Axalta ViterFloor PF Floor Paint

Axalta ViterFloor PF Floor Paint is a single pack polyurethane-modified alkyd floor coating. Formerly Stokes Polyurethane Floor Paint

Best Uses

Axalta ViterFloor PF Floor Paint is a single pack, easily applied floor coating for light to medium duty use. Benefiting from a mild solvent blend, this coating causes minimum reaction with existing floor coatings (e.g. minimises the lifting of old coating edges).

• Rapid drying to minimise downtime
• Great for use in workshops, offices, factories, garages, showrooms and warehouses

Application

Prime bare concrete areas by thinning the first coat with up to 25% of Axalta Thinner TH400 to act as a sealer coat. Two full coats are recommended over sealed concrete. One full coat is usually sufficient over previously painted surfaces.

For anti-slip properties, after sealing or over previous intact and prepared coatings, apply one unthinned coat and sprinkle with an aggregate of suitable size to achieve the required degree of anti-slip properties. When dry, sweep off excess aggregate and apply a further full coat to seal in the aggregate.

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. A test area is recommended to confirm compatibility and that adequate adhesion can be achieved.
• Steel Floors: Consult Promain's technical team.

Mix thoroughly before use. Agitate periodically during use to ensure product 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. Only apply this product when the above conditions can be maintained throughout the critical application and drying/curing process. Paint temperature should ideally be at a minimum of 15ºC.
