Description

Description

Enables coatings to be applied to hard, smooth surfaces which would usually reject paint. Avoid using any coating which includes a strong solvent. For more information, please download a product datasheet from the quick links below. 

Recommended areas of use

  • Priming power floated, very smooth or non porous concrete floors which are prone to rejecting paint
  • Clear Powerfloat Primer can be used on clear ceramic tiles before application of Watco Protecta-Coat

Features

  • Primes hard, smooth surfaces ready for painting
  • Eliminates the need for costly shot blasting or grinding
  • One coat application: quick and easy to apply
  • Low odor
  • Superior performance demonstated by ISO testing to CE Mark EN1504-2
  • Easily applied by roller

Powerfloat Primer curing times:

The following is based on good ventilation and a floor temperature of 15 -20°C

  • With all epoxy coatings such as Watco Epoxy Gloss Coat or Safety Coat: Allow the Primer to dry for 16 hours, but no longer than 72 hours before overcoating
  • With Watco Concrete Floor Paint, Flexicoat and Safety Grip Flex: Allow the Primer to dry for at least 5 days before overcoating
  • With polyaspartic coatings such as Cold Set Coating or Safety Coat Cold Cure: Allow the primer to dry for at least 16 hours but no longer than 72 hours before overcoating

Please note: Whilst Powerfloat Primer avoids the use of mechanical preparation, diamond grinding or shot blasting does provide a better finish overall and is recommended. For smaller areas where mechanical abrasion is difficult Powerfloat Primer is a great back-up option.

Application

Surface preparation

New concrete should be allowed at least 28 days to dry. Surfaces should be clean, dry and free from oil, grease, dust, dirt and other contaminants. Existing coatings should be well bonded and sound.

Mixing

The tall outer tin contains a tin of Resin and a tin of Activator. Remove these two tins and stir the contents of each thoroughly. Decant both tins into the tall outer tin. The two components should then be very thoroughly mixed together using a wide bladed stirrer. A wooden batten at least 25mm wide is ideal. Mix for 2–3 minutes until an even colour and consistency are obtained.

Application

If appearance is critical we recommend the application of a small trial area first.

Decant the mixed components into a roller tray and apply using a medium pile type roller. A brush may be used for cutting in. Aim to apply the mixed components within one hour (they are usable for up to 2 hours maximum at 20°C). Do not apply at temperatures below 10°C or above 30°C. Cold or damp conditions may retard or prevent full curing. Avoid applying too thickly.
