Flortex SG

Preparation:

Thorough substrate preparation is essential. Recommended methods are:

Powerfloated concrete – use a Vacuum Assisted Shotblaster to remove weak laitence and provide a surface key for the epoxy coating. If this is not possible, chemically etch with Polycote Etch IT then rinse thoroughly and allow the surface to dry.

Loose paint or rust – remove, using a Vacuum Assisted Shotblaster, Floor Grinder or equivalent method.

Oil or grease – use Hot Compressed Air for large areas of floor contamination. Smaller, isolated deposits may be chemically cleaned with Polycote Degrease IT, then rinsed thoroughly and the surface allowed to dry.

Timber – remove any loose paint and abrade thoroughly. Ensure surface is clean and free of dust, oil and grease.

See relevant Data Sheet prior to application. Once prepared, the area/ floor must be kept clean and free of traffic.

Mixing:

Having fully prepared the concrete floor, stir the individual components before mixing the epoxy resin floor paint together.

Add Part ‘B’ to Part ‘A’ and thoroughly mix for at least 3 minutes. For best results use a heavy duty slow speed drill with a mixing paddle.

Ensure the floor paint is thoroughly mixed as an unmixed product will result in a poor or non-cure situation.

Application:

Apply by brush or roller, making sure that the surface is completely covered.

Particular attention should be given to doorways and other areas of high traffic.

When finished DO NOT scrape the remaining contents from the container as this will invariably contain unmixed raw epoxy resin floor paint.

A second coat of Flortex SG should be applied after initial curing has taken place – approximately 16-24 hours.
