    Recommended Uses

    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 can be 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 - Surfaces should be cleaned, degreased and sanded to ensure an adequate "key" is produced. Remove all loose and flaking material and treat bare areas as new substrate and prepare accordingly.

    Preceding Coat

    Coo-Var Penetrating Wood Primer on wood, Coo-Var Zinc Phosphate Metal Primer on ferrous metals, 10% thinned Coo-Var Floor Paint or CooVar Alkali Resisting Primer on concrete.

    Subsequent Coat

    Coo-Var Floor Paint.

    Question: 

    We painted Coo Var solvent based floor paint throughout the house nine years ago. It has lasted extremely well (better than anything I've ever used before - not even a scratch on stairs!) but now needs refreshing here and there. I'm looking to avoid the fumes, so can we use Coo Var acrylic floor paint on top (after sanding, of course)? Would it bond to the original floor paint? If not, we'll use the original.

    Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

    Assuming the previously painted surfaces are clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the Technical Data sheet we can recommend Coo-Var Acrylic Floor Paint as a low odour alternative.

    This can be applied over most previously applied coatings, but we would recommending testing for compatibility and adhesion prior to full application.

    Question: 

    I have a new build house with a garage. The floor is basically a layer of dusty lumpy concrete. Once swept can I just paint directly onto the floor?

    Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

    No, for application to concrete - power floated, granolithic and smooth surfaces should be roughened first to provide a good "key" for the paint.

    This can be 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.

    The paint will mirror the profile of the substrate as such will not hide imperfections.

    Question: 

    What paint is healthy and safe to use on bedroom floor boards

    Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

    'healthy and safe' is a broad statement and relatively vague as to what you require here but something like Coo-Var Acrylic Floor Paint would likely be a more suitable product to consider as this is water based and low odour.

    questions Dianne Chlebek on 2019-04-28 16:13:33
    Question: 

    Can I use this on floor tiles. In a porch area.

    Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

    No, assuming they are glazed tiles we would instead recommend Smartkote Protectakote Clear Primer Treatment followed by Smartkote Safekote.

    Question: 

    would this product be adversely affected if a vehicle with hot/wet tyres is parked on it

    Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

    Providing that the concrete being painted is structurally sound, and the concrete has been prepared and product applied following the proper procedure (see product data sheet) hot tyre syndrome should not be an issue. However, we do always recommend the use of Coo-Var Profloor 2 Pack Epoxy Floor Paint in place of Coo-Var Floor Paint where vehicle traffic is expected as this would offer a far more robust and durable solution.

    Question: 

    Regarding floor paint is it slippery when wet please as I want to use it on my outdoor concrete paths?

    Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:

    Question: 

    Can this product be used on external patio ?

    Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

    Coo-Var Floor Paint can be used internally and externally and assuming the patio is concrete, paving slabs or similar porous masonry substrate then this would be OK. Follow preparation guidelines on the product data sheet and apply the first coat of Coo-Var Floor Paint thinned 10% with Teamac/Coo-Var Thinner 14, then apply a second coat when dry, undiluted.

    questions Owen on 2017-09-27 01:45:05
    Question: What sealant/primer do you recommend to use prior to the application of this paint on fully cured but previously untreated concrete?
    Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

    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 can be 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.

    To prime prepared, bare concrete use Coo-Var Floor Paint thinned 10% or Coo-Var Alkali Resisting Primer.
