Flortex Fastset Coloured is a high build heavy-duty floor paint. This polyaspartic floor coating can be used in a variety of industries including medical, commercial, and industrial, however its tough finish makes it perfect for high wear areas, forklift vehicles, and heavily trafficked floors.
Slip resistant version available.
Suitable substrates
Flortex Fastset has been developed for application on concrete and cementitious substrates, but can also be applied to wood and resin coatings and screeds. It is not recommended to be used on damp concrete under any circumstances.
Colours
Flortex Fastset is available in clear and 9 standard colours. Other RAL colours may be available on request.
Packaging
Flortex Fastset is supplied in pre-measured quantities as a two part 5kg unit, comprising an epoxy resin blend Part ‘A’ and hardener Part ‘B’.
Preparation
The substrate must be clean, sound, dry and all surface laitance removed.
The substrate moisture content at the surface should be less than 75% RH and contain a functioning damp proof membrane.
Concrete substrates should be mechanically prepared using a vacuum assisted shot blaster or diamond grinding equipment, followed by thorough vacuuming leaving an open textured surface.
On concrete surfaces, care must be taken to ensure the surface preparation does not disfigure the surface as this will show through the clear coating.
Wooden substrates should be thoroughly cleaned and any previous coatings and waxes removed from the surface. If necessary sand the surface in the direction of the timber grain.
Flortex Fastset is not recommended to be applied on damp concrete under any circumstances.
Mixing
Thoroughly stir Parts ‘A’ and ‘B’ individually to disperse any settlement, then add hardener Part ‘B’ to resin Part ‘A’ and mix for at least two minutes using a heavy-duty, slow speed drill with a mixing paddle until the two parts are thoroughly combined. Avoid air entrapment whilst mixing.
Ensure thorough mixing as an unmixed product will result in a poor or non-cure situation.
Application
Due to the limited pot life, once mixed, the Flortex Fastset must be applied immediately. It can be applied as a single coat or as multiple coats to build up a depth of cover.
Apply using a medium pile roller or brush, cross-rolling to ensure an even application and to minimise roller marks.
Apply Flortex Fastset at a nominal rate of 0.25m²/kg. If applying a second coat, do so after a minimum of 2 hours and maximum of 6 hours.
Application Conditions
Normal application temperature is between 5˚C and 25˚C. Relative Humidity up to 90% maximum. Please note, higher temperature will shorten the pot life
