Tikkurila Temafloor PU is a solvent-free, elastic two-component polyurethane coating. It withstands mechanical and chemical stresses in industrial and storage facilities, etc.

Temafloor PU can be used for new and old concrete as well as for asphalt floors. This is a tintable paint and it can be tint in many colors.

It has good resistance to abrasion and withcstands chemicals and heat. The coating forms a durable, seamless and easy-to-clean surface. Temafloor PU does not shrink or crack.

Features & Benefits

• Good resistance to abrasion
• Elongation value approx. 60%
• 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
• Withstands +80ºC dry heat. Does not resist abrupt changes of temperature
• Good impact resistance
• Self-levelling, to be applied with serrated or steel trowel
• Recommended for industrial and storage facilities, repair shops; e.g. air handling units, process or paper machine units and corridors

Technical Data

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 surface.

Old Concrete

• Remove all grease, oil, chemicals and other impurities by Maalipesu detergent.
• Remove old peeling paint layer by grinding.
• 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 70%.

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.

Application

Priming:

• Prime using about 30% thinned Temafloor 400 epoxy varnish.
• Pour the varnish 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.
• Asphalt floors should be primed by applying unthinned Temafloor PU with a suitable steel or rubber trowel.
• Scatter sand of grain size Ø 0,1–0,6 mm on the fresh primer coat to ensure the screed adhesion and prohibit gliding of the screed.
• Remove loose sand with vacuum cleaner before coating with Temafloor PU.

Patching:

• Patch pot-holes and cracks with a mixture of unthinned Temafloor 400 epoxy varnish 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 16–24 hrs after priming.
• 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 layer thickness is 1.0–2.0 mm.
• Use spiked roller to finish the surface approx. 10–20 min after application. Spiked roller helps removing air bubbles from the coating.

Thinner/Cleaning

Thinner:

• Do not thin Temafloor PU polyurethane coating.

VOC

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