Professional Application Guide
- Surface Preparation (Critical): Remove all oil, grease, dirt, laitance, and loose material. Degrease with industrial degreaser. Concrete must be fully cured (minimum 28 days), dry (<4% moisture), and sound. Shot-blast, grind, or acid-etch to achieve CSP-2 to CSP-3 profile for optimal adhesion.
- Crack & Damage Repair: Fill cracks, spalls, and holes with epoxy or polyurethane concrete repair compound. Allow to cure fully before coating. Expansion joints should remain flexible – do not coat over.
- Priming (Recommended): Apply Pre-Seal primer to porous, dusty, or weak concrete substrates. Primer seals surface, improves adhesion, and reduces coating absorption. Allow 4-6 hours cure before topcoat.
- Mixing: Stir thoroughly for 3-4 minutes before use and periodically during application. Do not thin – formulated for optimal viscosity and anti-slip aggregate suspension.
- First Coat Application: Apply by brush (stiff synthetic bristle), roller (12mm medium-pile), or airless spray (0.021-0.025" tip, 2500-3000 PSI). Apply generous, even coat. Maintain wet edge. Work in 2m x 2m sections.
- Second Coat Application: After 16-24 hours, apply second coat perpendicular to first coat direction for optimal coverage and anti-slip performance. Ensure complete coverage with no thin areas.
- Curing & Protection: Keep area well-ventilated. Protect from moisture, dust, and traffic for 24 hours minimum. Avoid heavy use for 7 days. Temperature and humidity affect cure times – cooler conditions extend cure.

Coverage & Pack Size Guide
| Floor Area | 20L Coverage | Coats |
|---|---|---|
| 80-100 m² | 2 coats (recommended) | Standard garage or workshop |
| 160-200 m² | 1 coat | Large warehouse section (primer + 1 topcoat) |

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I really need to prime the concrete first?
- Priming is highly recommended for porous, dusty, or weak concrete. The Pre-Seal primer seals the surface, improves adhesion, and reduces topcoat absorption (saving money). On dense, power-floated concrete in good condition, you may skip primer, but test a small area first. For best results and warranty compliance, always prime.
- How does the anti-slip texture work?
- The coating contains integral aggregate particles that create a textured, non-slip surface when applied. The texture is permanent (not a separate grit broadcast) and provides R10 slip resistance rating. The finish is semi-gloss with visible texture – not smooth like standard floor paint.
- Can I apply this over existing floor paint?
- Yes, if the existing coating is sound, well-adhered, and compatible (epoxy or polyurethane). Thoroughly clean and abrade the surface with 60-80 grit to provide a key. Test a small area first. Remove any flaking, peeling, or incompatible coatings completely before application.
- Will this paint stop my concrete from dusting?
- Yes. The polyurethane coating seals the concrete surface completely, preventing dust generation and improving cleanability. This is one of the primary benefits for garage and workshop floors.
- How long before I can drive on it?
- Light foot traffic after 24 hours. Light vehicle traffic (cars, vans) after 48 hours. Heavy traffic (forklifts, HGVs) after 72 hours. Full chemical resistance and maximum hardness after 7 days. Cooler temperatures extend cure times – add 50% to cure times below 15°C.
- What's the difference between this and epoxy floor paint?
- Polyurethane offers superior UV resistance (won't yellow in sunlight), better flexibility (resists cracking from ground movement), easier application (single-pack, no mixing), and similar durability. Epoxy offers slightly better chemical resistance but yellows in sunlight and requires two-pack mixing. For garages with windows or natural light, polyurethane is the better choice.
- Can I use this in a commercial car park?
- Yes, it's ideal for multi-storey car parks and parking structures. The anti-slip finish provides safety in wet conditions, and the UV-stable formula won't yellow under skylights or open areas. Use grey shades for general parking, yellow for safety zones, and white for line marking.
- How do I calculate how much paint I need?
- Measure your floor area in m². Divide by 8 (conservative coverage rate). Multiply by 2 (for 2 coats). Add 15% for wastage. Example: 100m² floor ÷ 8 = 12.5L per coat × 2 coats = 25L total + 15% = 29L required. Order two 20L tins (40L total) to ensure coverage.
- Is this suitable for outdoor use?
- Yes, the UV-stable formula is suitable for covered outdoor areas, canopies, and sheltered locations. Not recommended for fully exposed outdoor areas subject to standing water, freeze-thaw cycles, or extreme weather – use specialist external floor coating for these applications.
