FAQs
What is the recommended temperature range for application?
Application is best performed when ambient temperatures are between 10°C and 25°C. Avoid applying in direct sunlight or on very hot surfaces.
How long does it take to fully cure?
The floor is walkable after 24 hours, and it reaches its full cure and maximum chemical resistance within 7 days.
Can this paint be applied over existing coatings?
It is best applied directly to prepared concrete. If applying over an existing coating, ensure it is well-adhered, sound, and has been properly abraded. Compatibility testing is recommended.
Is this product suitable for outdoor use?
While it offers good chemical and abrasion resistance, long-term UV stability may be a concern for outdoor applications. It is primarily designed for industrial indoor environments.
How do I clean the floor after it's cured?
Clean with water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Regular mopping will help maintain the finish.
What is the coverage rate of the paint?
Coverage varies based on the application method and substrate porosity. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for specific coverage rates for different application thicknesses.
Can I add anti-slip properties to the finish?
Yes, the paint is compatible with quartz additives, which can be mixed in to create a textured, anti-slip surface. This is highly recommended for areas where increased grip is needed.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not curing or is soft after 24 hours
Ensure components were mixed in the correct ratio and thoroughly. Check ambient temperature; curing is slower in cold conditions. Verify that the surface was clean and dry before application.
Poor adhesion to the concrete substrate
The concrete surface may not have been properly prepared (cleaned, etched, or profiled). Ensure the concrete was dry and free of contaminants before application. Consider using a compatible primer.
Bubbling or blistering during or after application
This can be caused by moisture trapped in the concrete, or by outgassing from the substrate. Ensure proper surface preparation and moisture testing. Avoid applying in direct sunlight or on very hot surfaces which can cause rapid solvent evaporation and blistering.
Uneven finish or roller marks
Apply the paint evenly and maintain a wet edge. Use a high-quality roller designed for epoxy coatings. For larger areas, consider using a notched trowel for initial spread before back-rolling.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional durability and resistance to heavy loads.
- Resistant to a wide range of chemicals and oils.
- Fast return-to-service time allows for quick project completion.
- Provides an attractive, easy-to-clean semi-gloss finish.
- Solvent-free formulation enhances safety during application.
Cons
- Requires thorough concrete preparation for optimal adhesion.
- Application may require specialized tools like notched trowels for best results.
- Not suitable for very porous or damp concrete without appropriate priming.
- Color matching across batches can be a concern for large projects.
- Long-term UV resistance might be limited depending on exposure.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation:
- Surface Cleaning: Ensure the concrete substrate is clean, dry, and free from any dust, grease, oil, paint, or other contaminants. A thorough degreasing and cleaning are essential.
- Surface Profiling: The concrete should be profiled to ensure good adhesion. This can be achieved through mechanical grinding or acid etching.
- Moisture Test: Verify that the concrete moisture content is within acceptable limits (typically below 5%).
Application:
- Mixing: Mix the two components of the epoxy thoroughly according to the manufacturer's instructions. Pay close attention to the mixing ratio and pot life.
- Tools: Apply using a high-quality roller designed for epoxy coatings, a trowel, or a notched trowel for a consistent finish.
- Priming: For enhanced adhesion and performance, consider using compatible Mipa primers.
- Additives: Quartz additives can be incorporated for an anti-slip finish, which is recommended for areas prone to moisture or spills.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with Mipa primers.
- Can be used with quartz additives for enhanced grip.
- Suitable for concrete substrates.
Care:
- Clean spills promptly with mild detergents and water.
- Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners that could damage the semi-gloss finish.
- Regular sweeping or mopping will maintain the appearance and longevity of the coating.
