Coo-Var Acrylic Floor Paint

Surface Preparation

All surfaces should be clean, dry, sound and free from contaminants. Concrete – power floated, granolithic and smooth surfaces should be roughened first to provide a good “key” for the paint. This is done mechanically by abrading or blasting, or chemically, using Coo-Var Acid Etch. These processes will have the advantage in addition to preparing the surface of also removing dirt and laitance.

New concrete must be allowed to cure thoroughly which can take up to 3 months. Other surfaces have to be prepared and primed with the suitable primer for that substrate.

Existing painted surfaces – Clean, degrease and sand the surface to ensure an adequate “key”. Remove all loose and flaking material and treat bare areas as a new surface.

Application Conditions

Mix well before use.

As dictated by normal good painting practice. Do not apply if the temperature is likely to drop below 7 °C during application or during the drying process. In confined spaces, provide adequate ventilation during application and drying.

A site assessment is an important component in determining the slip risk of any given floor; the environment, contamination substances, types of footwear and likely pedestrian behaviour can all affect the actual figures achieved during application. An onsite verification may be necessary to determine.
