Professional Application Guide
- Surface Preparation (Critical): Remove all oil, grease, dirt, laitance, and contamination. Industrial degreasing essential. Concrete must be fully cured (minimum 28 days), dry (<4% moisture), and structurally sound. Shot-blast or grind to achieve CSP-3 to CSP-4 profile for maximum adhesion in high-traffic areas.
- Structural Repairs: Fill cracks, spalls, and damaged areas with high-strength epoxy or polyurethane concrete repair compound. Allow full cure before coating. Expansion joints must remain flexible – mask and do not coat over.
- Priming (Mandatory for Industrial Use): Apply Pre-Seal primer to all concrete substrates. Primer seals surface, improves adhesion, reduces coating absorption, and ensures maximum bond strength. Allow 4-6 hours cure before topcoat application.
- Mixing: Stir thoroughly for 3-5 minutes before use and periodically during application. High-build formulation requires vigorous mixing to suspend aggregate evenly. Do not thin – formulated for optimal viscosity and non-slip performance.
- First Coat Application: Apply by brush (stiff synthetic bristle), roller (12-15mm heavy-duty pile), or airless spray (0.023-0.027" tip, 3000-3500 PSI). Apply generous, even coat working in 2m x 2m sections. Maintain wet edge to avoid lap marks.
- Second Coat Application: After 16-24 hours, apply second coat perpendicular to first coat direction for optimal coverage, impact resistance, and non-slip performance. Ensure complete coverage with no thin areas or holidays.
- Curing & Protection: Maintain good ventilation. Protect from moisture, dust, and traffic for 24 hours minimum. Avoid light traffic for 48 hours. No heavy industrial use for 7 days. Temperature and humidity significantly affect cure times – extend cure periods in cooler conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes Supercoat different from standard garage floor paint?
- Supercoat is a factory-grade industrial coating with superior impact resistance, higher slip resistance rating (R11 vs R10), thicker film build (120-180 microns vs 80-100 microns), and significantly better abrasion resistance. It's engineered for forklift traffic, dropped loads, and extreme industrial use – not light domestic garage use. The lifespan is 10-15 years vs 2-5 years for standard garage paint.
- Do I need to prime industrial concrete before applying Supercoat?
- Yes, priming is mandatory for industrial applications. The Pre-Seal primer seals porous concrete, improves adhesion, reduces coating absorption, and ensures maximum bond strength under heavy traffic. Skipping primer in industrial environments significantly reduces coating lifespan and can lead to premature failure. For warranty compliance, always prime.
- Can forklifts drive on this coating?
- Yes, Supercoat is specifically designed for forklift traffic including electric, diesel, and LPG forklifts. Allow 48 hours before light forklift use, 7 days before full industrial operations. The high-impact formula and thick film build resist point loads, turning forces, and steel wheel abrasion that destroys standard floor paints.
- How do I calculate coverage for a large warehouse?
- Measure total floor area in m². Use conservative 8 m²/L coverage rate for industrial concrete. Multiply by 2 for two coats. Add 20% for wastage and repairs. Example: 500m² warehouse ÷ 8 = 62.5L per coat × 2 = 125L total + 20% = 150L required. Order eight 20L tins (160L total). Don't forget primer – same coverage calculation.
- What colours are best for warehouse safety zoning?
- Follow HSE guidance: Grey for general traffic areas, Yellow for forklift routes and caution zones, Green for pedestrian walkways and safe zones, Red for restricted areas and fire equipment zones, Blue for quality control or clean areas, White for line marking and aisle designation. Use high-contrast combinations for maximum visibility.
- Can this be applied over existing epoxy floor coating?
- Yes, if the existing epoxy is sound, well-adhered, and fully cured. Thoroughly clean and abrade the surface with 40-60 grit to provide mechanical key. Test a small area first (1m²) and allow 7 days to verify adhesion. Remove any flaking, peeling, or incompatible coatings completely. For critical applications, consider full removal and fresh application.
- How long before we can resume full warehouse operations?
- Light foot traffic: 24 hours. Light vehicle traffic (vans, cars): 48 hours. Forklift operations: 48-72 hours. Full industrial use with heavy loads: 7 days. Full chemical resistance: 7 days. Plan installation during shutdown periods or work in phases to maintain partial operations. Cooler temperatures extend cure times – add 50% below 15°C.
- Is this suitable for cold storage or refrigerated warehouses?
- Yes, once fully cured, Supercoat performs well in cold storage down to -30°C. However, application must occur at +10°C to +25°C. For refrigerated facilities, apply coating before cold storage activation, or temporarily heat the area during application and cure. Consult technical support for cold storage projects.
- What's the best way to maintain the coating in high-traffic areas?
- Daily sweeping or scrubbing to remove abrasive grit. Weekly degreasing of oil-contaminated areas. Monthly pressure washing of entire floor. Immediate cleanup of chemical spills. Annual inspection for damage with touch-up repairs as needed. Proper maintenance can extend lifespan from 10 years to 15+ years.
