Product Description
Wykamol EP40 Epoxy Floor Coating System consists of the EP40 Epoxy Primer and EP40 Epoxy Top Finish coat, which is available in grey or clear.
EP40 Epoxy Floor Primer is designed to soak into the substrate, block pores, improve adhesion and ensure an even, high quality finish. After the final application of EP40 Epoxy Finish Coat, floors become easier to clean with a hard wearing, dust free, waterproof, impervious finish and are substantially more resistant to damage by chemicals, fuels and lubricants.
This system is fantastic for repairing old damp concrete floors – often laid in the past with no damp proof membrane, instead of hacking up the old floor, relaying the concrete on a new DPM and waiting for it all to dry before covering the floor (which often takes months) you can repair the old floor and install a new surface with self leveller using grip grit to form a key. The savings (depending on the size of floor) can run into thousands of pounds and knock months off your schedules.
After the final application of EP40 Epoxy Finish Coat, floors become waterproof and easier to clean with a hard-wearing, dust-free, waterproof and impervious finish and are substantially more resistant to damage by everyday domestic use or even fork-lift trucks, chemical, fuels and lubricants.

Application
EP40 Epoxy Floor Primer:
- Using a stiff brush or roller, work the product into the substrate, ensuring all areas are completely covered.
- Allow to cure for at least 12 hours prior to applying a EP40 Epoxy Finish Coat. If atmospheric or substrate temperatures are below 20°C, allow for a longer initial curing time. Product should be just tack free.
- Do not allow Primer to fully cure – do not allow curing time to exceed 26 hours before applying a 2nd coat of Primer or Finish Coat.
EP40 Epoxy Finish Coat:
- When using EP40 Epoxy Finish Coat in clear, perform a small test application in an inconspicuous area, to ensure the finish is as desired.
- One coat of EP40 Epoxy Finish Coat in clear or grey can be applied with a brush or roller, aiming for a continuous coating.
- Spread the product as thinly as possible while achieveing maximum coverage. Ensure no pooling or excess product remains.
- Only 1 application of EP40 Epoxy Finish Coat is necessary for areas which will experience light traffic, such as school corridors. 2 coats should be applied in areas of medium traffic, such as warehouses.
Achieving Slip Resistance:
- Slip resistance can be improved by scattering anti-slip aggregates onto the EP40 Epoxy Finish Coat, whilst still wet, and back rolling at a rate of 75 g/m². Following intial cure (16 – 24 hours), apply a second coat of EP40 Epoxy Finish Coat to secure the aggregates.
