Flowepoxy - Epoxy Self-Leveller
Vendor: Virtus Resins
Medium-duty flow-applied epoxy flooring with self-smoothing properties. Seamless, smooth, gloss finish. Synthetic resin flooring will generally follow the profile of the underlying substrate because of their method of application and their relatively low thickness.
Pack Size
31 kg pack comprising of: resin, hardener, and aggregate components.
Suitable Surfaces
Concrete and polymer modified cementitious screeds.
Typical Installations
- Food and beverage
- Retail and car showrooms
- Chemical industries
- Schools
- Hospitals
- Hotels
Options
- Standard
- ESD (Anti-static)
Advantages
- Flow applied - rapid installation
- Resistant to general chemical spillages
- Non-dusting
- Seamless
- High wear & abrasion resistance
-
Easy to clean

8.47 m² per unit at 2 mm.
5.65 m² per unit at 3 mm.
Drying Time
Normally 24 hours @ 20 degrees to light pedestrian traffic.
Cleaning
Flowepoxy can be easily cleaned using industry standard cleaning chemicals and techniques.
Primer
Flowepoxy requires priming with 2 coats Flowprime SF. If the substrate is newly laid, you may require 2 coats of Flowprime DPM (depending on residual moisture levels).
Mixing
Prior to mixing, the temperature of the three components must be between 15 and 25 oC. Pre-mix the coloured resin component before use. Add the hardener component to the coloured resin component and mix using a low speed electric mixer (200 - 500 rpm) for 1 - 2 minutes until homogeneous. Decant the mixture into a suitable mixing vessel and gradually add the aggregate component whilst continuing the mixing action. When all the aggregate has been added, mix for a minimum of 3 minutes until a uniform coloured, lump-free mix is obtained. Care should be taken to ensure that any material adhering to the sides, bottom and corners of the mixer is thoroughly blended in. Unduly extended or vigorous mixing should be avoided in order to minimize air entrainment.
Application
Priming: Priming should be carried out using Flowprime SF at 5 - 8 m2 /kg depending on substrate porosity. Apply using a medium nap roller ensuring complete coverage and avoiding pooling. If, when cured, there are dry patches, a further primer coat is required. Allow to cure completely before proceeding. If the primer has been left to cure for >48 hours then the primer surface should be mechanically abraded and the area re-primed. Failure to do so may result in pin-holing of the surface topping.
Application of Flowepoxy: Apply the mixture immediately onto pre-primed areas, spread to the required thickness using a steel float then de-aerate using a spiked roller. Continue spiked rolling until air is released finishing well before the material begins to gel. The cured product should be protected from other trades using Kraft paper or similar breathable material. Polythene should not be used.
