ColourPicker Explained

In general we sort colours for products into 2 main groups - ‘Ready Mixed’ and ‘Tinted’.
Tinted colours will always be more expensive than Ready Mixed colours as they need to be produced at the time of order using a tinting machine dispensing colourant into a base*.
During busy periods, this means that tinted colours could take longer, for example – a ready mixed colour ordered on a 3-5 day delivery might arrive within 3 days, however a tinted colour might take the full 5 days to arrive.

To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options.

To ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1.

We make every effort to list all available colours, however we also offer a colour match service which can be accessed by contacting our Technical Team on 0113 245 5450 (option 2) or emailing [email protected]

*Colours are sold in the nearest tin size but actual paint volume per tin may vary up to 10% depending on colour

Colour reproduction of the Products on the Site is limited by the technology used to deliver web pages and by the colour representation of Customer’s own monitor and computer set-up. We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of our Products but we cannot guarantee that the colour shown on Customer’s monitor’s display will accurately reflect the colour of the Product on delivery. We recommend that Customer first purchases the smallest Product available or access an industry standard colour chart in person (and not digitally) to ensure that the colour is acceptable for its purposes.

Description

A highly advanced formulation that puts Epoxicote High Build into a class of its own. This one coat, high build, virtually solvent free epoxy resin floor coating, guarantees exceptional wear and offers superior protection for concrete floors. The ‘rapid’ versions cure within just 8 hours to withstand light traffic saving on downtime, whilst the ‘anti-slip’ versions provide a good level of slip resistance where needed. The anti-slip particles are suspended in the coating making it easy to use and leaves a uniform textured finish.

Epoxicote High Build Cold Cure can be applied in cold conditions and also comes in a slip resistant version.

All grades now carry CE Mark EN1504-2 and have impressive test results for hardness, abrasion, scratch, and impact resistance, as well as for adhesion, slip resistance and flexibility. They also offer superior chemical resistance, and have an A+ VOC emissions rating with a low level of VOC.

Surface Preparation

Bare Concrete – remove surface laitance, dust and any light dirt or grease deposits using Watco Etch & Clean. Watco Etch & Clean also etches smooth, bare concrete surfaces to provide a key. Flush with clean water and allow surface to dry. For the removal of heavier deposits of oil and grease we recommend Watco Concroff, again, flush with clean water and allow the surface to dry.

New Concrete – as a guide, new concrete should be left for eight weeks to dry (if the application has to go ahead before this, use Watco New Concrete Primer). The surface should then be prepared using Watco Etch & Clean and thoroughly rinsed away and left to dry prior to applying this coating.

Painted surfaces – abrade to remove any weak or loose paint. Check remaining paint is well bonded. Very smooth, glossy paint should be lightly abraded to provide a key. Watco Bio D can be used to remove grease and oil from painted surfaces. Watco Concroff is a very powerful degreaser for contaminated bare concrete, (do not use on a previously painted surface since it can soften paint).

Priming – Watco Epoxicote High Build Primer is recommended for bare concrete surfaces. It prevents air bubbles forming in Epoxicote High Build when painting open textured or porous concrete. Using this primer also promotes good adhesion when painting hard, smooth or power floated concrete.

Metal – remove any rust and flaking material by disc grinding or wire brushing. Apply the coating immediately after preparation to the clean metal surface. Grease or oil can be removed using Watco Bio D. Allow the metal to dry before coating.

Galvanised Metal – Watco Galvaprime must be used to prepare galvanised metal.

Non-ferrous Metals - for advice, please contact our Technical Department on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or send a message to [email protected].

Mixing

Remove the two inner tins from the tall outer tin. Stir the contents of each tin thoroughly and pour all of the contents into the outer tin, (scrape around the inside of the tins to remove any residue).

Mix the components together thoroughly using a spatula or similar wide bladed tool, (a piece of wooden batten is ideal) and do not thin. Continue mixing until an even colour and consistency are obtained. Do not mix more than one pack at a time.

If a paint stirrer fitted to an electric drill is used, also use the spatula to blend in any unmixed material from the sides and bottom of the tin.

In the anti-slip version the slip resistant particles are already pre-blended (in the Curing Agent).

Application

Important - once the contents of the pack have been mixed, a chemical reaction takes place which creates heat. The product should therefore be decanted into a shallow tray to avoid reducing the pot life and used straight away.

Best results are obtained in warm (minimum of 15°C), dry conditions with good ventilation.

Apply one coat with a medium pile roller, (not foam), working well into the surface of the concrete.

On vertical surfaces 2 thin coats are recommended.

Do not exceed the maximum coverage of 18m² per 4 litre pack.

Do not wash or allow water to lie on the surface for at least 7 days.
