Axalta ViterFloor 400

Axalta ViterFloor 400 (Formerly Spencer Coatings) is a two pack epoxy, solvent free clear primer / sealer for concrete floors.

Best Uses

Axalta ViterFloor 400 is formulated as clear primer/sealer for new and old concrete floors. Suitable for use as a primer/sealer under Axalta ViterFloor 300 and Axalta ViterShield GPL, and as a clear sealer for bare concrete floors to prevent dusting and dirt contamination.

• Resistant to water, oils, chemicals and weak solutions of non-oxidising acids, alkali and salt solutions
• Resists temporary splashes of oxidising acids and bleaching chemicals
• Can also be used as a ‘filled primer’ for holes and cracks in concrete floors

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. 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.

Patching: Clean out holes and open cracks to a minimum 5mm width and remove dust and loose material. Prime bare concrete holes and cracks with ViterFloor 400. While the primer is still wet, fill holes and cracks with a patching material made by mixing ViterFloor 400 mixed resin with a quantity of clean, dry sand (of grain size 0.1 mm – 0.6 mm) in the ratio: 1 Part by Volume of mixed resin to 1-2 Parts by Volume of sand. This ratio is not critical and a more resin-rich mixture may be used for e.g. smaller cracks. If required, grind the patched areas level with the surrounding floor when cured.

Must be mixed thoroughly by using a mechanical mixer (with side scraper) before use. Add hardener in the correct proportions and mix thoroughly for a minimum of 2 minutes. Mix the material just before use, and consider the area to be coated and pot life of the material when deciding how many units are required.

Note: do not scrape or pour out remaining residues of mixed material from the bottom and sides of the container onto the floor, as this material may be incompletely mixed and cause ‘soft spots’ in the applied floor coating. It is recommended that all material is stored at a temperature of approximately 20ºC for at least 24 hours prior to use, to aid mixing and application.
