SF1000 is a two-component, solvent-free epoxy coating for concrete, polymer-modified and epoxy screed floors. Applied in two high-build coats, it produces a hard, seamless and chemically resistant surface designed for medium-to-heavy traffic. Anti-slip finishes, decorative flakes, antibacterial options and colour matching are also available.
Unlike conventional solvent-based floor paints, SF1000 contains no solvent that evaporates during curing. Virtually everything applied remains on the floor, allowing approximately 200 µm dry-film thickness per coat and over 400 µm protection from a two-coat system. This creates a substantially more robust coating than a typical thin-film solvent-based paint.
SF1000 is designed for medium-to-heavy traffic environments including factories, production areas, garages and warehouses. ASTM D4060 abrasion testing recorded just 35 mg loss using CS10 wheels at 1 kg/1000 cycles, demonstrating excellent wear resistance, while the coating achieved a 7H hardness rating in scratch-resistance testing.
Reliable adhesion is critical to the longevity of an epoxy floor. SF1000 achieved 4 MPa pull-off adhesion with 100% cohesive substrate failure in ASTM D4541 / ISO 4624 testing. Correct mechanical preparation remains important, particularly on smooth, contaminated, power-floated or previously coated floors.
The cured coating is impermeable to water, oils and other liquids and provides excellent resistance to a broad range of chemicals. Laboratory testing recorded excellent resistance to methanol, xylene, ethanol, Skydrol, concentrated sodium hydroxide, sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid and salt water, with good resistance to dilute acetic acid.
SF1000 creates a smooth, seamless surface without joints or porous areas where dirt and contaminants can readily accumulate. Wet-scrub testing confirmed that the coating can be cleaned without damage, making it suitable for hygiene-sensitive environments such as food-production areas, hospitals and other locations requiring easily maintained surfaces.
Slip resistance can be tailored using Resient fine, medium or coarse anti-slip aggregates. With the tested slip additive, SF1000 achieved Pendulum Test Values of 65 dry and 62 wet. Decorative coloured-flake systems are also available, together with colour matching and antibacterial options where required.
SF1000 is intended for demanding concrete and screeded floors where conventional decorative floor paints may not provide sufficient build, wear resistance or chemical protection. Its seamless, impermeable finish makes it particularly suitable for industrial, automotive, hygiene-sensitive and containment applications:
Its combination of wear resistance, adhesion and chemical resistance makes it particularly useful where conventional decorative floor paints may not provide sufficient durability.
