This paint is suitable for concrete, cement screed, stone, and previously painted floors, including those in garages, workshops, basements, warehouses, and patios.
The surface must be clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and oil. For bare concrete, etching or grinding is recommended. Existing paint should be sound and lightly abraded.
It is best to apply in temperatures between 10°C and 25°C. Application in very cold or humid conditions can affect drying and adhesion.
Drying times vary depending on temperature and humidity. Generally, it is touch-dry within a few hours and ready for a second coat after 12-24 hours, with full curing taking several days.
Yes, it is suitable for surfaces like patios and can withstand some weathering, provided the surface is properly prepared and protected.
Regular cleaning can be done with a damp cloth or a mild detergent solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
The semi-gloss finish provides a smooth surface. For areas where slip resistance is critical, consider adding an anti-slip additive according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared and cleaned before application. Re-abrade and re-apply, ensuring no contaminants are present.
Ensure a consistent application technique, maintaining a wet edge. Work in smaller sections if necessary. Apply in appropriate temperature conditions.
Ensure the paint has been thoroughly stirred. Consider applying an additional coat. Check that the correct application method (roller/brush) is being used as per instructions.
This may be due to insufficient ventilation, low temperatures, or over-application. Ensure adequate ventilation and check drying conditions. If tackiness persists, a light sanding may help.
Surface Preparation:
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, oil, and loose particles. For bare concrete, etching or grinding may be necessary. Ensure previously painted surfaces are sound and lightly abraded. Always test adhesion on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Application:
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply using a good quality synthetic roller or brush. Work in manageable sections, maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks. Apply in well-ventilated conditions. The recommended application temperature is typically between 10°C and 25°C.
Compatibility:
Suitable for concrete, cement screed, stone, and previously coated surfaces. Not recommended for asphalt or surfaces with known moisture issues. Always check compatibility with existing coatings if unsure.
Care:
Clean spills and dirt promptly. Use a damp cloth or a mild detergent solution for regular cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents that could damage the finish. Allow the coating to fully cure before heavy cleaning.
