A durable single-pack water based PU floor paint for interior/exterior concrete surfaces with clear gloss or clear matt finish
abecote® tough PU paint is a high quality single component waterborne PU floor paint for interior and exterior concrete surfaces.
Uses:
abecote® tough PU paint is a durable, hardwearing and fashionable coating, for domestic concrete surfaces such as floors, patios and garages including light industrial applications.
NOTE: Not to be used in areas where rising dampness has not been prevented since this will result in coating delamination.

Surface Preparation
The substrate must be firm, dry, and free from dust and grease. If necessary, employ mechanical cleaning methods and equipment.
It is advisable to check bonding on unfamiliar surfaces. Older coatings must be sanded.
Precautionary Note
(1) The substrate must be dry before application. For concrete, moisture content tests must be conducted prior to application of the priming system.
Moisture content check (preferably a protimeter survey master or equivalent, or dynamic calcium chloride moisture “weight gain” over 24 hours, or at least a practical overnight “plastic sheet test” is also advisable (approximately 1 m² masked down on surface).
(2) Concrete substrate must have a minimum tensile strength of 1.5 N/mm². Concrete shall be free of all laitance and preferably should be lightly vacuum blast cleaned leaving a uniform texture. All blemishes in the surface such as pop-outs, omegas, blowholes and honeycomb should be patched with epidermix® 201. This should be left overnight to cure and shall then be rendered smooth.
For a smooth final finish, the surface profile, peak to valley, should not exceed 25% of the coating thickness.
Bonding/Priming
Apply 10% diluted abecote® tough PU paint as a prime coat.
Mixing
To ensure good mixing, mechanical mixing equipment should be used (below 400 r.p.m) and avoid air incorporation (Jiffy type stirrer is ideal).
Application
After mixing, apply with a virgin mohair roller thinly and evenly. Opened containers must be closed immediately to prevent evaporation and skin forming. It is advisable to use opened containers as quickly as is possible and completely.
Note:
- Don’t dilute with solvents.
- Pinholes can lead to a loss of adhesion, e.g. areas subjected to water ponding.
- Applications thicker than 145 μm WFT is not recommended.
- Extended applications should be worked within 8 – 10 minutes at the latest, otherwise tracks may be visible.
