Watco Flexicoat is a polyaspartic coating designed for floors which may be subject to slight movement or cracking. Polyaspartic paint technology means coatings deliver higher performance such as improved durability (strength, flexibility, and resistance), the ability for the paint to dry at extremely low temperatures and to cure very rapidly too.
Outstanding scratch and chemical resistance and exceptional resistance to UV fading
Unlike epoxy coatings, polyaspartics have increased flexible properties making them the right choice for industrial floors needing incredibly strong and long-lasting protection.
Floors which can move slightly due to vibrating machinery
Floors which expand due to heat and moisture
Plant/Boiler rooms or bund areas where equipment may leak
Flexible mezzanine floors
External areas
Fills and bridges small cracks to cut preparation time
Helps suppress noise
More comfortable underfoot
Excellent chemical resistance
Good waterproofing properties - ideal as a flexible, waterproof coating
Low solvent content formula is virtually odourless during application
Can be steam cleaned
Good UV resistance
Surface Preparation
Concrete - Concrete to be treated must be at least four weeks old, completely dry and free of surface laitance, contaminants and any previous poorly bonded coatings. All traces of grease or oil should be removed with Watco Bio-D and the area thoroughly washed off and allowed to dry. Very smooth concrete or concrete with surface liatance should be etched with Watco Etch & Clean.
Stone - Stone should be dry and free of all loose material and contaminants.
Painted Surfaces - Previously painted surfaces should be thoroughly abraded by sanding to improve adhesion and remove any weak or loose material. A trail area is advisable to test compatibility with previous coatings.
Bare Metal - Remove any rust and flaking material by disc grinding or wire brushing. Apply the coating immediately after preparation to the clean metal surface. Grease or ol can be removed using Watco Bio-D. Allow the metal to dry before coating. Galvanised metal should be treated with Watco Galvaprime.
Applicaton
The tall outer tin contains a tin of resin and a tin of curing agent. Remove these two tins and stir the contents of each thoroughly (the Watco Paint Mixer is ideal for mixing two part products). Decant both tins into the tall outer tin. The two components should then be very thoroughly mixed together using a wide blade stirrer. A wooden batten at least 25mm wide is ideal. Mix for 2-3 minutes until an even colour and consistency is obstained.
Best results are achieved in warm (minimum 10-15C) dry conditions with good ventilation. Apply by simulated sheepskin roller. A paintbrush may be used for cutting in. Leave approx. 8-12 hours if recoating is required.
