KEMKO 070 FlorWal Coat

Coating with Resistance to Industrial Chemicals

KEMKO 070 FlorWal Coat is a two-component, solvent-free epoxy resin coating system designed for chemical, abrasion, and slip-resistant applications. It serves as a protective and decorative surface for concrete, masonry, steel, wood, and stone substrates, including damp surfaces, providing excellent resistance against various industrial chemicals and mechanical wear.

This product consists of Part A (epoxy resin) and Part B (hardener), mixed in a 2:1 volume ratio. It may be used in combination with broadcast aggregates to enhance texture and slip resistance. Application tools include stiff bristle brushes, rollers, squeegees, or two-component spray systems. No primers or additional base coats are required, but aggregates (e.g., #20x40 or #30x50 mesh) may be applied for surfacing finishes.

 Suitable for chemical plants, garages, industrial facilities, and environments exposed to automotive fluids and industrial chemicals. It may be used in both pedestrian and vehicular traffic areas.

·      Application Temperature: Minimum 50°F substrate temperature.

·      Curing Conditions: Cures at 50°F minimum. Recoat windows range from 8–72 hours @ 60°F, 4–24 hours @ 73°F, and 2–12 hours @ 90°F.

·      Pot Life: Approx. 35 minutes for a 200g batch at standard conditions.

·      Coating Thickness:

o   As a coating: 6–8 mils per coat, applied in two or more coats.

o   As a surfacing: 20–30 mils per coat.

·      Coverage:

o   Coating: 100–133 sq ft/gal for two coats.

o   Surfacing: 54–80 sq ft/gal depending on thickness and substrate porosity.

·      Surface Prep: Substrates must be clean and free from bond inhibitors; concrete must be sound and prepared per ASTM D 4259 or ACI 503R guidelines. Steel should be prepared to SSPC SP 5 (white metal).

·      UV Resistance: Not UV stable; may chalk upon prolonged sunlight exposure.

·      Environmental Tolerance: Can bond to damp substrates; freeze-thaw resistant.

·      Storage: 3-year shelf life in sealed containers stored between 60–90°F.

·      Chemical Resistance: Withstands exposure to salt/fresh water, detergents, gasoline, oils, Skydrol, and weak acids/bases. Limited resistance to hydrocarbon solvents and hot water over 140°F.

·      Clean-up: Uncured material may be cleaned with acetone or similar solvents; cured material requires epoxy stripper.

·      Safety: Use protective gear; both components are irritants with potential allergenic and corrosive effects. Adequate ventilation is required during application.
