National 18L Guard Epoxy Flooring Topcoat - Silver Grey

The mixing ratio is 4:1 (Base: Hardener). After mixing thoroughly, allow it to mature for 15–20 minutes before use. The pot life at 30°C is approximately 6–8 hours.

Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from contaminants like grease or dust. Concrete floors should cure for at least 28 days, and laitance must be removed using mechanical means like shot blasting.

The topcoat has excellent resistance to water, mild chemicals, abrasion, and impact. Additionally, it resists spills and splashes of solvents and other mild chemicals.

It is ideal for cementitious surfaces like concrete floors and can also serve as a finishing coat on steel surfaces. It is commonly used in light-duty industrial areas, workshops, and garages.

The product can be applied using a roller, brush, or spray. Thinning with National Epoxy Thinner (5–15% volume) is required depending on the application method.

The topcoat is touch dry within 3–6 hours, ready to recoat after a minimum of 10 hours and a maximum of 72 hours, and fully cured in 7 days.

The product has a volume solids content of 55 ± 2%, a specific gravity of 1.40 ± 0.05 when mixed, and a recommended dry film thickness of 70–100 microns per coat. The theoretical spreading rate is approximately 5.5–6 m²/L.

The National Guard Epoxy Flooring Topcoat is a two-pack chemical-resistant topcoat based on polyamide-cured epoxy resin, designed for concrete floors. It offers good adhesion, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance.
