Overview

A multi-surface, water-based floor paint for internal and external concrete, wood, metal, or asphalt surfaces. The semi-gloss finish is extremely durable with excellent adhesion and a one-hour recoat time. Ideal for use in garages, kitchens, workshops, staircases, bathrooms, and kitchens as well as in light-medium traffic areas of factories and shop floors.

• Stain & petrol resistant
• Quick drying - ready for light use in 16 hours
• Can be applied with a sprayer
• Non-yellowing

Preparation

The surface must be free from dust, dirt and any contaminates that will affect adhesion.

• High-pressure water cleaning should be utilised to remove loose or flaking paint and contamination. Use a detergent to remove any grease or oil
• Intact areas of existing coatings should be roughened by abrasive manual or disc rubbing and feathered back to a sound coating edge
• Cracks and pits should be filled using a suitable screed or mortar before painting

Concrete

Concrete surfaces require additional consideration which includes the initial steps above

• The surface must be completely dry and laitance free (a weak friable layer of fine particles that can form on the surface of concrete)
• If loose or chipping, remove all loose material and repair the damaged areas
• Powder Coated, shiny or unpainted non-porous concrete floors should be thoroughly vacuum blast cleaned to a roughness profile of 30-50 microns, alternatively, acid etch or prime the surface

Application

Always perform a small test patch to ensure you are happy with the finished results. Please follow the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin.

• Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred prior to application
• Application to concrete, wood & absorbent surfaces, the first coat should be thinned 5-10% water to allow penetration into the substrate
• On bare wood when applying with a brush or roller work in the direction of the wood grain
• Conventional Air Spraying - Thin with 5-15% Water as required, tip size - 2.0mm, tip pressure 60psi (0.4MPa) approximately
• Airless Spraying - Thin with 0 – 10% water as required, tip size - 18 thou (0.46mm) approximately, tip pressure - 2100 psi (15MPa) approximately
• Leave the first coat to dry for 1 hour and apply a second coat
• After 16 hours the floor can sustain light traffic, allow at least 48 hours before subjecting to heavy traffic, and 4 days at 20°C to cure

Note: Drying/curing times will vary depending on film thickness, temperature, and relative humidity
