Acron Paints
Polyfloor
Product Function
This type of floor paint is ideal for wooden and concrete floors both internally and externally. It is based on modified polyurethane resins which are tough and flexible. Thus it provides a hard wearing surface which is resistant to chemicals and oils and yet smooth enough to be hygienic and easy to clean, preventing problems of dusting and staining. The product is available in a wide range of colours that dry to a mid gloss finish. For extra shine, a clear surface glaze is also available.
Polyfloor is quick drying and therefore recommended as a protective coating to garage and factory floors where minimum time is available for shutdown. The product can be applied quickly and easily over a weekend by unskilled labour, ready for use on Monday morning.
Typical Areas of Use
- Garages
- Showrooms
- Workshops
- Warehouses
- Canteens
- Many other Medium Wear Areas, Inside and Out
Surface preparation
Thorough preparation of the surface to be coated will allow the paint to perform to its best capability. Surfaces must be dry and clean, leaving no dust, dirt, oil or grease. Acron Concrete Cleaner should be used to clean concrete floors. Existing paintwork should be scraped back to a firm edge with any bare areas being patch primed prior to the main coat. To ensure compatability, a patch test should be carried out over existing paint.
Application
Porous floors such as concrete should have a first coat of Polyfloor to which 10% Speed Thinners has been added. Metal floors will require a primer coat of either Glopane Epoxy or Chlorinated Rubber Zinc Phosphate Primer. The product will require thorough stirring and can be applied by brush, roller, conventional or airless spray methods. To ensure maximum strength, the manufacturer recommends application of two full bodied coats. A non-slip Deck Finishing System is available for areas which are constantly wet or immersed. This is achieved by sprinkling a non-slip aggregate into the first coat whilst it is still wet. Any loose excess should be brushed away prior to the second coat.
Chemical Resistance
Once cured, Polyfloor will withstand the following: freshwater, sea water, milk, acids, alkalis, diesel oil, mineral oil, grease, fat and kerosene. It will also be capable of resisting splashes of petrol and hydraulic fluids.
