EpoxyShield Garage Floor Coating offers a multi coloured fleck finish that user friendly and easy to apply water based epoxy garage floor coating with ultimate adhesion and durability. The product has an excellent wear, impact and abrasion resistance like heavy foot and vehicle traffic. EpoxyShield resists chemicals and standing water. The kit consists of a two part epoxy coating, a cleaning solution, decoration chips, paint paddle and an instruction DVD.
Rustoleum EpoxyShield Garage Floor Paint is best used as a garage floor coating but can also be used outside on floors like car parks. Ideally this product will be used on all types of concrete floors, which are completely clean and dry. It is not recommended to apply on smooth or dense concrete or concrete that contains a curing compound, which would potentially prevent a good adhesion. EpoxyShield can also be applied on any old good adhering coatings.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Remove any oil or grease spots on the floor. Use a scrub brush and a cleaner/degreaser, or use a solvent such as mineral spirits. Scrub the spot thoroughly and wipe up excess cleaner with rags or paper towels to keep contaminants from spreading. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water. Repeat as necessary to completely clean. Mix all concentrated cleaner from the kit with approximately 7½-litre water. Mix until dissolved (the cleaning solution contains citric acid). Pre-wet the floor using a hose. Remove pooled water with a squeegee or broom to avoid leaving puddles. Spread the cleaner mixture over a 3x3-m² section of the floor using a watering can. Scrub vigorously with a stiff bristle brush to loosen dust and dirt.
While working, keep the entire section wet until the entire section has been cleaned and rinsed. Rinse each section thoroughly before starting the next section. For best results, use a foam squeegee to remove the rinse water from the surface and to move dirt and contaminants out of the garage. Once all sections are completed, rinse and squeegee the entire garage floor to remove any cleaner that has been tracked on previously cleaned areas. A wet/dry vacuum cleaner can also be used to eliminate excess water, dirt and contaminants. Do not leave pooled water on the floor. The cleaner will not discolour driveways or harm grass or plants if rinsed thoroughly. Allow the floor to dry completely. Wipe your fingers over the clean, dry floor. If you see any dust or powder on your fingers, repeat the rinsing and scrubbing until the floor is clean.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Do not mix Paint Chips with Epoxyshield®. Pour the contents of A into B and stir thoroughly for at least 3 minutes. Allow mixed product to stand (see datasheet) before rolling the coating on to the surface. Do not leave container in direct sunlight. Mix again before applying. The product must be used within 1 to 2 hours of initial mixing (pot life, see table). This time decreases at higher temperatures.
Apply when air (ambient) temperature is 15-35ºC and relative humidity is below 80%. Concrete floors take a long time to warm up; make sure the previous day has also been at least 15ºC prior to painting. Minimum floor temperature for painting is 13ºC. Painting in midafternoon ensures the best cure.
APPLICATION & THINNING: ROLLER
After the full 60 minutes, use a paint roller (20 cm) to apply an even coat of Epoxyshield® onto the surface. Apply in sections of 1,5 x 1,5 m so that paint chips can easily be scattered on the freshly coated surface. Maintain a wet edge to prevent lap marks and gloss differences. Sprinkle the decorative paint chips onto the wet film (note: this step may be skipped if chips are not desired. This will not affect the performance of the coating). Immediately continue to coat the next section (note: fresh paint can be applied over the loose chips that lay outside the previously painted area). This product must be used within 3 hours of initial mixing (pot life).
Rustoleum EpoxyShield Garage Floor Coating can be used on concrete floors which are completely dry and clean, but is highly recommended for use in garages. We would not recommend use in garages which are prone to flooding as this will affect the performance of the product.
