FAQs
What is the coverage rate of the 100ml sample kit?
The coverage rate for the 100ml sample kit is intended for testing purposes and will vary based on application thickness and substrate porosity. For specific coverage details on larger quantities, please refer to the product's technical data sheet.
How long does it take to fully cure?
The floor is walkable after 24 hours, but it takes approximately 7 days for the coating to fully cure and achieve its maximum hardness and resistance properties.
Can this paint be used on exterior concrete?
While it offers excellent resistance to de-icing salts, the product is primarily engineered for industrial and workshop environments. Long-term UV exposure may affect the finish. Test in an inconspicuous area for exterior use.
What is the shelf life of the product?
Unmixed components typically have a shelf life of 12 months when stored in original, sealed containers in a cool, dry place. Refer to the product packaging for specific expiry dates.
Can I apply this over an existing painted floor?
Compatibility with existing coatings should be tested. For best results, the existing coating should be abraded or removed, and the concrete substrate properly prepared.
Is this product suitable for food preparation areas?
This product is not explicitly certified for food contact surfaces. For such applications, a food-grade certified coating should be used.
What is the recommended application temperature range?
The ideal application temperature range is typically between 10°C and 30°C (50°F and 86°F). Avoid applying in direct sunlight or when temperatures are expected to drop below this range during application or curing.
Troubleshooting
Product not self-levelling properly
Ensure the product is mixed thoroughly according to instructions. Check for uneven substrate or incorrect application temperature. Apply at the recommended thickness.
Poor adhesion to concrete
Verify that the concrete surface was adequately prepared, clean, and dry. Grinding or etching the concrete may be necessary. Ensure no contaminants were present during application.
Uneven sheen or finish
Check for inconsistent mixing of the two components or uneven application. Ensure temperature during application and curing is within the recommended range.
Surface remains tacky after curing time
This could be due to incorrect mixing ratio of components, low ambient temperature, or high humidity during application/curing. Ensure proper ventilation and temperature conditions are met.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation is Key: Ensure the concrete substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and any loose material. Grinding or shot blasting is recommended for optimal adhesion. Any existing coatings should be tested for compatibility or removed.
Application: This product can be applied using a roller, trowel, or notched trowel. Ensure even application to achieve the self-levelling effect. For anti-slip finishes, consider using compatible Mipa primers and quartz additives.
Compatibility: Compatible with Mipa primers. Ensure all other materials used are compatible before application.
Care: Clean spills promptly. For routine cleaning, use water and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. For heavy soiling, use appropriate industrial cleaners compatible with epoxy coatings.
