Product & Application 

The information set out in this section should be used as a guide, results can vary depending
on age, condition of surface, preparation process and previous coatings that have been applied. Weather conditions and ventilation may also play a part in drying times.  

Mix very well before use, using a drill/paddle tool, applying thin layer to surface. Heavy coating will result in longer drying times.

Please follow preparation and application process below:

Step1:  

Surface and product preparation:

Clean and pre-seal surface

Once surface is cleaned, prepared and dry, PaintMax Pre seal should be applied to the surface via roller,brush or spray. Allow a minimum of one thin coat to the surface, no more then 2 coats of pre seal is required. Allow product to fully dry between coats and before coloured top coat is applied.

 Dusty Unstable/Virgin Surfaces:

For areas that are dusty and unstable, you will need a product that has been designed for maximum penetration while providing a good film build by re-bonding the substrate together, returning the floor to a solid sound surface the product we advise is PaintMax Pre Seal, this can be purchased directly from PaintMax 

Oily / Contaminated Surfaces:

Where the floors have been subjected to oil and grease, We recommend steam cleaning your floors and use our Heavy Duty Surface Deep Clean products. Before application of any floor coating be sure to allow the surface to dry fully and PaintMax Pre Seal has been used. Any contamination that remains on the surface will effect the final finish of the polyurethane coating.This may result in coating not bonding to the surface effecting longevity. 

Rising Damp:

A floor coating does not do well if you have any moisture issues. Hydrostatic pressure from the moisture can actually cause the coating to peel up, sometimes taking pieces of the concrete with it. Should floors be devoid of an effective Damp Proof Membrane (DPM), virtually any paint will lift and peel off the surface. Indeed, even self-levelling screeds can be pushed up by water pressure. This is another nightmare regularly experienced by many companies. For this reason, a damp proof coating is recommended as a solution before applying a floor paint.

Treating your floor before coating them:

It is important to prep your surfaces before coating them to assist in application and prevent issues post-paint. We would advise that surface is steam cleaned or jet washed where possible. Allowing surface to fully dry. Be sure surface is sweep and free of any dust and surface contamination.

Repair your floor:
Before painting your surface it is important to repair any cracks,holes or expansions of joints in your concrete to prevent an un-slightly finish to your flooring once it’s painted.

PaintMax Pre Seal is designed to seal the surface from the out-gassing of the concrete, where air will rise and be expelled from the concrete which is often caused by a rise in temperature or a change in humidity. Another major cause to poor flooring is rising damp. Due to a poor or non-existent DPM (Damp Proof Membrane), the damp is caused by a rising water table and/or the immediate surrounding areas being waterlogged.

Air entrapment is a common issue that can occur if the surface isn’t primed before being coated. This is where the air pushes bubbles into the resin coat which later bursts, leaving ‘craters’ and ‘pin holes’ in your floor paint. This can also be caused when the resin has been mixed too quickly – it is important to use the correct tools to mix to avoid issues. Primer tackles this issue by soaking further into the surface to fully seal the entire surface area of concrete floors. Air is then less likely to push up, and on the rare occasion that it does, the bubble will pop and the resin now being thinner, will generally revert back and refill the ‘pin hole’ caused by the bubble.


Step2:

Product & Application information:

Product should be fully stirred with a power paddle before application, 

You can apply quick and simply with any standard roller and brush,

Product can also be applied with industrial sprayer (product may need to be thinned with industrial thinners max 5%, compatible thinners available from PaintMax )

coverage:6/8m squared per litre, Depending on surface age and conditions

Two Coats Always Advised, keep coats light, heavy application will result in longer dry times.

Dry time of coating using standard roller in areas with minimal air moisture (lab conditions) drying time will be extended if coat is applied too heavy, for best results apply thin layers.

touch dry @ 15'c = 10/12 hours

first coat should be left to dry for 24 hours to assure adhesion to surface leave minimum of 24 hours for after coats always leaving minimum of 48 hours before 100% use of area again

true 100% cure will only be 7 days after application  of last coating

(work in a well ventilated area using no forms of naked light/fire)
A Test area should always be preformed on surface before complete coverage.

We advise that you test a small area of the surface to check that the product firstly bonds to the surface, No reactions occurs due to contamination or reactions to previous coatings and Colour is correct.

 (please note colour variation can occur between batches, batch number can be found on the lid of each tub)  

Please test for damp before coating by applying a small test patch or applying a clear plastic sheet (30cmx30cm) and sealing it to the floor with a high grade tape (duck tape) with out any ways of air escaping and leave for 24 hours if there is any forms of water vapor on the sheet the are will have damp and steps will need to be taken before coatings

 Mix very well before use, using a drill/paddle tool, applying thin layer to surface. 

Heavy coating will result in longer drying times.

 If the area you are looking to coat is virgin (never been coated) or has had contamination from oil,grease,cutting agents etc,Cleaning with correct equipment/surface preparation products will be required.

The area will then need to be coated with a heavy duty pre seal and left to dry for 24 hours (you can purchase this pre seal from PaintMax)

Power-floated/Screed areas (smooth shinny concrete) will need to be treated with a acid etch or abrade by mechanical means.

 A test patch is always advised as some areas my still have contamination and this could have complications when coating.
