Rust-Oleum 5500 Solvent Free Epoxy
High build, solvent-free epoxy floor paint for garages, warehouses, showrooms, corridors, indoor car parks, workshops etc. Optimal protection in only one or two layers.
- High build coating (150 microns), very durable
- Suitable for frequent cleaning with chemicals
- Excellent resistance against immersion; can be used in swimming pools
- Resistant to oils, solvents and many chemicals
- Class 1 surface spread of flame - BS 476 part 7
Applications
5500 is designed for application on concrete and masonry and can also be used on blasted steel, primarily intended for roller application and may also be applied by brush for small areas or touch-up only. A two coat 5500 System assures appropriate protection when in contact with chemicals (see chemical resistance guide), frequent chemical cleaning or high humidity and moisture conditions. Can be applied directly on properly cleaned, sound mineral substrates, sound, well prepared previous Epoxy coatings; porous substrates should be primed with Rust-Oleum 5401 Epoxy Impregnation Primer or Rust-Oleum 5421 Epoxy Floor Primer Rapid; very dense substrates, like ceramic tiles, should be primed with Rust-Oleum 3333 Super Adhesion Primer or Rust-Oleum 3366 Epoxy Powerfloat Floor Primer Rapid. 5500 can be applied directly on blasted steel or blasted galvanised steel; if required primed with Rust-Oleum 9170 Epoxy Metal Primer/Rust-Oleum 9180 Epoxy Metal Primer

Practical Consumption
Practical coverage depends on many factors such as porosity and roughness of the substrate and material losses during application.
Further application and technical instructions can be found on the product data sheet.
After application the coated surface becomes as hard and dense as ceramic tiles. Provides excellent protection against detergents, animal fats, water, brine and other harsh liquids as encountered in food plants. The smooth, tile-like finish is very suitable for daily cleaning and scrubbings.
