Powerfloat Base Coat Paint
POWERFLOAT BASE COAT PAINT
Powerfloat Base Coat is a two-component, water-based epoxy coating designed to improve adhesion of top coatings.
This allows top coats to go on more smoothly and last longer on hard, smooth, powerfloated surfaces that would usually reject paint.

HOW TO APPLY
COVERAGE
Approximately 250 sq.ft.
per one gallon kit.
APPLICATION
Apply in a well-ventilated area when the air and surface temperatures are between 50-85°F. Use a good quality lint-free 3/8" nap roller with a phenolic core. A brush may be used for cutting in along walls. Avoid excessive film thickness. Compatible topcoats are Water-Based Epoxy Coat, Safety Coat and Concrete Floor Paint.
CURING TIME
Allow 16 hours prior to the application of finish coating. The finish coating must be applied within 72 hours.
MIXING
Combine the base and activator components. Use a paint paddle or spatula to scrape out and transfer as much of the material as possible. Mix the components thoroughly until an even, uniform color is achieved. If using a power mixer use a paint paddle or spatula to blend in any unmixed material from the sides and bottom of the pail. Do not delay application, usable pot life is 2 hours.
SURFACE PREPARATION
The concrete surface must be clean, dry and free of loose material. New concrete should be allowed to cure for 30 days prior to coating. Remove oil, dirt, grease and other chemical contaminants by cleaning with BioD Floor Degreaser and Cleaner detergent or other suitable cleaner. Rinse thoroughly with fresh, clean water.
Existing coatings should be well- bonded and sound. Previously coated floors need to be in good condition with proper adhesion to the concrete substrate. Check the adhesion of the previous coating by cutting a small X in the coating using a sharp razor knife. Firmly apply a piece of 2" duct tape over the center of the X cut; then pull off with a fast snap. The coating is suitable to topcoat if no significant previous coating is removed beyond the X cut. If the coating fails this test, additional surface preparation is required.
