Scratch & Scuff Resistant Epoxy Flooring
This is a specially formulated epoxy coating with an chemically extra hardened finish designed to be impervious to scuffs, scratches, abrasion wear commonly associated with retail store floors, offices, and showroom floors. These floors see high foot traffic and wheel traffic from shopping carts and office chairs that can quickly dull and wear out standard epoxy floor coatings.
This epoxy has a hardness rating of Shore D 90+, that is harder than construction hard hats plus it is 30 mils thick when applied with the recommended primer. The combination of extra hard surface and extra thickness ensures your floor stays looking new the longest versus only looking good for the first six months.
We tested this coating with our forklifts in our warehouse; we drove the forklifts around with the forks tilted down onto the floor and they had no effect on the coating! This is the kind of toughness you need in a retail or office environment.
Sold in 3 gallon sets. Coverage is 100 sf/gal on bare concrete and 125 sf/gal on primed surfaces. We strongly recommend that you use the primer for maximum adhesion. Primer Coverage is 300 sf per gallon.
Application is very easy. Floor must be clean, dry and profiled either by acid etching or diamond grinding. Once floor is clean and dry mix primer (if using) in a 1:1 ratio and roll out like regular paint. Let dry 5-8 hours depending on temperature. Do not let more than 24 hours pass before applying epoxy. Primer is ready for epoxy when you can press your thumb into it without leaving a fingerprint.
Next mix epoxy in a 2:1 ratio, only mix 1 gallon of epoxy per person rolling. Mix for 2 1/2 minutes and pour directly onto floor in a bead from left to right. Spread out with supplied squeegee and then back-roll to even out and spread further with lint free roller. If using nonslip additive, disperse onto epoxy during back-rolling. Use 1.5 units of nonslip per 3 gallons of epoxy for best results.
Allow epoxy to dry overnight. Light traffic next day, heavy traffic on second day.
