Uses: warehouse and workshop floors, assembly areas, packing areas, food processing plants, transport depots etc.

Solvent free, virtually odourless

Dustproofs and toughens the concrete surface

Makes surfaces easier to clean

Tough, chemical resistant clear seal

Good resistance to oil and petrol

Watco Epoxy Floor Shield provides a tough, chemical resistant, heavy duty, clear seal on concrete and similar surfaces. One or two coats are recommended depending on porosity of substrate. It will have a darkening effect on concrete, again depending upon the porosity of the substrate and number of coats applied.

Coverage approx. 30m² per 5 litres per coat. Two coats are normally required.

Surface Preparation
Concrete to be treated must be at least four weeks old, completely dry and free of surface laitance (a weak dusty layer on concrete), contaminants and any previous poorly bonded coatings. All traces of grease or oil should be removed with Watco Bio D and the area thoroughly washed off and allowed to dry. Very smooth concrete or concrete with surface laitance should be etched with Watco Cemtetch to ensure adequate adhesion. The concrete should be thoroughly washed down and allowed to dry after treatment with Watco Cemtetch.

Mixing
The smaller Resin tin will twist away from the Curing Agent tin when the seams on the sides of the tin are aligned. The contents of the smaller Resin tin should be thoroughly stirred and the contents emptied into the large Curing Agent tin. It is very important that all the contents of the Resin tin are decanted and thoroughly mixed with the Curing Agent with a wide bladed tool until an even colour and consistency are obtained.

Application
Best results are obtained in warm (minimum 15ºC), dry conditions with a good through draught. In very high temperatures (30ºC and above) it is recommended that bare concrete is lightly dampened first with water. Apply by simulated sheepskin roller, working well into the surface of the concrete. Do not exceed the maximum coverage of 30m² per 5 litre pack, per coat. The product will darken slightly as curing commences and it should not be over rollered.

In exceptional temperature conditions advice should be obtained from Watco’s Technical Department.
