Description

Description

Watco Fastcoat is a new type of resin formulation that allows you to have your floor cleaned, prepared and painted within a single day.

Uniquely developed by Watco’s paint chemists, Fastcoat is a revolution in floor coatings that has only been made possible by recent developments in polyaspartic resin technology. Our unique formulation uses this incredibly versatile resin to produce a high grade, high performance paint for heavily used areas both inside and outside.

When applying Fastcoat Anti Slip, you will notice that the anti slip aggregate comes separately, which can easily be added when mixing. Both Fastcoat and Fastcoat Anti Slip carry CE Mark EN1504-2 and have impressive test results for abrasion and impact resistance, as well as for adhesion and hardness.

Application

Application

Surface preparation

Bare concrete – remove surface laitance, dust and any light dirt or grease deposits using Watco Etch & Clean. Watco Etch & Clean also etches smooth, bare concrete surfaces to provide a key. Flush with clean water and allow the surface to dry. For the removal of heavier deposits of oil and grease we recommend Watco Concroff, again, flush with clean water and allow the surface to dry.

New concrete – as a guide, new concrete should be left for eight weeks to dry. The surface should then be prepared using Watco Etch & Clean and thoroughly rinsed away and left to dry prior to applying this coating.

Painted surfaces – Diamond grind the surface prior to application to achieve a consistently rough profile, and ensure all weakly bonded material is removed. Glossy or inadequately prepared surfaces may cause adhesion issues, so a thorough inspection is recommended to ensure no areas are missed, a bristle blaster can be used in any hard-to-reach areas. Thoroughly sweep the area following grinding; any loose material or dust can compromise adhesion. Bio-D can be used to remove any grease and oil from the surface following the grinding process, however, surfaces washed with Watco Bio D must be then thoroughly rinsed with water and allowed to dry fully, prior to coating.

Application in low temperatures – If applying in cold conditions the product should ideally be stored in a warm room at least 8 hours prior to use. Below 5°C it may be necessary to avoid processes which involve wetting the floor due to the difficulty in drying. A good sweep or mechanical brushing may be sufficient. The viscosity will be somewhat thicker at very low temperatures, reducing coverage a little.

Priming – is not usually required, but for open textured, or very porous high suction surfaces, such as sand and cement screed, use Watco Polyaspartic Primer to ensure a uniform finish and to prevent air entrapment bubbles.

Metal – remove any rust or flaking material by disc grinding or wire brushing. Apply the coating immediately after preparation to the clean metal surface. Grease or oil can be removed using Watco Bio D. Allow the metal to dry before coating.

Galvanised Metal – Watco Galvaprime must be used to prepare galvanised metal.

Non-ferrous Metals – for advice, please contact our Technical Department.

Wood – must be sound, clean and dry. Unsuitable for ridged decking.

Mixing

Mix between 10°C and 25°C. Remove the two inner tins from the tall outer tin. Stir each tin thoroughly and pour all of the contents into the outer tin, (scrape around the inside of the tins to remove any residue). Mix the components together thoroughly using a spatula or similar wide bladed tool, (a piece of wooden batten is ideal). Continue mixing until an even colour and consistency are obtained. Do not mix more than one pack at a time. If a paint stirrer fitted to an electric drill is used, also use the spatula to blend in any unmixed material from the side and bottom of the tin. Do not dilute.

Application

Apply between -10°C and 25°C. Empty the mixed components into a paint tray and apply to the floor using a short pile roller, (not a medium pile or foam), ‘working out’ the coating into a thin paint film. A paint brush can be used for cutting in. Do not apply the paint too thickly since this will result in reduced coverage. A feature of polyaspartic coatings is that they should be applied as a thin film. The second coat should be applied as soon as the first coat is dry (generally 4 hours at 20°C), but it must be applied within 5 days. If more than 5 days elapse, the first coat should be lightly abraded. Avoid washing the surface for 7 days.

Test results

Test results

Extensive testing is what makes us the most highly qualified paint and repair manufacturer on the market. Our tests cover just about everything you might want to know about a floor coating – how well it bonds to the floor, how durable it is, how well it stands up to scratching and much more.

Our key tests for Fastcoat:

  • Adhesion test: using the Cross-Cut test method, Fastcoat is class 0. (class 0 is the highest, class 5 is lowest)
  • Wolff Wilborn Hardness Test: Fastcoat is rated 7H
  • Gloss Value: 95 - Measured on an Optical Glossmeter, +85% is High Gloss
  • Chemical resistance: Good chemical resistance against the most common chemicals.
  • Excellent flexibility: rated 2mm using a Mandrel Flex Tester ISO1519. 2mm is the lowest, 36mm the highest
  • Excellent slip resistance in wet conditions when tested to BS7976-2. For a full breakdown of PTV values, please refer to our Pendulum Test Value Data sheet.
