Description
Two Pack Epoxy Floor Primer and Sealer
Firstly, this product is a concrete primer suitable to be applied to bare concrete once the correct preparation has been carried out. This will impregnate the concrete offering good intercoat adhesion ready for the two coats of our Two Pack Epoxy Top Coat.
Secondly this product can be used as a sealer to seal off bare concrete to stop dusting. If you are not planning to put a coloured top coat on we recommend using two coats of this.
For use on garage, industrial factory, warehouse, industrial kitchen and shop floors to provide a highly protective and hard wearing coating with excellent chemical resistance.
Please note although Two Pack Epoxy coating’s offer the best chemical resistance and protection from the elements, the colours will chalk and fade in external applications.

New Concrete
New concrete floors or will need time to green this generally is a period of 3 months from when the concrete floor is laid, we say 3 months as it depends on the thickness of the concrete and quality, it’s always best ask the supplier and fitter of the concrete floor as to how long to wait till painting.
