Epoxy Floor Screed for Concrete Floors & Epoxy Flooring

Coverage Guide for Epoxy Floor Screed
- 10kg covers approximately 0.5m² at 5mm thickness
- Typical application thickness: 5–10mm

Tip: Multiply your total area (m²) by the required thickness to estimate how many units you need.

Where Can Epoxy Floor Screed Be Used?

Suitable for epoxy flooring applications in garages, workshops, and industrial units.
- Garage floor screed applications
- Workshops and warehouse flooring
- Industrial units and commercial floors
- Refurbishing worn or uneven concrete floors

This epoxy screed is ideal for creating strong, level surfaces in both domestic and industrial environments.

What Problems Does Epoxy Floor Screed Solve?
- Uneven or damaged concrete floors
- Dusting or weak surfaces
- Worn or failing floor screeds
- Surfaces requiring a durable, easy-clean finish

Finish & Performance of Epoxy Screed & Epoxy Flooring Systems
- Creates a smooth, level concrete floor finish
- Highly resistant to wear, chemicals, and impact
- Suitable for pedestrian and vehicular traffic
- Long-lasting, low-maintenance flooring solution

This epoxy floor screed is commonly used as a heavy-duty epoxy flooring solution where strength and durability are essential.

How to Apply Epoxy Floor Screed

Step 1: Prepare the Floor
Ensure the concrete floor is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material.Remove loose material by grit blasting or wire brushing.

Step 2: Apply Primer
Apply Antel Epoxy Floor Primer to the prepared surface. Work in manageable areas so the epoxy screed can be applied while the primer is still tacky.

Step 3: Mix the Epoxy Screed
Remove the A and B packs from the polythene bucket. Pour the entire contents of both packs A and B into a suitable mixing vessel. Mix the liquids together thoroughly on a slow speed. Mix the aggregates together in the polythene bucket and slowly add the liquids into the mixer vessel. Continue until all the aggregate has been added, continually mixing until a uniform mix is achieved.

Step 4: Apply the Screed
Spread evenly using a trowel or float to create a smooth, level floor finish. Typical application thickness is 5–10mm.

Step 5: Allow to Cure
Pot life: approx. 45 minutes at 25°C
Initial set: approx. 7 hours at 25°C (20 hours at 10°C)
Full cure: 2–7 days depending on conditions

Step 6: Optional Finish
For added protection or aesthetics, overcoat with Antel Floor Paints. Clean tools immediately after use.
Tools should be cleaned between each mix in order not to contaminate fresh mixes with partially cured material.

Description
Three-part epoxy floor screed system designed to create durable, level concrete flooring where traditional screeds are not sufficient.

Packaging
10kg and 28kg units.

Colour
Typically grey. Custom colours available on request (non-returnable when made to order).

Coverage
10kg covers approximately 0.5m² at 5mm thickness on a smooth substrate.

Storage & Shelf Life
Store in cool, dry conditions. Protect from freezing. Shelf life: 12 months in sealed containers. Keep out of reach for children.

Typical Performance Properties

Chemical Resistance
Complete chemical resistance over long periods for nearly all flooring systems can be an unobtainable goal and if obtained normally result in decreased performance in other areas such as colour formation and increased toxicity.

Here is a cross section of resistance figures for Antel Mortar.

Reagent (Acid)
5% Citric Acid = R 6 Months (1.9)
5% Acetic Acid = R 6 Months (6.9)
30% Nitric Acid = R 6 Months (4.5)
50% Phosphoric Acid = R 6 Months (19.0)
36% Hydrochloric Acid = R 6 Months (6.7)
75% Sulphuric Acid = LR 1 Week (Destroyed)

Abrasion Resistance
Coatings of floor systems should be resistant against daily wear and tear caused by frictional forces from foot traffic and cleaning. Load bearing properties and toughness are particularly important in flooring for vehicular usage in order for stress forces to be dissipated without chipping or cracking associated with poor abrasive resistance occurring.

10 x 10 x 0.4 cm cast sheets of unfilled binder were allowed to cure for 14 days at 25°C and determined for abrasive resistance under ASTM D 4060-90 using model 5130 Taber Abrader with a C5 -17 abrading wheel under 1 kg weight to replicate the pedestrian or vehicular traffic. Castings were subject to 1000 cycles with weight loss reported per 200 cycles. Results show improved performance with a weight loss of 17 mg compared with 23 mg for the industry standard flooring mortar.

Other performance properties.
Compressive Strength = 76N/mm2
Tensile strength = 13N/mm2
Flexural Strength = 27N/mm2
Reagent (Organic Solvent)
Acetone = R 3 Hours (Destroyed)
Diethyl ether = R 6 Months (3.5)
Ethyl Acetate = LR 3 Days (11.7)
Methylated Spirit = R 6 Months (7.2)
Toluene = R 6 months (0.9)
Xylene = R 6 months (0.7)
R =Resistant to vehicular traffic
LR = Limited Resistance (Pedestrian Only)

Water Spot Resistance
A 200 m film was applied to a panel and cured at 10°C A saturated cotton ball was placed on the film following a 24 hour 48 hour 72 hour and 96 hour cure and left in place for a further 24 hours. After each period the film was examined for carbonation in the form of white spots. Results show excellent resistance to carbonation.
