Resincoat Polyaspartic Rapid Dry Paint

DESCRIPTION

Quick drying floor paint

Resincoat Polyaspartic Rapid Dry Floor Paint is touch dry in just one hour at 20°C. We can guarantee that you won't find a faster drying coating anywhere in the UK. Despite the rapid curing time, our Polyaspartic formula is designed to be user-friendly with a 30 minute pot life at 10°C giving you plenty of time to get the job done.

Cold storage flooring

Our Polyaspartic formula will cure at temperates as low as -5°C and will be stable once cured at even lower temperatures. This makes it a great option for flooring in cold storage areas, cooling units and other low temperature spaces. Due to its excellent coverage rates, Resincoat Polyaspartic is also great for larger spaces allowing you to coat an entire warehouse sized floor in just one day.

COVERAGE RATES

Please see below for coverage rates. If you are coating a large area and would like expert advice, please call our team who will be happy to assist you.

1kg: 7-8m²

2.5kg: 15-20m²

Please note: the above coverage rates are per coat, in most cases we advise 2 coats.

APPLICATION GUIDE

Preparation

Old paint finishes should be removed if flaking at all and the surface should be sanded to create a texture (also known as a mechanical key) prior to applying Resincoat Polyaspartic Rapid Dry Paint. When preparing for a floor coat, doing so mechanically (shot-blasting or grinding) is always advisable for best results. After the surface has been completely abraded, thoroughly sweep and vacuum the area of any remaining dust or contaminants. For more information on preparation, please see technical data sheet. 

Priming

• This product is generally considered "self-priming". Use of a primer on highly porous surfaces will assist in achieving the advertised coverage rates. In the case of oil contaminated surfaces, we would recommend using a suitable degreaser, scraping off any dust or dirt before priming with Resincoat Oil Tolerant Primer.

Application

As opposed to typical epoxy resin paint, Polyaspartic can be applied as low as -5°C.

1. Mix Part A on its own with a mixing paddle attached to an electric drill for about 1 minute before adding ALL of Part B and continue to mix for another 90 seconds, keeping the paddle in suspension to avoid mixing air into the unit.

2. Pour entirety of the tin's contents into a plastic paint scuttle or tray.

3. Immediately begin applying your paint with a nylon-bonded resin suitable roller.

4. Use a brush around the edges to cut in (a second pair of hands can be useful for this stage).

5. As soon as the first coat has started curing (is no longer tacky to touch) you can re-coat; this should take 2 hours at 10°C.

6. The cured final coat is ok for foot traffic. Cars and heavy objects, however, should be left off the new coating for the first 16 hours and chemicals including water should not be introduced for the first 2 days (Full chemical cure).

PLEASE NOTE: The pot life of this product is 30 minutes at 25°C. This means that once parts have been mixed, the paint will start to chemically cure after this time. Ensure you remove the paint from the tin in this window. The paint will then be workable on your floor for up to 40 minutes. 

Pot life = Time to harden in pot following addition of hardener

Working Time = Time to apply product before it becomes unworkable
