Designed for areas of harsh or extended chemical attack,Flortex Chemical Coat is suitable for chemical bunds as well as general floor areas. It is ideal for industrial and commercial floors and chemical process industries.
Suitable substrates: Following application of the appropriate primer, Flortex Chemical Coat may be applied to concrete, render, brick, aluminium and steel.
Colour: Flortex Chemical Coat is available in a selection of 12 stock colours, or in a large range of BS4800 and RAL specifications (subject to minimum quantity). We can make it to your specification on any order over 30 units.
Packaging: Flortex Chemical Coat is supplied in pre-measured quantities as a two part 5.0kg unit, comprising an epoxy resin blend Part ‘A’ and hardener Part ‘B’.
Number of parts: 2
Application Temperature: +15°C and +20°C.
Pot Life @ 20°C: 20 – 30 minutes
Initial Cure: 12 hours (light pedestrian traffic), 24 hours (light wheeled traffic), 48 hours (heavy duty traffic)
Re-coat time: 16 hours (min). 48 hours (max)
Coverage: Approximately 6m² to 8m²/kg per coat, 33-40m² per 5kg unit, will depend on the surface porosity and its texture.

Surface Preparation
THOROUGH SUBSTRATE PREPARATION IS ESSENTIAL.
Prior to application of Flortex Chemical Coat, the surface should be primed with the appropriate primer, depending on the type of substrate. Please contact Polycote Technical
Helpline and prepare the surface in accordance with the appropriate primer Data Sheet. Should
the time lapse between priming and top coat exceed 48 hours, abrade the primer to ensure
intercoat adhesion
Mixing
Prior to mixing, both components should be kept at a temperature between 15°C and 20°C.
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 the hardener to the coloured resin and thoroughly mix for at least 5 minutes. For best
results use a heavy duty slow speed drill with a mixing paddle.
Application:
Apply by brush, roller or squeegee, making sure that the surface is completely covered. Always
ensure a constant wet edge and work within the pot life of the material.
Make sure the coating is not overlapped in any area and apply in one direction only. Two coats
are recommended in areas of high chemical aggression. The ambient temperature of the areas
should not fall below 10°C throughout the application and curing period.
Application Temperature
Normal application temperature range is between +15°C and +20°C.
The maximum substrate and atmospheric relative humidity should be 75%.
