Avenue 2 Pack Epoxy Floor Paint 5L

Intended use

A high performance, very tough durable finish with excellent resistance to solvents, chemicals and mechanical damage. Dries to a semi-gloss finish and is suitable for floors where regular foot, vehicle and fork truck traffic is expected.
In dry areas prone to slip risk, you can further improve the slip resistance of 2 pack Epoxy Floor Coating by using Avenue Anti-Slip Additive. Wet Floors will always be slippery.
As a CONCRETE SEALER the first coat is thinned 2 Parts mixed paint with 1 part 2 Pack Epoxy Thinner which gives a VOC content of 600 g/litre VOC. VOC classification 2004/42 Cat A/(h): 750 g/l (2010)
As a FLOOR FINISH apply un-thinned when the VOC content is 484 g/litre mixed.
VOC classification 2004/42 Cat A/(j): 500 g/l (2010).
NOTE 2 Pack Epoxy Floor Paint must be used at ambient temperature above 10C to achieve optimum drying/curing characteristics.

Suitable substrates and preparation

NEW CONCRETE
Apply only to dry, well-prepared concrete after removal of loose cement laitance by scarifying or acid etching, then vacuuming. Apply the first coat as a sealer coat thinning 2 parts catalysed paint with 1 part Two Pack Epoxy Thinners, followed by one or two finishing coats leaving overnight to dry between coats.
PREVIOUSLY PAINTED FLOOR
Inspect the original coating for adhesion using a cross hatch test (cut an X in the coating with a sharp knife, apply strong adhesive tape over it and pull off sharply). If the paint is removed, blast or scarify the floor to remove the old coating. If the old paint remains intact then paint a test area to check the intercoat adhesion between old and new, leave for 48 hours to cure and repeat the cross-hatch test. If there is any failure then the floor should be thoroughly abraded and the test repeated. If the test area wrinkles or lifts then the coating will have to be removed before using Two Pack Epoxy Floor Paint.
