Flortex® PU Cove Mix is a 100% solids, three-part, polyurethane mix designed for the coating of coving and forming radius coves. It may also be applied direct to concrete areas adjacent to Flortex Screed coatings to ensure uniform appearance.
It provides excellent abrasion resistance, with a lightly textured matt finish that is resistant to hot water, has high chemical resistance and is extremely hard wearing.
- A long term, hard wearing hygienic screed system
- Suitable for all industrial environments and climates
- A seamless, easy to clean, professional finish
- High level of chemical resistance
- Supplied in 19.4kg units, made up of 3 parts
- Installation available from Polycote Contract Services Team

Please consult the technical data sheet for full technical product data.
Preparation
The screed or substrate should be mechanically prepared to a clean, sound and dry surface with a good mechanical key.
Priming
All surfaces should be treated with a suitable primer. Application of Flortex PU Cove Mix should be applied onto the tacky primer, typically 45-60 mins after application in order to achieve a sound adhesive bond.
Mixing
Mix the coloured base component to an even consistency, ensuring the redispersion of any settled pigment. Thoroughly scrape the contents of the base and hardener components into the same container and mix thoroughly for at least one minute. Pour the combined base and hardener into a rotary drum mixer and add the aggregate component steadily, mixing for a minimum of 3 minutes, until a homogeneous mix of the three parts is achieved.
Application
Apply to pre-primed areas with a coving trowel to form the skirting as required.
Due to the different aggregates used in this vertical grade material, a variation in surface texture and colour density must be expected. Where a closer colour match is required to adjacent surfaces then Flortex PU Screed Seal should be used to overcoat the Cove Mix within 24 hours of application.
Application thickness is typically 2 – 9mm (vertically 4mm maximum).
Application Temperature
Flortex PU Cove Mix should be applied at a surface temperature between 15°C and 25°C and a relative humidity of <90% RH, with a minimum air temperature of 8°C and no condensation.
Do not pre-warm the product as working times will be substantially reduced if materials are warm.
