    Industrial Factory Floor Paint is a two-pack, solvent-free, very hard-wearing, epoxy floor paint for use in heavy-duty areas where a hard wearing and chemical resistant surface is required. 

    Appearance

    A smooth gloss finish in a range of attractive colours. Can have a textured finish with the addition of Anti-slip Aggregate.

    Options

    • Fast Cure (faster drying times)
    • Anti-slip (textured aggregate)

    Typical Installations

    • Factories and warehousing
    • Frequent forklift truck traffic areas
    • Processing and manufacturing plants.
    • Food preparation, food storage areas and breweries.
    • Commercial garages, vehicle repair and maintenance depots, aircraft hangers
    • Chemical plant storage areas.

    Advantages

    • Even on rough and uneven floors, it will cure to give a smooth, easy to clean surface.
    • Excellent chemical resistance.
    • Hygienic, seamless floor finish.
    • Low odour
    • Solvent-free
    • Will not support bacterial growth.

    Can be made decorative with the addition of Virtus PVA Flakes scattered into the wet resin, once dry, sand down any protruding or Flake edges and seal with Strongcoat Clear. Can be made anti-slip with the addition of Virtus Anti -Slip Aggregate scattered into the first coat of wet resin.

    Suitable Surfaces

    Concrete, metal, polymer-modified cementitious screeds.

    Usage

    Indoor (some colour change would occur if used outdoors)

    Chemical Resistance

    A wide range of acids and other chemicals.

    Coverage

    20 square metres per 5kg

    Coats Required

    Two coats are usually required

    Time In-between Coats:

    16-36 hours between coats

    Drying Time

    Normally 8 - 24 hours at 20oc for foot traffic and 48 hours for vehicular traffic.

    Pack Sizes

     5kg, 10kg or 15kg comprising a tin of resin and a tin of hardener.

    Cleaning

    Hot water jet washing, detergents and mechanical scrubber dryers.

    Thickness

    Approx 0.5 mm (from 2 coats). Can be built up to a maximum of 1 mm thickness from the application of multiple coats.

    Primer

    A primer is not normally required. However, on weak or porous concrete it is advisable to prime with Flowprime SF. For floors suffering from oil contamination, where oil has penetrated the slab, it is available to prime with Flowprime OT. For floors where there is no damp proof membrane in the construction of the floor or if the concrete is new and has not had time to dry out thoroughly, it is advisable to use Flowprime DPM.

    Surface Preparation

    Surfaces to be treated must be clean, sound, free from oil or other contaminants, flaky paints, laitance and dust. Smooth and dense surfaces must be mechanically abraded to provide a key. Please read our Surface Preparation Datasheet.

    Application Conditions

    Industrial Factory Floor Paint is a relatively viscous coating. Do not apply outside of the range 10 °C to 25 °C. Localised heating or cooling equipment may be required outside this range to achieve ideal temperature conditions. To reduce the risk of “blooming” caused by condensation, the climate above the uncured floor should be maintained at least 3°C above the dew point for at least 48 hours after application.

    Surface Preparation

    Concrete substrates must be a minimum of 28 days old, dry, clean and free of surface laitance and contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, poorly bonded coatings and surface treatments. Inadequate preparation will lead to loss of adhesion and failure. In coatings, there is a tendency for the finish to mirror imperfections in the substrate. Grinding, or light vacuum-contained shot- blasting is therefore preferred over planing for these systems.
    Concrete must include a functional damp-proof membrane.

    Priming

    Does not normally require a primer on dry substrates. When treating extremely porous or damp concrete, prime as follows: Substrate relative humidity <75%: Flowprime SF (Weak or porous) Substrate relative humidity >75%: Flowprime DPM (’green’ concrete)

    Application

    Best results are obtained in warm conditions (minimum 15 ºC ). Apply with a medium pile simulated sheepskin roller working well into the surface taking care not to exceed the coverage rate. Edges and difficult to reach areas may be applied thinly by brush. An anti-slip finish may be achieved by fully sprinkling the first coat with kiln dried silica sand at 3 - 4 kg/m 2 . Allow the first coat to fully cure (24 hours at 15 ºC or longer in colder temperatures) then remove all excess sand with a stiff broom and vacuum and apply a second coat to encapsulate the grains. Coverage rate will depend on surface profile but will be significantly greater than for the first coat. See technical data sheet for guides
