• Exceptional Chemical Resistance – Handles frequent cleaning with chemicals
• Oil & Solvent Resistant – Perfect for industrial and automotive settings
• Hard as Ceramic Tiles – Extremely dense, tough finish
• Versatile Use – Ideal for a wide range of indoor floor applications

Application Details:

• Use Areas: Garages, warehouses, workshops, showrooms, corridors, and indoor car parks
• Coating Thickness: 150 microns per coat
• Finish: Hard, dense, tile-like surface
• Resistance: Chemicals, oils, and solvents

Surface Preparation

Remove grease, oil and all other surface contaminations by alkaline or high pressure
(steam) cleaning in combination with appropriate detergents. Sand intact coatings to
roughen the surface slightly. The surface must be clean and dry during application.
Concrete and masonry: New concrete or masonry should dry and cure for at least 30 days
before applying the coating system. Remove laitance, loose and unsound concrete or
deteriorated coatings preferably by abrasive blasting and repair surface defects with 5180
Epoxy Repair Mortar . Very dense and smooth concrete should be
abrasive blasted or primed with Super Adhesive 3333 or 3366.

Steel: Remove loose rust, rust scale and deteriorated coatings by abrasive blasting to Sa
2½ (ISO 8501-1 : 1988), blast profile max. 100 µm. For immersion purposes, prepare to Sa
3 (ISO 8501-01 : 1988), blast profile max. 75 µm.
