DESCRIPTION
This high performance epoxy floor coating is ideal for warehousing and industrial flooring where a high end finish is required. A warehouse floor will most likely endure heavy vehicle and foot traffic, therefore ensuring you have a coating that can withstand these tough conditions is essential. Often warehouses use automated machinery that follow the same route over and over, wearing away at your flooring. Bare concrete is not able to withstand this sort of traffic and will eventually wear down. Our coating is incredibly resilient and able to withstand heavy traffic as well as providing a professional, high gloss finish. Additionally it is chemical and oil resistant protecting your concrete from any liquids.
The epoxy is easy to clean and maintain and is offered in a great choice of colours, allowing you to select one that will easily blend in to your industrial setting. All our epoxy is proudly manufactured in the UK to ISO 9001 standard ensuring the highest possible quality and durability. Its high build floor paint characteristics allows the application of coatings in exceed 0.25mm per coat.

APPLICATION GUIDE
Preparation
Old paint finishes should be removed if flaking at all and the surface should be sanded to create a texture (also known as a mechanical key) prior to applying Resincoat HB Epoxy Warehouse Floor Paint. When preparing for a floor coat, doing so mechanically (shot-blasting or grinding) is always advisable for best results, but if that is not possible then sanding the area or our Etch and Clean is a good alternative. After the surface has been completely abraded, thoroughly sweep and vacuum the area of any remaining dust or contaminants. For more information on preparation, please see technical data sheet.
Please note: Etch and Clean is only suitable for use on bare concrete.
Priming
• For new concrete floors or floors in good condition, prime with Resincoat Damp Tolerant Primer
• For dusty, old or weaker floors prime with Resincoat Deep Penetrating Primer
• For greasy floors with heavy oil residue clean thoroughly using a suitable degreaser scraping off any dust or dirt and then prime with Resincoat Oil Tolerant Primer
Application
We advise when applying this product the ambient temperature is at least 7°C.
1. Mix Part A on its own with a mixing paddle attached to an electric drill for about 1 minute before adding ALL of Part B and continue to mix for another 90 seconds, keeping the paddle in suspension to avoid mixing air into the unit.
2. Pour entirety of the tin's contents into a plastic paint scuttle or tray.
3. Immediately begin applying your paint with a nylon-bonded resin suitable roller.
4. Use a brush around the edges to cut in (a second pair of hands can be useful for this stage).
5. As soon as the first coat has started curing (is no longer tacky to touch) you can re-coat; this should take 12-24 hours.
6. The cured final coat is ok for foot traffic. Cars and heavy objects, however, should be left off the new coating for the first 48 hours and chemicals including water should not be introduced for the first 7 days (Full chemical cure).
PLEASE NOTE: The pot life of this product is 20 minutes. This means that once parts have been mixed, the paint will start to chemically cure after this time. Ensure you remove the paint from the tin in this window. The paint will then be workable on your floor for up to 40 minutes.
Pot life = Time to harden in pot following addition of hardener
Working Time = Time to apply product before it becomes unworkable
