Non Slip Two Pack Epoxy Resin Floor Paint Heavy Duty 2K for Concrete Floors

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 and Abrade: Ensure the substrate is completely dry and free of any dirt, oil, or grease.

Power floated and smooth concrete floors must be mechanically abraded to ensure proper adhesion.

Be sure to stir the paint well before use.

Step 2 - First Coat / Prime: For the first coat, we recommend using the standard smooth Two-Pack Epoxy Paint, as it’s easier to apply than the non-slip version. Thin the paint by 20% with T0200 Epoxy Thinners, which helps it penetrate the concrete and act as a primer/sealer. If you prefer to use the Non-Slip Epoxy Paint for the first coat, the same 20% thinning applies.

Begin by cutting in around the edges with a 2- or 3-inch brush, and work backwards toward

Step 3 - Topcoat: Apply the second coat of paint within 12-24 hours of the first coat for optimal adhesion and performance. If you go over 24 hours then a light abrasion will be needed.

Two coats of topcoat are recommended for optimal coverage.

Application - Painting Over Existing Paint:

Ensure good ventilation to allow vapour to escape; this is also essential for maintaining drying times. Without air movement, the coating cannot dry effectively.

Be sure to stir the paint well before use.

Step 1 - Preparation: Check the suitability of the product for the existing paint. We recommend trying a sample area first, as two-pack epoxies cannot be applied over single-pack paints.

Step 2 - Clean and Abrade:

• Ensure the existing paint is in good condition before painting.
• Lightly abrade the surface to provide a key for good intercoat adhesion.
• Remove any flaking paint prior to painting.
• Ensure the substrate is dry and clean of dirt, oil or grease.

Step 3 - Topcoat: Apply the first coat of top coat and overcoat with the second coat 12-24 hours after the first for optimal adhesion and performance. Begin by cutting in around the edges with a 2- or 3-inch brush, and work backwards towards the exit.

Two coats of topcoat are recommended for optimal coverage.

• 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 tub before pouring it into a paint tray. 
• If you are thinning the paint for the first coat, this is added once the paint has been catalysed.
• Ensure all components are thoroughly mixed to avoid any colour inconsistencies or drying issues.

Make sure to thoroughly stir the paint before application, as the aggregate can settle on the surface. If the non-slip component isn't mixed well, you'll end up with a thick concentration of it initially, causing uneven distribution—resulting in less non-slip texture as you use more of the paint.
