Special Features
Being extremely tough and hard wearing, with excellent chemical, impact and abrasion resistant it is excellent for heavily trafficked areas. The totally impervious and chemical resistant finish also helps to protect the substrate and reduce costs due to much easier and faster cleaning.
Normally a two coat system, Flortex EPS is quick and easy to apply and can be applied over previously painted surfaces and floors. Superb adhesion qualities to most substrates. A non-slip version is also available if required.
Typical Areas of Use
Proven since 1991 in almost every industrial and commercial environment, Typical applications include floors, ramps, stairs, fire escapes, gantries, machinery, tanks, pipework and ducting along with the following:
- Emergency areas and exits where downtime must be kept to a minimum
- Boiler and plant rooms
- Colour coding of specific areas
- Line marking
- Coating, colour coding manhole covers and inspection lids for easy identification
- Steps, staircases and ramps
- Production and manufacturing work area
- Storage Areas
- Warehouses
- Workshops
Suitable Substrates
After appropriate preparation and priming, Flortex® EPS may be applied to concrete, brick, timber, architectural aluminium, and galvanised steel. It may be applied to both old and new concrete floors, brick, block, stone floors, wood, and metal. Furthermore, it is compatible with most previously coated substrates. However, due to the many and varied paints on the market, make absolutely sure the existing paint has fully cured and is fully adhered to the substrate. We then strongly advise applying a trial area to ensure a good inter-coat adhesion with the existing paint can be achieved.
Condition of Substrate (Important)
If the substrate is unstable, dusty, suffering from oil contamination or rising damp, it is very important that you contact our technical team to establish the correct method of preparation as well as the correct primer to be used, or indeed to discuss an alternative product more suited to your needs.
It is far more important to us to offer the RIGHT solution and have a happy customer, than a quick sale ending in disappointment!
