Product Description
This is part of the Wykamol EP40 Epoxy Floor Coating System consists of the EP40 Epoxy Primer and EP40 Epoxy Top Finish coat. This listing is for the Primer Coat Only so you may also need the Wykamol EP40 Finishing Top Coat (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 Wykamol EP40 Epoxy Floor Coating System 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 applying the Wykamol EP40 Epoxy Floor Coating System, 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.
