Watco Basics Floor Paint is a tough solvent based polyurethane formula which makes it ideal for general use. It can be applied over existing well bonded paint, or onto bare concrete, making cleaning easier. A separate unit of aggregate is supplied with Anti Slip Floor Paint, which is mixed into the paint to provide a finely textured slip resistant surface. For heavier wear areas, or areas where vehicles will be parked, we recommend a two-pack epoxy resin to resist ‘picking’ under parked car tyres.
Glossy, easy clean surface
For any concrete floor subject to light-medium use
Anti slip version includes a fine texture easy clean finish
Prepare
Clean and prepare bare concrete using Watco Basics Acid Etcher. This will remove light grease and oil deposits
To remove heavier grease and oil use Watco Basics Floor Cleaner. This can also be used to remove grease from existing paint
If over coating existing paint, please ensure it is well bonded. Remove any flaking or poorly bonded paint using a floor scraper for smaller areas or hire a grinder for larger areas. Smooth, glossy paint should be lightly abraded to provide a key
Make sure the surface is clean and dust free before continuing
Bare concrete must be porous to allow the first coat of paint to penetrate and key. If in doubt pour a small amount of water on the floor. If it soaks in, the concrete can be painted. If it beads up because the concrete is very smooth and dense, perhaps power floated, do not proceed, but refer instead to Watco Powerfloat Primer
New concrete should be at least 2 months old and the Acid Etcher used to reduce alkalinity
For repairs which need to be ‘feather edged’ to nothing, or for repairs to damaged joint edges, please refer to Watco Concrex epoxy resin repair mortar. This should also be used if repairing broken kerb edges or step nosings
Painting
Check the air temperature is around 15°C and the floor temperature at least 10°C
The surface must be dry
Stir the paint thoroughly
If using the Anti Slip Floor Paint, add the whole tin of aggregate to the 5L paint size, or half the tin to the 2.5L. Stir the aggregate thoroughly into the paint
Apply using a roller. Do not apply thickly
Use the roller to work the paint into the surface of bare concrete
A brush can be used for cutting in around the edges
Unsuitable for outside application, instead use Watco Fastcoat
Do not use in very slippery, wet, oily areas, instead see Watco Safety Grip
