Axalta ViterFloor 276 Floor Paint is a single pack polyurethane floor coating for general purpose and light traffic areas.

Axalta ViterFloor 276 Floor Paint is an economic, easily applied floor coating for concrete and wooden floors. It has a mild solvent blend to minimise reaction with existing floor coatings and minimise the lifting of old coating edges.

For use as an easy to use maintenance paint for light duty areas in shops, warehouses and industrial plant. Brush or roller application for easy routine floor repainting.

Surface Preparation

• All surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, laitance, dust and other contamination

Bare Concrete:

• Remove dirt and contamination by detergent washing, flame cleaning or other appropriate means
• For the best long term coating life, laitance should be removed by vacuum blast cleaning (recommended), power grinding or acid etching
• If acid etching, more than one application may be required to produce a granular surface suitable for good adhesion
• Vacuum blast cleaning should produce a surface profile appropriate to the thickness of the coating being applied
• If laitance is not removed, it can detach in service along with the coating, leaving patchy areas of bare concrete

Previously Painted Floors:

• Abrading (as well as thoroughly cleaning) the existing coating is always recommended to optimise adhesion
• As ViterFloor 276 has a mild solvent blend, there should be minimal reaction with existing coatings such as the lifting of old coating edges
• A test area is recommended to confirm compatibility and that adequate adhesion can been achieved

Wood Floors:

• Punch all nail heads down below the surface
• Sand the surface down to clean, smooth wood using an industrial vacuum sander, cutting-in at edges with a hand sander
• To give a smooth finish it is recommended to also lightly sand and vacuum between coats

Steel Floors:

• Please consult Axalta Coating Systems or Rawlins Paints Technical Department on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or send a message to [email protected] for more information

Mixing

• Must be mixed thoroughly by using a mechanical agitator before use
• Agitate periodically during use to ensure product remains homogeneous

Thinner

Thinner

• Axalta 1050 Thinner

Equipment Cleaner

• Axalta 1050 Thinner

Application Conditions

• The concrete surface must be dry and at least 12 weeks old
• The moisture content of the concrete should not exceed 6% when measured 25mm below the surface (with e.g. a Protimeter measuring in 25mm drilled holes filled with gel), or 14% when measured with a surface moisture gauge (such as a Protimeter WME (Wood Moisture Equivalent) gauge)
• Only apply in conditions of good ventilation which must be maintained during drying and curing
• Do not apply when rain, mist, sleet or snow are imminent
• During application and drying time of the paint coating, the surface should be dry, the relative humidity should not exceed 85% and the steel temperature should remain at least 3°C above the dew point
• Only apply this product when the above conditions can be maintained throughout the critical application and drying/curing process
• Paint temperature should ideally be at a minimum of 15ºC

Application Methods

• This product is designed for brush or roller application

Product Notes

• Priming: Prime bare concrete areas by thinning the first coat of ViterFloor 276 with 10-20% of 1050 Thinner to act as a sealer
• Overcoating: Overcoat either wet-on-wet, or after a minimum of 16 hours at 20ºC. After 3 days at 20ºC, light abrasion will be necessary in order to achieve optimum adhesion
• Anti-Slip: Dependent on the degree of anti-slip required, aggregate can be broadcast onto the wet coating surface (of a full, unthinned coat) and allowed to dry. Surplus non-adhering particles should then be brushed off and further coats of ViterFloor 276 applied to encapsulate the particles
• Some shades may contain lead-based colourants and these are labelled (L)

Health & Safety

• Containers are provided with safety labels which should be observed
• Further information about hazardous influences and protection are detailed in individual Product Safety Data Sheets
