Flowcrete Flowcoat Flooring

Types of Flowcoat for Floors

Flowcoat / Flowshield LXP

Flowcoat / Flowshield LXP is a two-component, solvent-free, flexible, polyurethane floor coating. It’s ideal for places needing a strong flooring solution. Its flexibility helps absorb impacts and vibrations, making it great for heavy mechanical stress. The solvent-free formula means low emissions for better indoor air quality. The coloured finish is visually appealing, letting facility managers match or improve the existing decor.

Uses of Flowshield LXP

Flowcoat / Flowshield LXP is a self-smoothing product for use on concrete, steel, and asphalt surfaces where a flexible coating is needed. It provides a seamless surface, perfect for tough environments. Flowcoat LXP is applied in two coats as a roller paint at 0.5 kg/m² per coat, creating a strong barrier that increases the lifespan of the substrate. In contrast, Flowshield LXP is applied in one layer at 2.3 kg/m², ensuring a smooth finish that handles mechanical stress and provides great load-bearing capacity.

Application Temperature

For applying Flowcoat / Flowshield LXP, keep the substrate temperature between 15 – 25°C, with at least 10°C. Make sure the substrate’s temperature is 3°C above the “dew point” during application and hardening to avoid moisture problems. Also, don’t let temperatures drop below 5°C in the first 24 hours after application to ensure the flooring cures and performs well.

Product Benefits

• Flexibility: Able to withstand a higher degree of movement compared to epoxy alternatives.
• Seamless: Delivers a seamless finish, except for underlying slab joints.
• Chemical Resistant: Excellent resistance to cleaning agents, sugars and acids.
• Easy to Clean: Seamless installation ensures easily cleaned dirt and dust.
• Low Odour: Solvent-free and exhibits low odour during application.

Flowcoat LXP HD

Flowcoat LXP HD is a two-component, solvent-free, flexible, polyurethane-based floor coating. This high-density version is made for areas that need extra strength and flexibility. It’s ideal for spaces with heavy loads and changing temperatures, providing a tough surface that handles impacts and reduces vibration damage. Low emissions and a solvent-free formula improve indoor air quality, making it safer for workers and equipment. The coloured finish offers design options, perfect for adding style to industrial facility interiors.

Uses of Flowcoat LXP HD

Flowcoat LXP HD is a self-smoothing product for concrete, steel, and asphalt surfaces needing a flexible coating with abrasion resistance. It’s perfect for areas facing constant wear while needing a tough, adaptable surface. An elongation at a break of about 40% offers the flexibility to handle impacts without damaging the coating. Applied in two coats with a roller or brush at 0.5 kg/m² per coat, it ensures a durable finish that improves the substrate’s performance and lifespan.

Application Temperature

For best results, keep the substrate temperature between 10 – 25°C when applying Flowcoat LXP HD. Make sure it’s at least 3°C above the dew point during application and hardening to dodge moisture issues. Keep it above 5°C for the first day after application to ensure good curing and performance.

Curing Time(at 20°C)

• Tack-free in 6 hours (10 hours at 10°C).
• Walkable after 16 hours (30 hours at 10°C).
• Overcoat within 24 hours.
• Ready for full use after 24 hours (36 hours at 10°C).
• Fully hardened in 5 – 7 days.
• High humidity early on may cause white, matt surfaces.
• Don’t cover or wash within the first 24 hours.

Colour Stability

Flowcoat LXP HD isn’t colourfast and may become yellow over time due to UV light and heat. This change is more visible in light colours and blues but doesn’t affect flexibility or resistance to chemicals. We’ve chosen colours that help keep your floor looking good for longer.

Product Benefits

• Heavy Duty: Highly resistant to abrasion.
• Flexibility: Withstands more movement than epoxy alternatives.
• Seamless: Provides a smooth finish, except over slab joints.
• Chemical Resistant: Stands up well to cleaning agents, sugars, and acids.
• Easy to Clean: Seamless installation makes cleaning a breeze.
• Low Odour: Solvent free with low odour during application.

Flowcoat SF41

Flowcoat SF41 is a two-component epoxy floor coating system with adjustable anti-slip properties. This rugged product provides a seamless finish with strong wear resistance, perfect for medium . Flowcoat SF41 handles mechanical abrasion and chemical exposure, making it a smart pick for facilities needing durability and looks. It applies easily on surfaces like concrete and steel, delivering a long-lasting, functional layer. Its adhesion ensures it stays put even in tough conditions.

Uses of Flowcoat SF41

Flowcoat SF41 offers a practical, easy-to-clean, chemical-resistant floor coating with an option for a non-slip finish.
