Polyurethane Garage Floor Coating (1100 sqft) - Griptop P

Materials Needed:

• Strongcoat Primer/S
• Griptop P
• Roller
• Brush
• Sandpaper
• Spray machine (optional)
• Silica sand (optional for slip resistance)

Step 1: Surface Preparation

• Begin by thoroughly cleaning the concrete surface using a concrete surface cleaner. Remove all dirt, dust, and debris from the floor.
• Inspect the floor for any oil traces and use a degreaser to remove them completely.
• Identify and repair any holes, cracks, or rough spots on the concrete surface.
• Once the patches are dry, use sandpaper to smooth out any uneven areas and rough spots. Sweep or vacuum up any dust created during this process.

Step 2: Primer Application

• Ensure the Strongcoat Primer/S components are well mixed.
• Use a roller to apply the Strongcoat Primer/S evenly over the prepared concrete surface. Make sure to start from one corner and work your way towards the exit to avoid walking on the coated area.
• Pay special attention to edges and corners, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
• Allow the primer to completely dry. If additional coats are needed, wait until the previous coat is dry before applying the next one.

Step 3: Griptop P Application

• Thoroughly mix the Griptop P components to ensure a consistent mixture.
• Use a brush, epoxy roller, or a spray machine to apply the first coat of Griptop P evenly across the primed surface. Similar to the primer application, start from a corner and work towards the exit.
• Optional: If you want to add extra slip resistance, you can broadcast silica sand onto the wet Griptop P coating while it is still tacky. Make sure to evenly distribute the silica sand.
• Allow the first coat of Griptop P to cure for the recommended time, usually within 24 hours.
• Apply the second coat of Griptop P within 24 hours of the first coat. Ensure even coverage, and pay attention to edges and corners.
• Refer to the technical datasheet for Griptop P for more detailed information on drying times, coverage rates, and any specific instructions.
