Application

Ensure the surface to be painted is sound, clean, dry and free from grease or any substance liable to give adhesion problems. Scrape off any old or flaking paint until you have a firm surface. Special attention should be given to areas under cars to ensure all oil, grease, dirt and road salt is removed. New concrete must be left for at least 6 months before applying Blackfriar Professional Water Based Epoxy Floor Paint. For previously painted areas ensure existing coatings are well adhered to the substrate and mechanically abrade glossy surfaces.

Stir the base thoroughly before adding all the activator then mix well. DO NOT MIX PART UNITS. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before using. Pot life is 2 hours at 20°C. Apply with a brush or roller working the paint in any surface imperfections. On bare or new surfaces first apply Blackfriar Professional Water Based Epoxy Floor Primer followed by 1-2 coats of Blackfriar Professional Water Based Epoxy Floor Paint. On previously painted surfaces apply 1-2 coats as required.

Blackfriar Professional Water Based Epoxy Floor Paint is not suitable for use over PVC, thermoplastic tiles, quarry tiles, or granolithic concrete. Do not apply it on concrete surfaces treated with alkali containing liquids, areas subjected to rising damp or areas treated with PVA bonding solutions. Do not apply in cold (below 15°C), damp or humid conditions. If concrete floors are very smooth then pre-treat with Blackfriar Professional Acid Etch followed after thorough rinsing by Blackfriar Professional Water Based Epoxy Floor Primer prior to applying 1-2 coats of Blackfriar Professional Water Based Epoxy Floor Paint. Surfaces are slippery when wet. To ensure slip resistance the floor must be kept dry when in use. The use of protective mats will help preserve the surface under tyres.
