Please note, this product is now discontinued. See Axalta Viterfloor PF  as the alternative.

Axalta ViterFloor 276 (Formerly Spencer Coatings) is a single pack, gloss, polyurethane floor coating for general purpose and light traffic areas.

Best Uses

Axalta ViterFloor 276 is a single pack, economic, easily applied floor coating that consists of a mild solvent blend to minimise reaction with existing floor coatings and minimise the lifting of old coating edges. This single pack PU floor paint is ideal for concrete and wooden floors.

ViterFloor 276 is an easy to use maintenance paint for light duty areas in shops, warehouses and industrial units. This product benefits from being able to be brush or roller applied for easy routine floor repainting.

Application

All surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, laitance, dust and other contamination.

Bare Concrete: Remove dirt and contamination by detergent washing, flame cleaning or other appropriate means. For the best long term coating life, laitance should be removed by vacuum blast cleaning (recommended), power grinding or acid etching. If acid etching, more than one application may be required to produce a granular surface suitable for good adhesion. Vacuum blast cleaning should produce a surface profile appropriate to the thickness of the coating being applied. If laitance is not removed, it can detach in service along with the coating, leaving patchy areas of bare concrete.

Previously Painted Floors: abrading (as well as thoroughly cleaning) the existing coating is always recommended to optimise adhesion. As ViterFloor 276 has a mild solvent blend, there should be minimal reaction with existing coatings, such as the lifting of old coating edges. A test area is recommended to confirm compatibility and that adequate adhesion can be achieved.

Wood Floors: Punch all nail heads down below the surface. Sand the surface down to clean, smooth wood using an industrial vacuum sander, cutting-in at edges with a hand sander. To give a smooth finish, it is recommended to also lightly sand and vacuum between coats.

Steel Floors: Consult our technical team.

Must be mixed thoroughly by using a mechanical agitator before use. Agitate periodically to ensure paint remains homogeneous.

The concrete surface must be dry and at least 12 weeks old. The moisture content of the concrete should not exceed 6% when measured 25mm below the surface (with e.g. a Protimeter measuring in 25mm drilled holes filled with gel), or 14% when measured with a surface moisture gauge (such as a Protimeter WME (Wood Moisture Equivalent) gauge).

Only apply in conditions of good ventilation, which must be maintained during drying and curing. Do not apply when rain, mist, sleet or snow are imminent. During application and drying time of the paint coating, the surface should be dry, the Relative Humidity should not exceed 85% and the substrate temperature should remain at least 3oC above the dew point. Paint temperature should ideally be at a minimum of 15ºC.
