Tikkurila Temafloor P300 is a two-component, solvent-free epoxy coating for new and old concrete floors exposed to heavy mechanical and chemical stress in industrial and storage facilities. It withstands water, oils, greases, chemicals and dilute solutions of non-oxidizing acids, alkali and salt solutions.

Also withstands up to 70ºC dry heat and 60ºC in immersion - does not resist abrupt, great or repeated changes of temperature.

For industrial and professional use only.

Features & Benefits

• Huge colour range with RAL, BS and NCS
• Good resistance to abrasion
• Withstands water, oils, greases, chemicals and dilute solutions of non-oxidizing acids, alkali and salt solutions.
• Resists only temporary splashes of oxidizing acids and bleaching chemicals - a separate chemical resistance table available
• Withstands 70ºC dry heat and 60ºC in immersion.
• Does not resist abrupt, great or repeated changes of temperature
• Self-levelling coating
• Temafloor Flex hardener makes the paint surface flexible and thus more resistant to cracking
  • Flex Hardener is available separately as POA subject to a 14 day lead time - please contact our sales team on 0113 2455450 or [email protected] to discuss your project requirements
• For new and old concrete floors exposed to heavy mechanical and chemical stress in industrial and storage facilities, repair shops; e.g. process or paper machine units and corridors. Also for car parks, garages, business premises, shopping centres, restaurants and cafe`s
• For industrial and professional use only.

Technical Data

Volume Solids:

• approx. 100%

Specific Gravity:

• 1.4 kg / l (mixture)

Pot Life (23℃)

• 20–30 minutes on substrate, approx. 15 minutes in the mixing container.

VOC

• VOC 2004/42/EC (cat A/j) 500 g/l (2010)
• Temafloor P300: max. VOC < 500 g/l

Mixing Ratios

• Base (Temafloor P300) - 4 parts by volume
• Hardener 008 4514 - 1 part by volume

Or

• Paint (Temafloor P300) - 2 parts by volume
• FLEX hardener 930 5002 - 1 part by volume

Practical Coverage

Coverage on concrete floors is on the average:

• Film thickness 0.3 mm coverage approx. 3 m²/litre
• Film thickness 0.5 mm coverage approx. 2 m²/litre

Practical coverage depends on the porosity and evenness of the substrate and on the application method.

Drying Time (23℃)

• Dust dry after 6 hours
• Light trucking after 16 hours
• Fully cured after 7 days

At lower temperature the curing process will last longer.

With Temafloor FLEX hardener the curing times are a little longer. Available to order seperately - contact our sales team on 0113 2455450 or [email protected] to discuss your requirements

Cleaning of Equipment

• Thinner 1029 or 1031

Thinning Instructions

• Do not thin Temafloor P 300 epoxy coating.

Reaction to Fire

• B FL -s1 according to standard EN 13501-1

Surface Preparation

New concrete:

• Remove laitance by power grinding, vacuum grit blasting or hydrochloric acid etching.
• Choose the method best suited for the premises.
• After grinding remove dust carefully with a vacuum cleaner.
• Hydrochloric acid etching is carried out with diluted hydrochloric acid (1 part concentrated hydrochloric acid, 4 parts water).
• Rinse with plenty of water.
• Dry the floor.

Old concrete:

• Remove all grease, oil, chemicals and other impurities by Maalipesu detergent.
• Remove old peeling paint layer by grinding or vacuum grit blasting.
• Choose the method best suited for the premises.
• Clean out pot-holes removing all loose friable material.
• Open cracks with e.g. an abrasive tool. Remove loose material and dust.
• If cementitious screed is used, check compatibility with the levelling screed manufacturer.

Application Conditions

• The relative humidity of the concrete should not exceed 97%.
• The temperature of the ambient air, surface or coating should not fall below +15ºC during application or drying.
• Relative humidity of air should not exceed 80%.
• Note! There is a natural tendency of this coating to chalk, discolor or yellow unevenly.
• It is recommended to use polyurethane topcoat when there are high aesthetical requirements on colour appearance.

Mixing Components

First stir base and hardener separately. Mix the correct proportions of base and hardener thoroughly (approx. 2 minutes to get homogenous mixture) by using a low speed industrial hand drill with a paddle.

Insufficient mixing or incorrect mixing ratio will result in uneven drying of the surface, weaken the properties of the coating and risk the success of the application.

Priming

Prime using Temafloor 200, Temafloor 400 or Temafloor 220W epoxy varnish thinned 20– 50% with Thinner 1029 or Fontefloor EP Primer epoxy varnish thinned 20–50% with water.

Pour the varnish mixture onto the floor and apply as much as is needed to impregnate the concrete surface.

If necessary, repeat priming to get a non-porous surface.

A porous priming coat will result in holes and air bubbles in the finished coating.

Subsequent treatment can be carried out after 2 hours using "wet-on-wet" technique.

Patching

• Patch pot-holes and cracks with Colofill putty or a mixture of unthinned Temafloor 200 Primer epoxy varnish or Temafloor P300 epoxy coating and dry, clean sand.
• Mixing ratio e.g. 1 part by volume of varnish mixture and 1–2 parts by volume of sand of grain size 0.1–0.6 mm.
• Sand the patched areas before overcoating, if necessary.

Note! Concrete surface should always be primed before patching.

Topcoating

• Overcoating should be done within 6–24 hrs after priming with unthinned Temafloor P300.
• If the primed surface is not overcoated within 24 hrs, it should be abraded.
• Pour the mixture onto the floor and apply it with a trowel and level with a roller.

• Control that the thickness of layer is correct by observing coating consumption and by measuring the film thickness.
• Recommended film thickness is 0.3–0.5 mm.
• It is recommended to apply two thin layers with minimum DFT 0.3 mm.
• Use spiked roller to finish the surface approx. 10–20 min after application.
• Spiked roller helps removing air bubbles from the coating.

• Temafloor P300 metallic shades can be applied with a brush, roller or airless spray.
• Using a roller with different colour shades produces a vivid surface with a metallic shine effect.
• Recommended film thickness is 0.5–1.0 mm.
