FAQs
What is the best application method for this epoxy paint?
The paint can be applied by roller, trowel, or notched trowel. For enhanced slip resistance, quartz additives can be incorporated during application.
How long does it take for the floor to be ready for use?
The floor is typically walkable in 24 hours and fully cured within 7 days, depending on environmental conditions like temperature and humidity.
Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?
While it offers resistance to frost and de-icing salts, it is primarily engineered for indoor industrial environments. Long-term UV exposure may affect the finish. Always test in an inconspicuous area if considering outdoor use.
Can I apply this over an existing painted floor?
It is recommended to apply over a properly prepared concrete substrate. Existing coatings should be removed or thoroughly abraded to ensure optimal adhesion of the 2K epoxy. A primer is often necessary.
What is the purpose of the 100ml sample size?
The 100ml sample size is intended for testing the color, finish, and adhesion on a small area of your substrate before committing to a larger purchase.
How resistant is the paint to chemicals?
The paint offers resistance to fuels, oils, frost, and de-icing salts, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Does this product contain solvents?
No, this is a solvent-free coating, which makes it safer to use with less odor during application.
Troubleshooting
Poor adhesion or peeling
Ensure the concrete surface was thoroughly cleaned, dry, and properly primed before application. Incorrect mixing ratios or inadequate curing can also cause adhesion issues.
Uneven finish or streaks
This can result from inconsistent application or improper mixing. Ensure thorough mixing of both components and apply with consistent strokes using the recommended tools.
Bubbling or blistering
Moisture in the substrate, applying at too high a temperature, or inadequate ventilation during curing can cause bubbling. Ensure the concrete is dry and allow for proper airflow during curing.
Paint not curing properly
Check the mixing ratio and ensure both components were thoroughly combined. Temperature may also be a factor; ensure application and curing occur within the recommended temperature range.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional durability for heavy-duty environments.
- Resistant to chemicals, oils, and extreme temperatures.
- Provides a seamless, attractive semi-gloss finish.
- Fast return to service with quick curing times.
- Flexible application methods suit different project needs.
- Solvent-free formula is more environmentally friendly and safer to use.
Cons
- Requires careful surface preparation for optimal adhesion.
- May require specialized application tools for best results.
- Sample size (100ml) is for testing and not for large areas.
- Solvent-free formulas can sometimes have longer initial drying times than solvent-based alternatives.
- Color consistency across large batches might require careful ordering.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation is Key: Ensure the concrete substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, oil, and existing coatings. A proper concrete primer, such as Mipa primers, is recommended for optimal adhesion and performance.
Mixing: This is a 2K (two-component) system. Follow the manufacturer's specific mixing ratios and instructions carefully. Ensure thorough mixing to activate the curing agents.
Application: Apply using a roller, trowel, or notched trowel. For anti-slip surfaces, incorporate quartz additives during application as recommended by the manufacturer. Maintain consistent application thickness for a uniform finish.
Curing: Allow the floor to cure for at least 24 hours before light foot traffic and 7 days before heavy use or exposure to chemicals. Avoid moisture during the initial curing phase.
Compatibility: Compatible with Mipa primers. For enhanced slip resistance, quartz additives can be mixed into the epoxy. Always test compatibility with other materials if unsure.
Care: Clean spills promptly. Routine cleaning can be done with a damp mop and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could degrade the finish over time.
