Description
Britone Epoxy Floor Paint is a two-part Epoxy resin coating consisting of a pigmented Base resin and a clear hardener component. This epoxy floor coating is designed for application
to concrete, cement and nonferrous metals. It provides excellent resistance to water, solvents, acids, alkalis and salts and gives superb adhesion to all recommended substrates.
Tough finish has long lasting abrasion and impact resistance. Recommended for areas receiving heavy traffic (vehicle/trucks). Following application of the product: The
two-component product is pre-packaged ready for on-site mixing. High build and “hiding power” may be achieved in two coats giving 400 microns thickness of application. A non-slip
finish is obtained when the first coating is broadcast with non-slip grains.
Uses include: Floor coatings for kitchens and other food processing areas, factories, warehouse and storage areas, metal Surfaces, and concrete surfaces.

Instructions for Use
Preparation
All contact surfaces must be sound, clean, and dry and provide a good mechanical key. Remove all loose material, paint, plaster and oily deposits. For best results, light grit blasting
is recommended.
Priming
Highly recommended to use Britone Epoxy Primer.
Mixing
The Epoxy Coating base component is supplied in a container which is large enough to
receive the hardener component and act as the mixing vessel. Pour all the hardener component
into the base resin container and mix using a slow speed high torque drill with a Grout Stirrer. Mixing should be continued for two minutes to achieve a uniform consistency and color.
Do not attempt part pack mixing.
Coating
Apply the Epoxy Coating in two coats. The use of a brush for the first coat is recommended.
For the second coat the use of a brush or a short pile simulated lamb’s wool roller is satisfactory for concrete surface. For metal surfaces spray may be used.
The second coat may be applied as soon as the first coat has cured to touch dry typically 12 to 24
Hours. Each coat should be applied as a thin continuous film.
All tools and equipment should be washed with Solvent. Hardened Epoxy Floor Coating may only
Be removed mechanically.
Epoxy Coating may be applied at temperatures between 10°C and 35°C.
Curing
Typical curing times at 20°C
Overcoat 12 to 24 Hours
Foot traffic 36 to 48 Hours
Full cure 7 Days
