FAQs
What is the recommended temperature for application?
Refer to the product's technical data sheet for specific temperature guidelines, but generally, application should occur in a well-ventilated area between 10°C and 30°C.
How long does the epoxy take to fully cure?
The floor is walkable in approximately 24 hours, but it fully cures and reaches maximum hardness and resistance within 7 days.
Can this paint be used on existing painted or coated floors?
It is recommended for bare concrete. If applying over an existing coating, ensure it is sound, well-adhered, and properly prepared (e.g., abraded). Testing on a small area is advised.
How do I achieve an anti-slip finish?
You can incorporate compatible quartz additives into the paint during application. Follow the additive manufacturer's instructions for mixing ratios.
Is this product suitable for outdoor use?
While it offers excellent resistance, its long-term UV stability for outdoor conditions may vary. It is primarily designed for indoor industrial environments.
What is the coverage rate?
Coverage rates vary depending on the application method and substrate porosity. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for specific estimates.
Can I apply multiple coats?
Yes, multiple coats can be applied, but ensure the previous coat is sufficiently cured and prepared according to the manufacturer's recommendations for intercoat adhesion.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering properly
Ensure the concrete surface was thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and dry before application. Mechanical preparation is highly recommended. Check for compatibility with any primers used.
Uneven or streaky finish
Ensure the product was mixed thoroughly. Apply evenly with consistent strokes. Check for surface imperfections before application. Ensure proper application technique for self-levelling.
Bubbling or blistering
This can be caused by moisture in the concrete or excessive heat during application. Ensure the substrate is completely dry and the ambient temperature is within the recommended range.
Slow curing time
Curing times are dependent on temperature and humidity. Ensure application within the recommended temperature range. Thicker application layers may also extend curing time.
