    Description

    Watco Fastcoat is a new type of resin formulation that significantly reduces the time taken to paint a floor and put it back into use. Uniquely developed by Watco’s paint chemists, this formulation has only been made possible by recent developments in polyaspartic resin technology. This high performance coating is suitable for heavily used areas inside and outside. Fastcoat is also available in an anti slip finish, which has a finely textured, easy clean surface. Both Fastcoat and Fastcoat Anti Slip carry CE Mark EN1504-2 and have impressive test results for abrasion and impact resistance, as well as for adhesion and hardness.

    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 the 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. 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 and check remaining paint is well bonded. 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).

    Application in low temperatures – If applying in cold conditions the product should ideally be stored in a warm room at least 8 hours prior to use. Below 5°C it may be necessary to avoid processes which involve wetting the floor due to the difficulty in drying. A good sweep or mechanical brushing may be sufficient. The viscosity will be somewhat thicker at very low temperatures, reducing coverage a little.

    Priming – is not usually required, but for open textured, or very porous high suction surfaces, such as sand and cement screed, use Watco Polyaspartic Primer to ensure a uniform finish and to prevent air entrapment bubbles.

    Metal – remove any rust or 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 MetalWatco Galvaprime must be used to prepare galvanised metal.

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

    Wood – must be sound, clean and dry. If applying the anti slip version to ridged decking, please ensure that the grit particles are spread evenly across the surface.



    Mixing


    Mix between 10°C and 25°C. Remove the two inner tins from the tall outer tin. Stir 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). If using the anti slip version, add the polymer additive at this stage. 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 side and bottom of the tin. Do not dilute.



    Application


    Apply between -10°C and 25°C. Empty the mixed components into a paint tray and apply to the floor using a short pile roller, (not a medium pile or foam), ‘working out’ the coating into a thin paint film. A paint brush can be used for cutting in. Do not apply the paint too thickly since this will result in reduced coverage. A feature of polyaspartic coatings is that they should be applied as a thin film. The second coat should be applied as soon as the first coat is dry (generally 4 hours at 20°C), but it must be applied within 5 days. If more than 5 days elapse, the first coat should be lightly abraded. Avoid washing the surface for 7 days.



    Test Results


    • Adhesion test: using the Cross-Cut test method, Fastcoat is Class 0. (class 0 is the highest, class 5 is lowest)
    • Wolff Wilborn Hardness Test: Fastcoat is rated 7H
    • Gloss Value: 95 - Measured on an Optical Glossmeter, +85% is High Gloss
    • Chemical resistance: Good chemical resistance against the most common chemicals
    • Excellent flexibility: rated 2mm using a Mandrel Flex Tester ISO1519. 2mm is the lowest, 36mm the highest
    • Excellent slip resistance in wet conditions when tested to BS7976-2 - Fastcoat Anti Slip has a PTV value of 69. A number above 36 indicates a low slip potential



    Limitations


    • Do not apply to damp surfaces
    • When used outside, Fastcoat will seal the substrate and in poorly drained areas puddling could occur potentially creating a slippery surface, in such case use Fastcoat Anti Slip
    • Do not apply if rainfall is imminent
    • Do not apply to power floated concrete
    • Most self-levelling compounds cannot be painted. Painting chequer paint can be a problem since coatings can wear prematurely off the ‘high spots’
