Laid at 220 microns. Cures at 220 microns.

Warehouse and workshop floors take punishment that thin coatings cannot absorb: pallet traffic, dragged steel, dropped tools and constant foot movement over bare concrete. Solvent-borne floor paints shrink back as their thinners evaporate, so the film left behind is a fraction of what went down and wears through at the busy lines first. EnduraCoat Original is 100% solids, so nothing leaves the film during cure. A 220 micron wet application cures at 220 microns dry, giving a high build epoxy with the wear and abrasion resistance the setting demands. For the applicator, that means no thinning, no spray kit and no guesswork — mix the unit, roller it out, and what you lay is what you keep.

Zero Shrinkage Film

The resin is 100% solids, so nothing is lost to evaporation as the coating cures. A 220 micron wet film stays a 220 micron dry film. Two coats build the full thickness without solvent voids or sinkage.

Two-Part Chemical Cure

Mix the base and hardener at 3.55:1 and the film cures by chemical reaction, not by drying. Pot life is 30 minutes at 20°C, so mix only what you can lay in that window. Recoat after 10 hours at 20°C, with full cure at 16 hours. Keep unmixed containers out of direct sunlight and hot areas, as heat shortens pot life.

Performance Profile

Two-component, 100% solids epoxy. Resin and hardener react to form the film, so there is no solvent loss and no shrink-back. The figures below are the working numbers for planning a floor: what a unit covers, how long you have once it is mixed, and how thick the coating sits on the slab.

Essential Information

Product Details

Description

EnduraCoat Original is a two-component, 100% solids epoxy floor paint for interior use. The resin and hardener are supplied as a matched unit and mixed on site. Once mixed, the two parts react and cure into a continuous glossy film bonded to the floor.

Because the formulation is solvent free, nothing evaporates out of the coating as it cures. The wet film thickness and the dry film thickness are the same, so a 220 micron application stays 220 microns. That is what gives the coating its body compared with thinned, solvent-borne floor paints, and it means the product is applied unthinned, straight from the tub.

Apply one coat over prepared concrete. Bare concrete must be primed first — an unprimed porous slab releases air into the wet epoxy and leaves pinholes in the cured surface. Over sound, well bonded existing paint or suitable metal, prepare and key the surface, then coat directly. Eleven colours are available, including the RAL safety shades used for walkways, plant areas and hazard marking.

Recommended areas of use

  • Interior concrete floors
  • Warehouse and storage floors
  • Workshops and garages
  • Plant rooms and machine areas
  • Sound, well bonded existing floor paint
  • Some interior metal surfaces

  • Solvent free, with no thinners added and none released during cure
  • 220 micron wet film gives 220 microns dry in a single pass
  • Glossy, smooth finish that sweeps and mops clean
  • Cures by chemical reaction, so it is not reliant on ventilation to dry

Good to know

This is an interior coating. Do not use it outdoors. If the film is exposed to UV before it has fully cured, discolouration is more likely.

Pot life is 30 minutes at 20°C, and heat shortens it. Keep unopened containers out of direct sunlight and away from hot areas before use, or the mixed unit will go off faster than you can spread it.

Do not apply below 12°C. Mixed epoxy cannot be cleaned out of brushes and rollers in any practical way — plan to discard applicators after use.

Application

SURFACE PREPARATION

Clean the floor thoroughly. Remove surface laitance, dust, dirt and grease — epoxy bonds to the substrate, not to what is sitting on it. Key smooth, dense or power-floated concrete to give the coating a mechanical grip. Rinse off any cleaning residue and let the surface dry completely.

Over existing paint, check that the film is sound and well bonded. Remove anything flaking or loose. Abrade the remaining paint to a matt key.

PRIMING

Prime bare concrete before you coat it. Porous concrete pushes air up into the wet epoxy as it cures, which shows as pinholes in the finished gloss. A primed slab seals that off and gives consistent adhesion. Existing well bonded paint and prepared metal do not require a primer.

MIXING

Mix at 3.55 : 1. Stir the resin first, then add the hardener and mix the full unit to a uniform colour, scraping the sides and base of the container. Do not add thinners — the product is solvent free and is applied as supplied.

Once mixed, the reaction has started. You have 30 minutes at 20°C, and less if the material is warm. Store containers between 5°C and 30°C and keep them out of direct sunlight and hot areas before use, since heat cuts pot life. Decant into a tray and get the material onto the floor without delay.

APPLICATION AND CURING

Apply by brush or roller at 220 microns wet film thickness. Work it well into the surface and keep a wet edge across each bay. One coat is recommended.

Do not apply below 12°C. If you apply a further coat, recoat after 10 hours at 20°C. Allow 16 hours for cure, and keep the coating out of UV until it has fully cured — early UV exposure makes discolouration more likely. This is an interior coating only.

Cured epoxy cannot be washed out of brushes and rollers in any practical way. Discard applicators after use.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Do I need a primer?
Yes on bare concrete. Concrete is porous, and as the epoxy cures the slab releases air into the wet film, which shows as pinholes in the cured gloss. Priming seals the surface and gives consistent adhesion. Over sound, well bonded existing paint you do not need a primer — clean and key the surface instead.
How many coats should I apply, and how long between them?
One coat is recommended, applied at 220 microns wet film thickness. If you do apply a further coat, recoat after 10 hours at 20°C. A 5kg unit covers 18.2m² at the specified thickness, so work out your area before ordering.
How long do I have once the two parts are mixed?
Pot life is 30 minutes at 20°C. The reaction starts the moment resin and hardener meet, and heat accelerates it — a warm container will give you noticeably less working time. Keep unopened packs out of direct sunlight and away from hot areas before use, mix the full unit, and get it onto the floor straight away.
Can I use it outside?
No. EnduraCoat Original is an interior coating. Exposure to UV before the film has fully cured makes discolouration more likely, so keep fresh work shaded from daylight until cure is complete.
What is the minimum temperature for application, and how long before the floor can be used?
Do not apply below 12°C. Cure time is 16 hours. Because the coating cures by chemical reaction rather than by solvent evaporation, it is not dependent on ventilation to dry, but the substrate and the material still need to be above the minimum temperature for the reaction to proceed properly.
