Tikkurila Temafloor 150 is an epoxy paint with good hiding power. The product is used for new and old concrete floors exposed to chemical and mechanical stresses.

The painted surface resists moderate chemical stress and mechanical abrasion, making it ideal for floors in the food processing, brewing and pharmaceutical industries as well as in many other production facilities.

Temafloor 150 can also be used for coating asphalt floors.

For industrial and professional use only.

Features & Benefits

• Huge colour range available from RAL, BS & NCS
• A solvent-free epoxy paint for floors indoors and outdoors.
• Recommended for floors exposed to moderate chemical and mechanical stress in industrial and storage facilities, repair shops etc.
• Withstands +70ºC dry heat and +60ºC in immersion.
• For new and old concrete floors and for surfaces previously treated with epoxy paints.
• Temafloor Flex hardener makes the paint surface flexible and thus more resistant to cracking
  • Flex Hardener is available separately as POA subject to a 14 day lead time - please contact our sales team on 0113 2455450 or [email protected] to discuss your project requirements
• Suitable for coating of asphalt floors, floors of garages, staircases, balconies, washing facilities, cellars etc.
• For industrial and professional use only

Technical Data

• Volume Solids: Approx. 100%
• Specific Gravity: 1.7 kg/litre (mixture)
• Pot Life (23℃): Approx. 20 minutes after mixing, on substrate

Practical Coverage:

Coverage on concrete floors is on average:

• Priming - 4–6 m²/l
• Finishing - 6–8 m²/l

Practical coverage depends on the porosity and evenness of the substrate and on the application method.

Mixing Ratio:

• Base - 4 parts by volume - Temafloor 150
• Hardener - 1 part by volume - Temafloor 150 Hardener

Alternatively:

• Base - 2 parts by volume - Temafloor 150
• Flex hardener - 1 part by volume - Temafloor Flex Hardener

Flex hardener available seperately; please contact our sales team on 0113 2455450 or [email protected] to discuss your project requirements.

Drying Time (23℃)

• Dust dry after 4 hours
• Recoatable after 8 hours - 2 days
• Light trucking after 24 hours
• Fully cured after 7 days

At lower temperature the curing process will last longer.

With Temafloor Flex hardener the curing times are a little longer than with standard hardener.

Surface Preparation

New Concrete

• Remove laitance by power grinding or hydrochloric acid etching.
• Choose the method best suited for the premises.
• After grinding remove dust carefully with a vacuum cleaner.
• Hydrochloric acid etching is carried out with diluted hydrochloric acid (1 part concentrated hydrochloric acid, 4 parts water).
• Rinse with plenty of water.
• Dry the surface.

Old Concrete

• Remove all grease, oil, chemicals and other impurities by Maalipesu detergent.
• Remove old peeling paint layer by grinding.
• Choose the method best suited for the premises.
• Clean out pot-holes removing all loose friable material.
• Open cracks with e.g. an abrasive tool.
• Remove loose material and dust.

If cementitious screed is used, check compatibility with the levelling screed manufacturer.

Application Conditions

• The relative humidity of the concrete should not exceed 97%.
• The temperature of the ambient air, surface or coating should not fall below +15ºC during application or drying.
• Relative humidity of air should not exceed 80%.

Note! There is a natural tendency of this coating to chalk, discolor or yellow unevenly. It is recommended to use polyurethane topcoat when there are high aesthetical requirements on colour appearance.

Mixing Components

• First stir base and hardener separately.
• Mix the correct proportions of base and hardener thoroughly (approx. 3 minutes to get homogenous mixture) by using a low speed industrial hand drill with a paddle.
• Use power mixer for mixing.
• Insufficient mixing or incorrect mixing ratio will result in uneven drying of the surface, weaken the properties of the coating and risk the success of the application.

Application

Priming:

• Prime using 10–30 % thinned Temafloor 150 epoxy paint. Pour the mixture onto the floor, apply with a rubber trowel and level with a roller.
• If necessary, repeat priming to get a non-porous surface. A porous priming coat will result in holes and air bubbles in the finished coating.

Patching:

• Patch pot-holes and cracks with Colofill putty or a mixture of unthinned Temafloor 150 epoxy paint or Temafloor 200 Primer or 210 epoxy varnish and dry, clean sand.
• Mixing ratio e.g. 1 part by volume of epoxy paint or varnish mixture and 1–2 parts by volume of sand of grain size 0.1–0.6 mm.
• Sand the patched areas before overcoating, if necessary.
• Note! Concrete surface should always be primed before patching.

Topcoating:

• Overcoating should be done within 8–48 hrs after priming.
• If the primed surface is not overcoated within 48 hrs, it should be abraded.
• The paint should be thinned 5–20 %. Pour the mixture onto the floor and apply it with a trowel and level with a roller.
• Note! Add the remaining mixture to the next batch of the product, do not scrape it out of the container onto the floor.
