PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Nippon Paint Floorsports 1K Epoxy Hybrid is a high-performance, single-component water-based epoxy hybrid coating specifically engineered for multi-purpose sports surfaces and recreational flooring. Designed for both internal and external use, it is ideal for basketball courts, tennis courts, bicycle lanes, and pedestrian walkways. This innovative coating provides a vibrant, aesthetic finish with exceptional resistance to UV radiation and weathering. Its durable formula offers excellent abrasion resistance and breathability, ensuring long-lasting protection even in high-traffic areas. The system is highly versatile, allowing for varying thicknesses from 0.20mm to 1.0mm through the use of selected quartz aggregates.

Application Instructions

• Application Method: Apply using a Roller, Trowel, or Squeegee depending on the desired system thickness.

• Mixing: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. If using a filled system, ensure quartz aggregates are mixed evenly to maintain a uniform texture.

• Dilution: Ready for use. If necessary, thin with a maximum of 5% clean water to adjust workability.

• Cleaning: Clean all tools and equipment with clean water immediately after use.

• Environment: Ensure the surface temperature is above 10°C and the environment is well-ventilated. Do not apply if rain is imminent.

Recommended Coating System

• Primer: Aqua Primer Sealer or compatible water-based epoxy primer.

• Finishing (2-3 Coats): Nippon Paint Floorsports 1K Epoxy Hybrid.

• Texture (Optional): Can be filled with quartz sand for enhanced slip resistance and thickness.

Surface Preparation

• General Cleaning: Surfaces must be structurally sound, clean, dry, and free from oil, grease, curing compounds, and loose materials.

• Substrate Moisture: Ensure the concrete substrate is fully cured (minimum 28 days) and the moisture content is below 6% (using a Protimeter) or as per technical recommendations.

• Mechanical Preparation: For optimal adhesion, surfaces should be prepared by light grinding or captive shot blasting to remove laitance and open the pores of the concrete.

• Cracks/Repairs: Repair all cracks, holes, and surface defects using a compatible epoxy filler or patch repair mortar before coating.

• Cleaning: Vacuum or sweep the surface thoroughly to remove all dust and debris after mechanical preparation.
