RESION Clear epoxy floor coating

With this epoxy you can make a beautiful clear cast floor yourself. This system is perfect for creating a beautiful transparent floor coating. This allows you to preserve the appearance of the substrate, while benefiting from epoxy’s excellent mechanical strength and chemical resistance. As the name suggests, this epoxy floor coating is completely transparent. The epoxy system is UV-stabilised, making it resistant to yellowing. Combined with the right primer, the transparent floor coating can be applied to concrete, sand-cement, anhydrite, granite and tile floors, among others.

You can apply it in thin layers with a roller or, if you wish, pour it in thicker layers. The epoxy then levels out completely flat.

Applications Clear epoxy floor coating

Clear floor coating is ideal if you want to keep the substrate visible, but are looking for additionale protection. It is therefore often used for the following applications:

• As a gloss layer on (damaged) tile floors.
• As a protective layer on cement-bonded floors (concrete, sand-cement, anhydrite).
• As a glass-like layer on 3D floors.

Directions for use 

This product has a working time of 60 to 90 minutes. Once applied, the epoxy is walkable after approximately 48 hours. This depends on the room temperature. After about 7 days, the coating is fully cured.

Step 1. Prepare the floor

Clean the surface thoroughly by vacuuming and cleaning with ammonia and water. This will remove dirt and dust from the floor.

Step 2. Prime the floor

If necessary, use a suitable primer to improve the adhesion of the floor:

• RESION Epoxy Floor Primer SF (porous substrates): concrete, sand cement, anhydrite, wood, etc.
• RESION Epoxy Floor Primer WB (non-porous substrates): tiles, glass, mosaic, granite, etc.

Step 3. Apply the clear coating

• Thoroughly mix the base (A) with the hardener (B) using a spiral mixer and a drill. 
• Pour the epoxy mixture onto the floor in sections and spread it evenly as required. The pot life of the mixture is 60-90 minutes.
• You can use this epoxy flooring system as a floor coating and as a self-levelling floor. Below you will find the consumptions for these applications:

• • Use as a coating: approx. 250 gr/m² per layer.
  • Coverage as a cast floor: approx. 1.1 kg per m² per mm layer thickness.

• After about 48 hours, the epoxy has cured and the floor can be walked on. The curing time is strongly influenced by temperature. At high temperatures, the floor cures faster than at low temperatures. After about 7 days, the epoxy is fully cured.

4. Finishing

You can leave the floor uncoated, but for better scratch resistance, we recommend finishing it with one of the following products:

• High gloss: DD Paint High Gloss
• Silk gloss: RESION Matt Floor Finish

For floors up to ​15 m², DD paint can be applied. On larger floors, we recommend applying RESION Matt Floor Finish.
