About This Item
NEW 3-IN-1 TECHNOLOGY: Primes, seals and protects with just 2 coats. We recommend thinning the first coat by 20% with epoxy thinners, to ensure it impregnates the concrete.
TOUGH EPOXY FORMULA: The coating will not peel or wear down like single-pack floor paints.
SUITABLE SUBSTRATES: Concrete.
APPLICATION: Can be applied using a brush or roller. Medium Pile solvent resistant rollers are recommended.
MIXING RATIO: The mixing ratio 4:1. 4 parts paint to 1 part hardener.
POT LIFE: Once the components are mixed, the pot life is around 4-6 hours.
COVERAGE: Approximately 8 square metres per litre. This does not account for the method of application, absorption of substrate or wastage.
DRYING TIMES: Touch dry in 2-4 hours & full curing takes 7 days.
THINNERS: T0200 Epoxy Thinner.

Application
Painting a Bare Concrete Floor:
Never pre-seal the floor prior to painting, particularly with latex or PVC sealers, as paint will not adhere properly.
Ensure good ventilation to allow vapour to escape; this is also essential for maintaining drying times. Without air movement, the coating cannot dry effectively.
New concrete floors should be left to dry for at least 3 months before painting. Any remaining moisture in the concrete can lead to paint delamination.
Step 1 - Clean: Ensure the substrate is completely dry and free of any dirt, oil, or grease.
Step 2 - Prime: Thin the first coat by 20% with T0200 Epoxy Thinners to ensure the primer impregnates the concrete.
Step 3 - Topcoat: Apply the second coat of Clear Sealer within 12-24 hours of the first coat for optimal adhesion and performance. Alternatively, you can choose to apply the Two Pack Epoxy Floor Paint top coat within the same timeframe.
Mixing
- Use a mixer on a slow-running drill or a palette knife on smaller cans to mix the paint and catalyst together. An egg whisk, screwdriver, or small stick that doesn’t reach the bottom of the can is insufficient for proper mixing.
- Mix the catalyst into the paint for 3-5 minutes, allow to stand for a minute, and then repeat.
- Combine the catalyst into the can before pouring it into a paint tray.
- If you are thinning the paint, this is added once the paint has been catalysed.
- Ensure all components are thoroughly mixed to avoid any colour inconsistencies or drying issues.
