Resuflor WB (formerly known as Resuseal WB) provides a curing membrane that hardens a concrete floor. This enhanced hydrating formula is ideal for warehouses, lessening the impact of low to medium traffic forklift trucks and easing the cleaning process. 

Its versatility means that it can be applied to various surfaces, leaving an attractive finish. It is particularly suited to indoor walkways and stairs where cleaning is regularly required, and comes in a satin finish.

RECOMMENDED USES

• As a seal coat for concrete 
• Low to medium traffic indoor applications 
• Food industries and warehouses 
• Suitable for all types of masonries, asphalt and wood substrates 
• Indoor walkways and stairs 
• Automotive workshops

Preparation

Surfaces to be coated must be clean, sound, dry and free of any contaminants that could impair good adhesion.

Substrate temperature should be between 10-30°C with relative air humidity of 70% maximum. Cold, high humidity and lack of air movement can cause a patchy finish, gloss reduction and delay in curing and damage to final properties. To prevent this ensure good drying conditions and air ventilation prevail throughout the application and cure of the product:

New Concrete Floors: New concrete must be clean and sound with surface laitance removed preferably by vacuum enclosed shot blasting or mechanical grinding, a minimum strength of 25N/mm sq. is required. Open, porous substrates may benefit by applying one extra coat of the specified primer.

Existing Concrete Floors: Remove all dirt, oil, grease, old paints or any other surface contaminants by vacuum enclosed shot blasting, scarifying or mechanical grinding. Fats, oils or greases must be removed by mechanical means and detergent washing and rinse with clean water to make sure all residue of detergents and/or chemicals are completely removed. Local repairs should be carried out prior to main application by using the specified primer, Resuflor WB Clear, then Resupatch.

Priming

Open and porous substrates will require priming. Resuflor WB Clear is recommended and depending on the porosity and texture of the surface to be primed may require two coats. Resuflor WB Clear will not seal block work as it is a thin film primer.  

Application

Mixing: Pre-mix the base component to a uniform consistency then add the entire contents of the hardener to the base and mix by using a slow speed hand held powered mixer and mixing paddle for approximately two to three minutes to achieve consistent mixture.

Note: Do not use a separate mixing bucket as it may affect the mixing ratio. 

Apply the whole mixed paint by using spreading rake, roller and brush to achieve the maximum coverage within the specified pot life time frame.

Do not add water to this product. Slip resistance can be improved by lightly broadcasting anti slip aggregates on the first coat (after primer) whilst still wet and back rolling, at a rate of 50/100 g/m sq. When cured, apply the second Resuflor WB coat to secure the aggregates. Alternatively one pack of R.S. Beadgrip can be added to each pack of Resuflor WB to achieve a fine non-slip texture.

Do not apply Resuflor WB on top of polyurethane coatings, as it may not adhere properly. 

Resuflor WB can act as a curing membrane to increase hardness of concrete by allowing full hydration of cement. Resuflor WB can be applied to a new (green) concrete, 7 days after being poured. In such cases expect surface gloss reduction and delay in cure process due to substrate dampness.
