Flortex SG is a two part water-dispersed epoxy floor coating with 60% solids content. Providing a hardwearing, easy clean surface with a coloured semi-gloss/silk finish for medium duty traffic. Aggregate may be added during application to create a non-slip surface. Two coats are required.
It is easy to apply without the need for solvents or thinners and will protect concrete from oil and chemical spillages.
Slip resistant version also available.
Flortex SG is ideal for use in warehouses, factories, processing plants, showrooms, hospitals and schools.
Flortex SG may be applied direct to most substrates, including old and new concrete and polymer modified cementitious screeds.
Flortex SG is available in a selection of stock colours, or in a large range of BS4800 and RAL specifications (subject to minimum quantity).
Flortex SG is supplied in pre-measured quantities as a two part 5.0kg unit, comprising a coloured epoxy blend Part ‘A’ and hardener Part ‘B’.
Please consult the Flortex SG technical data sheet for full technical product data.
The pot life once mixed is approximately 60 minutes at +20˚C. Initial curing takes place within 24 hours depending on temperature and humidity.
To ensure a good intercoat chemical bond, the top coat should be applied between 8 and 24 hours later. If this interval is exceeded, abrade the first coat to ensure intercoat adhesion.
Will accept pedestrian traffic after 24 hours, light wheeled traffic after 4 days and full cure strength is reached at 7 days.
Normal application temperature range is between +10°C and +25°C. Best results are obtained in warm conditions (minimum 15°C).
The coverage of a 5kg unit of Flortex SG is approximately 30m², depending on the texture and porosity of the surface. Two coats are normally sufficient.
Shelf life in unopened containers is approximately 12 months subject to conditions of storage. Store in a cool, dry, frost-free environment away from sources of ignition, between 15°C and 20°C.
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 coating. If this is not possible, chemically etch with Polycote Etch IT then rinse thoroughly and allow 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 contamination. Smaller, isolated deposits may be chemically cleaned with Polycote Degrease IT, then rinsed thoroughly and allowed to dry.
Once prepared, the area must be kept clean and free of traffic.
Materials should be stored at 15°C to 25°C for a minimum of 8 hours before use.
Having fully prepared the substrate, stir the individual components before mixing together. As pigment may ‘sink’, ensure that the mixing is very thorough and from the bottom of the container.
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 thorough mixing as an unmixed product will result in a poor or non-cure situation.
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 include unmixed raw resin.
A second coat of Flortex SG should be applied after initial curing has taken place – see ‘Pot Life & Curing Times’, and should be applied at right angles to the first coat.
