| Floorgard HP |
Floorgard HP is a four component (Base, Hardener, Filler & Colour Pack) solvent-free epoxy resin high build coating. The formulation was chosen to allow the incorporation of non-skid grit and provide a high degree of chemical and abrasion resistance.
The result is a satin smooth finish coloured to individual requirements. It has excellent adhesion qualities, is impervious and easily cleaned.
NB: Care has been taken to ensure that colours manufactured under our modern process are as close as possible to agreed reference samples. However, it should be noted that no guarantee can be given of exact colour matching.
An on site trial should be carried out to ensure that the correct grade of grit is chosen so that the required degree of skid resistance and aesthetic appearance is obtained.
USES & ADVANTAGES
Floorgard HP is a heavy duty, commercial treatment for concrete floors, walls and steel that is attractive and easily cleaned. Highly resistant to chemical attack and the action of forklift, vehicular, and commercial type traffic.
Suitable for use in wet areas where strict levels of hygiene and cleanliness are required or where chemicals are manufactured, spilled or are an integral part of the process.
Use in food and chemical industry, hospitals, schools, kitchens, high traffic applications and many other installations.
Specially selected and processed grades of quartz sand anti-slip grits are available to make safe all types of working areas for both personnel and plant.
Floorgard HP may be used without non-skid grit as a sealer on epoxy floor screeds or as a high quality protective coating for floors, walls, coves, drains, etc. and is readily available in clear or standard colours.
Advantages include :
• Long lasting and easily maintained with good resistance to most chemicals and solvents.
• Provides safety for plant and personnel while saving on cleaning and maintenance costs.
• Suitable around food stuffs during and after installation.
• Non toxic.
• Suitable for coating in contact with potable water.
• Available in high gloss clear where a sacrificial wear coating or extra chemical resistance is required.
• Provides an attractive gloss finish.
• Provides an attractive gloss finish.
• Available in a wide range of light reflective colours to provide a brighter work area.
• Available in a fast set version for cold conditions.

Good housekeeping practice requires spills to be quickly removed and washed.
1st Coat
Having made the necessary tests and primed if necessary, apply Floorgard HP by brush or roller at a rate of 5 m2 per litre or slightly heavier if medium grit is to be used.
As soon as approximately one square metre has been coated, cover with the required grade of grit. The Floorgard HP Grit should be lightly and uniformly broadcast over the wet Floorgard HP.
If any areas have lost their gloss, recoat lightly before applying grit. When treating large areas, divide the floor into 1 metre strips by placing a suitable masking tape onto the floor prior to commencing application.
NB: Ensure that during placement, the tape is kept true and straight.
When the first coat is hard (usually the next morning refer “Properties” section) sweep off all excess grit. For good appearance and easier cleaning, it is important that all loose grit be removed at this time.
When abutting to previous work ensure that after theremoval of the tape there is no residual tape or adhesive contamination remaining. The adjoining fresh coat of Floorgard HP must be blended into the existing coat so as to avoid any seam, as this could subsequently result in an adhesive failure.
2nd Coat
Mix the liquid as before and using a paint roller apply a coat over the grit. (See “Coverage”). It is important that this final coat be uniform but the exact rate of application may be varied to suit the finish required. A heavy final coat will give the best slip resistance in wet conditions.
Brushes and rollers must be washed thoroughly at least once each hour and immediately after finishing. Use Cormix Solvent to clean up solution and when finished give brush a final wash in soap and water. Rollers should be discarded after use.
At temperatures of 200C-300C foot traffic may be permitted after 24 hours, and light vehicular traffic after 72 hours; however, in cold weather a longer period before use may be required. For best results, do not apply below 100C. Allow 5-7 days before subjecting to chemical attack or severe abrasion.
Floorgard HP should not be applied to any surface subject to back water pressure; otherwise failure of the bond is likely to occur.
Intending users should always consult Cormix if there is any doubt as to whether a proposed application may involve conditions other than “ordinary”. Such extraordinary conditions include;
- Porous or poor quality concrete causing excessive use and absorbancy of the product.
- Unusually cold conditions during curing (<100C) - Above ambient temperatures of service (400C) e.g. floors subject to hot water.
- Severe, or unusual, chemical attack.
- Severe, or unusual, conditions of service beyond the limiting physical and chemical properties of epoxies.
Care should be taken in selecting colours as some will darken or develop a brown tinge when exposed to sunlight or certain chemicals. This effect is noticeable on white, light colours and grey systems; on brown, yellow and red colours it is less noticeable.
Floorgard HP is not recommended for exterior use where it is subject to sunlight or in applications involving prolonged water immersion. Contact Cormix International Limited for detailed information.
Floorgard HP should not come in contact with the skin and eyes, or be swallowed. Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid inhalation of vapours. Some people are sensitive to resins, hardeners and solvents. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye protection. If working in confined areas, suitable protective equipment must be used. The use of barrier creams provide additional skin protection.
If poisoning occurs, contact a Doctor. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting-give a glass of water. If in eyes, hold eyes open, flood with water for at least 15 minutes and see a doctor. If skin contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly.
If any adverse reaction to contact with these or any industrial chemicals, patient should be transported immediately to a doctor or hospital. Product Material Safety Data Sheets for any Cormix product are available to users on request. Read MSDS and data sheet carefully before first use. Fire: Floorgard HP is non-flammable.
