FAQs
What is the coverage rate of this floor paint?
Coverage varies based on application method and substrate porosity. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for specific coverage rates per square meter.
Can this paint be used on exterior concrete surfaces?
This product is engineered for industrial interior floors. While it offers good resistance, its suitability for exterior use may depend on specific environmental conditions and UV exposure. Consult the manufacturer for exterior applications.
How long does the mixed paint remain workable?
The pot life of the mixed product is limited. Work within the recommended time frame after mixing to ensure the paint remains applicable and cures correctly.
What is the best way to clean this floor coating?
Regular cleaning with water and a mild, neutral detergent is recommended. Avoid using abrasive pads or strong chemical solvents that could degrade the finish.
Is this paint suitable for residential garage floors?
While the performance characteristics are excellent, this product is primarily designed for demanding industrial environments. For residential use, ensure the substrate and application conditions meet the product's requirements.
Can I apply a second coat?
Yes, a second coat can be applied to achieve greater durability or a more uniform appearance, provided the first coat is sufficiently cured according to the manufacturer's guidelines and the surface is clean.
What type of primer should I use with this epoxy floor paint?
The product is compatible with Mipa primers. Always refer to the specific technical data sheet for recommended primers to ensure optimal adhesion and performance.
Troubleshooting
Uneven or streaky finish
Ensure thorough and accurate mixing of both components. Apply the paint evenly, avoiding overworking specific areas. Check for proper application technique and tool use.
Paint not curing or curing too slowly
Verify correct mixing ratio of components. Ensure application is within the recommended temperature and humidity range. Check the product's shelf life and storage conditions.
Poor adhesion to the substrate
Confirm the concrete surface was properly prepared: clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or old coatings. Consider using a compatible primer if adhesion issues persist.
Bubbles or pinholes in the finish
This can be caused by trapped air or moisture in the substrate. Ensure the substrate is completely dry and free of rising damp. Apply thinner coats if necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent resistance to heavy mechanical loads and chemical spills.
- Durable, long-lasting semi-gloss finish.
- Fast return to service, minimizing operational disruption.
- Strong adhesion to concrete surfaces.
- Suitable for high-traffic industrial areas.
Cons
- Requires careful mixing of two components for proper curing.
- Application may require specific tools and techniques for optimal results.
- Solvent-free nature means it's less forgiving for beginners compared to single-component paints.
- Best applied in controlled temperature and humidity conditions.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation: Ensure the concrete substrate is clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Any existing coatings or sealers should be removed or properly prepared. A primer, such as Mipa primers, is recommended for optimal adhesion.
Mixing: This is a 2K (two-part) system. Carefully measure and mix the resin and hardener components according to the manufacturer's instructions. Incorrect mixing ratios will compromise performance and curing.
Application: Apply using a roller, trowel, or notched trowel. Ensure even coverage. For anti-slip properties, compatible quartz additives can be mixed in during application.
Compatibility: Compatible with Mipa primers. For enhanced slip resistance, use with approved quartz additives.
Care: Clean spills immediately. For general cleaning, use water and mild detergents. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents that could damage the coating.
