, and all damage or deficiencies must be repaired and re-sprayed. All termination joints should be sealed with a polyurethane sealant. For recommendations regarding equipment, contact our Technical Department.
