Application For the first coat on bare concrete, thin the paint 50% with suitable paint thinners. Ensure that the surface is clean, dry, and free from contaminants before application. Apply the thinned first coat with a brush or roller at a spread rate of approximately 35-50 ft² (3.25-4.65 m²) per litre. The second coat should be applied after a minimum of 4 hours, but ideally 8 hours later. No thinning is required for the second coat. For best results, allow the paint to fully cure for 7 days (168 hours). EPOXY FLOOR PAINT FLOOR PREPARATION STEP 1: Wash the floor using a degreasing solution. Rinse the floor until it’s clean. If the floor is particularly dirty, is very smooth or power floated, then it must be either mechanically abraded or treated WG and Etch. STEP 2: To check whether the WG and Etch has worked pour water onto the concrete to see if it absorbs. If the water beads on the surface, you will need to repeat the etching process. STEP 3: Areas of the floor that show imperfections will show through the final coat. Imperfections must be sanded, scraped or grinded to achieve a smooth surface. Brush or vacuum the residue off the floor, along with any existing flaking paint. STEP 4: If there are any holes or cracks in the concrete, fill them using a trowel and patch compound. Let it dry before continuing. STEP 5: It may be necessary to cut the edges of the walls /pillars and posts/doorways with a hand paint brush first. This will reduce the chance of paint splatter from your floor roller. However, experienced contractors may feel they can skip this process. Things to Note Before Using  Floor Paint Drying Time 24hrs Per Coat: The sealer will usually be ready for topcoating after 24 hours. However, it is important to test the sealer before topcoating to ensure it is fully dry. If the sealer is still soft or sticky, then a topcoat could entrap solvent in the sealer. 5°C Minimum Floor Temperate: It is always better to apply floor coatings in the morning, this ensures that they have the warmest temperatures to begin curing. It is very important to ensure that the temperature of the substrate is above 5 degrees C. Below this temperature the epoxy will not begin to activate. 5 degrees C air temperature does necessarily translate to the same in floor temperature. STEP 6: Ensure the different epoxy coats (ie sealer or topcoat) are separated to ensure the correct activators are assigned to the correct paint base. Pour the activator into the paint base and mix. STEP 7: Mix the two components together with an electric drill fitted with a mixer paddle. It is important to thoroughly mix the two components together. This will ensure that the heavier ingredients, which may settle to the bottom of the can, are combined evenly through the can. The mixing processes in all two pack epoxies, i.e. sealer/primer/topcoats are the same. STEP 8: After you are satisfied that the two components are completely mixed, let the can sit /sweat for approx. 10 minutes. This is called the induction period, allowing the activator and the base to begin working together and reducing the possibility of air bubbles in thicker coats. STEP 9: Pour out the sealer coat onto the floor in a thin line. Roller this thin line of paint using a floor roller. STEP 10: For larger floors it is better to divide the floor into square patches of approximately 3 x 3 metres. This allows you to roller the paint initially in one direction and then from the side at 90 degrees. Back rollering in the other direction will avoid roller marks and achieve a better finish. Once the sealer coat is dry, apply one or two coats of the 2 pack epoxy floor paint (topcoat) or high-build epoxy garage floor paint. The mixing procedure for the topcoat is exactly the same as for the sealer. The pouring and rollering procedures are also exactly the same. It is advisable to leave the floor for a minimum of 48 hours after top-coating before working on or operating machinery on the floor. Trade Suppliers of Industrial Protective Paint Wash and degrease the floor. For power floated or heavily contaminated floors, either Acid etch & clean or a diamond surface grinder must be used to prepare the floor prior to painting. To check if the etching or grinding process has been successful, gently pour water on to the concrete. If the water immediately absorbs it is ready for painting. If the water beads on the surface, the etching process needs to be repeated. Areas with imperfections will show through the finished epoxy coating. Where required apply self levelling patch compound to the floor to fill in any cracks or damage to the concrete and allow to cure as directed. High areas should be ground or scraped to achieve a smooth substrate for painting. Brush or vacuum any dust or debris prior to painting Open the Base component and thoroughly mix the container by hand or with an electric mixer. Ensure that any settled base from the bottom of the container has been reincorporated to the mixture. When complete the mixture should have an even colour and consistency throughout. Open the Base component and thoroughly mix the container by hand or with an electric mixer. Ensure that any settled base from the bottom of the container has been reincorporated to the mixture. When complete the mixture should have an even colour and consistency throughout.  Coat 1 (wash coat): Mix the base (part A) with the activator (part B) in the ratio of 7:1 and mix thoroughly for 2 minutes by hand or with an electric stirrer.  NOTE: Mix the paint in batches that can be applied within the 1 hour working time (i.e. pot life). This is because the chemical curing process cannot be stopped once the activator (Part B) is mixed into the base (Part A). Once thoroughly mixed add thinners (part C) at approximately a 2:1 ratio with the mixed epoxy and stir until combined. Apply a light even coat to the floor with a short or medium pile mohair roller. (Cutting in around corners and obstacles with a brush will help to spatter on walls etc.)  Coat 2 (topcoat) Allow the previous coat to cure for a minimum of 4hrs and checking you can walk on the surface without marking the coating, you can check by pressing the surface with your fingernail and making sure it does not lift or stick to your finger. Alternatively leave the coating overnight. Once satisfied that the previous coat has cured enough for overcoating Repeat the process of mixing part A & B in batches and applying a thin even coat to the entire floor.  NOTE: Areas of very high wear may benefit from a patch coating in that area prior to coat 2 to increase the dry film thickness of the finished floor in that area extending the longevity of the coating.  Coat 3 (topcoat) In 3 coat scenarios allow the floor to cure as previous and apply a final coat in the same manor as coat 2. Ensuring a thin even coat is applied across the entire floor. Allow 3 days before regular foot traffic or until the floor has cured to where it cannot be marked by scratching it with your fingernail. Allow the floor to cure for 7 days before vehicular traffic to ensure the epoxy has reached full cure. Important Notes: Brushes, rollers and trays should be cleaned with standard Thinners between mixed batches. When applying paint to a previously painted floor a small test patch of the base paint should be applied in an inconspicuous area and left for a minimum of 30 minutes to check if the 2 different coating systems are compatible and do not react. In case of bubbling, cracking, webbing etc. Contact your supplier for advice before proceeding with application of the paint. Voller epoxy paints should only be mixed with the recommended Thinner.  5°C Minimum Floor Temperate: It is best practice to apply floor coatings in the morning, this ensures that the coating has the warmest temperatures throughout the day to begin curing. It is very important to ensure that the temperature of the substrate is above 5 degrees C. Below this temperature the epoxy will not begin to activate. 5 degrees C air temperature does necessarily translate to the same in floor temperature. If the temperatures are below the specified limits space heaters may be used to artificially heat the space.
