Centrecoat ArmourCoat HB 3-400 is a two pack virtually solvent free epoxy industrial floor paint offering excellent abrasion and chemical resistance. ArmourCoat HB 3-400 provides a tough, high build, hard wearing coating for medium duty traffic giving high film finish suitable for warehouse floors, garages and even car parking spaces.
This product also can be used in Aircraft Hangars and has reasonable resistance with short term contact to Skydrol in conjunction with an effective cleaning regime.
Centrecoat ArmourCoat HB 3-400 is formulated for medium duty floors requiring an easy to clean, tough and durable coating with excellent chemical resistance such as warehouses, factories, workshops, showrooms, packing and storage areas. Centrecoat ArmourCoat HB 3-400 can also be used as a sealcoat for broadcast systems such as intermediate car park decks. ArmourCoat HB 3-400 is suitable for regular foot traffic, fork lift truck traffic and occasional hard plastic-wheeled trolleys.
FeRFA No | Type | Description | Duty | Typical Thickness |
1 | Floor Seal | Applied in 2 or more coats. Generally solvent or water borne | LD | > 150μm |
2 | Floor Coating | Applied in 2 or more coats. Generally solvent free | LD / MD | 150 - 300μm |
3 | High build floor coating | Applied in 2 or more coats. Generally solvent free. | MD | 300 - 1000μm |
4 | Multi-layer flooring | Aggregate dressed systems based on multiple layers of floor coatings or flow-applied flooring, often described as sandwich systems | MD / HD | > 2mm |
5 | Flow-applied flooring | Often referred to as ‘self-smoothing’ or ‘self-levelling’ flooring and having a smooth surface | MD / HD | 2 - 3mm |
6 | Resin screed flooring | Trowel-finished, heavily filled systems, generally incorporating a surface seal coat to minimise porosity | MD / HD | > 4mm |
7 | Heavy duty flowable flooring | Having a smooth surface | HD / VHD | 4 - 6mm |
8 | Heavy duty resin flooring | Trowel-finished, aggregate filled systems effectively impervious throughout their thickness. | VHD | > 6mm |
LD – light foot traffic, occasional rubber tyre vehicles, MD – regular foot traffic, frequent fork lift truck traffic, occasional hard plastic-wheeled trolleys, HD – constant fork lift truck traffic, hard plastic wheeled trolleys, some impact, VHD – severe heavily loaded traffic and impact
Substrates in contact with the ground must incorporate a functional damp proof membrane in accordance with CP102 or, in the case of basement floors, BS 8102. The base should have a relative humidity at the surface of no more than 75% when measured according to BS 8203. See data sheet for full preparation guidance.
Substrates must be clean, dry and free of surface laitance and contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, poorly bonded coatings and surface treatments. Inadequate preparation will lead to loss of adhesion and failure. In coatings, there is a tendency for the finish to mirror imperfections in the substrate. Grinding, or light vacuum-contained shot-blasting, is therefore preferred over planing for these systems.
Mixed material must be used immediately. (minimum 15°C). Apply with a medium pile simulated sheepskin roller, working well into the surface, taking care not to exceed the coverage rate. Edges and difficult to reach areas may be applied thinly by brush. An anti-slip finish may be achieved by broadcasting the first coat to saturation, with kiln dried silica sand at 3 - 4 kg/m2. Allow the first coat to cure for 24 hours at 15°C (or longer in colder temperatures) then remove all excess sand with a stiff broom and vacuum. Apply a second coat to encapsulate the grains.
