Description
304 WG HD Epoxy Floor Coating is a fast curing two-pack solvent-free high-build epoxy resin system that offers faster drying times in lower temperatures or when a fast return to service is required, for application as a heavy duty floor coating for concrete, steel and other substrates.
304 WG HD Epoxy Floor Coating is supplied as a two-pack system, comprising pre-weighed amounts of base and curing agent. After mixing, an easily applied chemical and abrasion resistant finish is produced with fast curing characteristics to which anti-slip aggregate can be added if required (see ‘Slip Resistance’).

Slip Resistance
Should a non-slip finish be required, 508 Fine Particle Anti-Slip Additive can be added to the coating (200g per 5kg of 304 WG HD Epoxy Floor Coating) during mixing prior to application to produce an even and easily cleanable texture to the dried surface.
Alternatively, if a more aggressive anti-slip finish is required 504 Standard Anti-Slip Additive or 505 Large Anti-Slip Additive can be scattered onto the first coat of 304 WG HD Epoxy Floor Coating whilst still wet (approximately 1-2kg of additive per 5kg of coating). The following day any excess aggregate may be swept from the surface using a clean brush prior to application of the second coat to ‘sandwich’ the anti-slip additive.
NOTE: For our ultimate slip resistance see 502 HD Anti-Slip Coating.
Coverage
- A 5kg pack is sufficient to treat 8.3-10.0 m² of surface with the recommended two coat treatment, providing an overall d.f.t. of 400-450 microns
Surface Preparation
Concrete:
- Concrete shall be a minimum of 21 days old and/or the residual moisture content shall be below 6%
- Ensure that the concrete is clean and free from dust, laitance, grease, oil, curing compound, and existing paint finishes
- Blow holes and defective concrete shall be made good using 201 Epoxy Repair Mortar
- Suitable mechanical treatment such as vacuum grit blasting is the preferred treatment prior to application as this ensures a mechanical ‘key’ for the coating
- A primer coat of 401 WG Epoxy Floor Primer @ 0.2kg/m², is recommended for absorbent concrete surfaces
- Allow to dry for a minimum of 2 hours @ 20°C prior to overcoating
Steel:
- Steel surfaces shall be shot blasted or grit blasted to a nominal Sa 2.5 Swedish standard
- All dust and grease shall be removed prior to coating application
- If a delay is likely to occur between blasting and application, then it is recommended that a coat of 404 Epoxy Metal Primer is applied as holding primer to obviate flash rusting
Note: Substrates with high moisture content or oil contamination can still be coated in most instances by the inclusion of one of our specialist primers. Please see 402 Damp Proof Coating and 403 Oil Tolerant Primer for full details.
Mixing:
- Pour the contents of the curing agent container into the base container and thoroughly mix, preferably by mechanical means until a uniform colour is achieved
Mixing Ratio:
- By Volume = 2.56 Base: 1 Curing Agent
- By Weight = 100 Base: 26.9 Curing Agent
Application
- Apply by brush, roller or airless spray at a nominal rate of 0.25 to 0.3kg/m²
- Can be applied between 5°C - 25°C
- Allow to cure for a minimum of 4 hours @ 20°C prior to light foot traffic access and 10 hours @ 20°C prior to vehicular trafficking.
- Should a non-slip finish be required, refer to the ‘Slip Resistance’ heading
Cleaning
Curing
- Allow to cure for a minimum of 4 hours @ 20°C prior to light foot traffic access and 10 hours @ 20°C prior to vehicular trafficking
- 3 days cure @ 20°C is recommended prior to exposure to chemicals
Storage & Shelf Life
- Store in dry conditions, out of direct sunlight, at temperatures between 10°C and 25°C
- 304 WG HD Epoxy Floor Coating has a minimum shelf life of 12 months when stored in original, unopened containers in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions
Health & Safety
- Avoid contact of the material with skin and eyes
- Wear gloves and goggles
- Wash off splashes immediately with soap and water
- Any eye contamination must be rapidly irrigated with copious amounts of clean water, and immediate medical attention sought
- Please refer to Material Safety Data Sheet for additional information
- 304 WG HD Epoxy Floor Coating shall be applied strictly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
