Crown Two-Pack Epoxy Floor Paint

Product Description & uses: A high performance coating supplied in two-pack form offering maximum resistance to pedestrian and vehicular traffic. It forms a tough impervious film and is recommended for use where continual wetting and cleaning processes are being used. Recommended for use on concrete floors in chemical plants, laboratories, hospitals, dairies, breweries, food factories, bottling plants, vehicle showrooms etc.

Its excellent chemical resistance withstands all types of detergents, bleaches, weak solutions of acids and alkalis (10%), fats, oils, fruit juices and various types of solvents.

Do not apply Crown Two-Pack Epoxy Floor Paint over previously painted surfaces (see “specification”) or to new concrete floor screeds until they have fully cured/dried out.

The two-pack product, which is mixed shortly before use with the catalyst/hardener, does not attain maximum hardness and chemical resistance until 4 -5 days after application (at a temperature of 18°C/65°F).

Characteristics: Manufactured from high quality inert pigments finely ground in a combination of epoxy resins.

Advantages: Abrasion, chemical and solvent resistant decorative finish.

Finish: Gloss.

Application: By brush, roller or spray (when applying by spray, facemasks must be worn).

Thinning & Mixing: The two components (base and catalyst) must be mixed together to produce 4 litres of material, alternatively smaller quantities can be mixed strictly in accordance with the mixing ratios indicated on the container. Stir well and allow standing for 15-20 minutes before use. Thin the 1st coat approximately 20% with Crown Two-Pack Epoxy Thinners to ease brushing and to improve adhesion with the floor screed.

Note: As the “pot-life” of the mixed material is limited to about 12 hours, care should be taken to avoid mixing more material than can be used during one working day.

Drying Times: Surface dry: 2-3 hours. Hard dry/recoatable: 16 hours. Do not leave longer than 96 hours between coats to avoid adhesion problems. Film attains maximum resistance and hardness after approximately 4 -5 days.

Spreading Capacity: 8-10 m²/l when applied to smooth non-porous surfaces.

Equipment Cleaner: Crown Two-Pack Epoxy Thinners.

Colour range: Grey, Red Oxide and Green.

Chemical resistance: Resistant to mild acids, alkalis, water, fats and oils.

Pack Sizes: 4 litres (base and catalyst combined).

Availability: From Crown Depots in Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu or through Crown Stockists.

SPECIFICATIONS:

New (dry) Cement floor screeds and unpainted Plaster, Brick, Stone Surfaces: Prepare surface (refer Data Sheet SP 1). Apply 4 coats Crown Two-pack Epoxy Floor Paint, thinning the first coat to ease application on porous surface.

Previously Painted Surfaces in Sound Condition: Generally, Crown Two-Pack Epoxy Floor Paint should not be applied over previously painted surfaces, particularly over gloss and eggshell enamel paints due to the danger of the coating peeling off.

However, after thorough preparation and abrasion of the surface to form a key, Crown Epoxy Floor Paint can be applied over surfaces previously painted with a similar product. Care must be taken to guarantee good inter-coat adhesion.
