{"product_id":"watco-flowtop","title":"Watco Flowtop","description":"\u003cp\u003eWatco Flowtop is a fibre-reinforced topping for resurfacing rough, worn or damaged interior concrete. It pours and spreads over the prepared floor to create a smooth, non-dusting working surface for warehouses, production areas, workshops and showrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNormally laid at 3mm, the resurfacer can be increased to 15mm over more uneven areas. It can be left as an industrial finish or painted with a compatible coating after curing. Mid Grey, Tile Red, Stone, Blue and Green options allow you to choose a finish to suit the area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSurface Preparation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemove loose surface material and heavy oil or grease contamination. Remove poorly bonded paint or sealer, and check the technical guidance where coatings remain. Flowtop is intended for rough or damaged concrete, rather than very smooth or powerfloated floors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo primers are included. Dampen bare concrete with clean water and leave for 20–30 minutes. Brush on Primer 1 and allow at least 15–20 minutes to soak in. Apply Primer 2 as a thin, even film, avoiding puddles. Place Flowtop while Primer 2 is wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Data\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePack size is 25kg, including powder, resin and two primers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComposition is fibre-reinforced cement-based powder mixed with resin at use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoverage is approximately 3.7m² at 3mm, 2.3m² at 5mm or 1.1m² at 10mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNormal application depth is 3–15mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse within the product page’s 10–30°C application range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt 15–20°C and normal depths, allow about six hours for light traffic and 24–36 hours for full use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShelf life is 12 months unopened.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDirections for Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMix the complete powder and resin pack with a slow-speed drill and mixing blade until the colour is even and the consistency is creamy, normally taking 3–5 minutes. For coloured grades, follow the pack instructions for adding the pigment and water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePour over the wet second primer and spread to the chosen thickness with a rectangular trowel. Immediately work a spiked roller across the area in different directions to release air and improve the finish. Stop rolling as the material begins to set, and within 20 minutes of application. Clean tools with water before the material cures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLimitations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eColour can vary with the cement and site conditions. Where a uniform decorative appearance is essential, consider a suitable coating. Water-based epoxy coatings can generally be applied after 24–36 hours, while non-water-based coatings require seven days. Check compatibility and avoid strong solvents such as xylene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvoid sugar-contaminated substrates. Condition the pack at 15–25°C for eight hours before use and protect from freezing. Lower temperatures extend curing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct FAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the primers included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
