Why Use Epoxy Floor Paint in Kenya?
Concrete floors in Kenya commonly suffer from dusting, oil stains, tyre marks and moisture damage. A two pack epoxy coating chemically bonds to concrete and creates a sealed, washable and durable surface.
- Stops concrete dusting (very common in warehouses)
- Oil and grease resistant (ideal for garages & workshops)
- Easy to clean and hygienic (hospitals & food areas)
- Improves lighting reflection in factories & showrooms
- Long lasting heavy traffic protection
Mixing & Thinning Instructions
Crown Two Pack Epoxy Floor Paint must be mixed accurately. Incorrect ratio is the number one reason epoxy floors fail in Kenya.
Correct Ratio: 4 Parts Epoxy Resin (Part A) : 1 Part Hardener (Part B)
Mix thoroughly for at least 3–5 minutes, scraping the container sides and bottom. Allow a 5–10 minute induction time before application.
Never guess the ratio. Too much hardener causes brittleness. Too little hardener causes a permanently sticky floor.
Thinning
- First coat (primer coat): thin 10–15% with Epoxy Thinner
- Second coat: apply unthinned or max 5–10% thinner
Over-thinning is a major cause of peeling epoxy floors in Kenya. Thin coatings cannot withstand tyre pressure or heavy traffic.
Surface Preparation (MOST IMPORTANT STEP)
Over 80% of epoxy failures come from poor surface preparation — not the paint. Concrete must be prepared correctly before coating.
- Concrete must cure at least 21–28 days
- Remove grease, oil and detergents
- Acid etch or mechanically grind the surface
- Repair cracks and holes
- Remove all dust completely
- Ensure floor is completely dry
Applying epoxy on damp concrete will cause blistering, bubbles and peeling within weeks. This is the most common problem in newly constructed houses in Nairobi estates.
Temperature & Weather Application Advice (Kenyan Conditions)
- Do not apply during rain or high humidity
- Avoid cold nights (below 10°C)
- Best application time: late morning to afternoon
- Do not apply on wet concrete slabs
Moisture rising from the slab (capillary moisture) is a major cause of coating failure in ground floor garages and parking areas.
Application Method
- Short nap epoxy roller (recommended)
- Brush edges first
- Apply 2 coats minimum
Always apply thin even coats. Thick coats trap solvent and delay curing.
Common Uses in Kenya
- Garage floors
- Parking bays
- Car wash areas
- Factories and godowns
- Workshops and mechanical bays
- Hospitals and laboratories
- Retail shops and showrooms
Common Mistakes That Cause Epoxy Floor Failure
- Applying on damp concrete
- Wrong mixing ratio
- No surface grinding or etching
- Too much thinner
- Applying thick coats
- Applying over dusty floors
Most peeling epoxy floors in Kenya are caused by moisture or poor preparation — not product quality.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Crown Two Pack Epoxy Floor Paint used for in Kenya?
Crown Two Pack Epoxy Floor Paint is a heavy-duty concrete floor coating used to stop dust, resist oil stains, and protect floors from wear. In Kenya it is commonly applied on garage floors, warehouses, parking bays, workshops, factories, and car wash areas.
What is the correct mixing ratio for Crown Two Pack Epoxy Floor Paint?
The correct mixing ratio is 4 parts resin (Part A) to 1 part hardener (Part B) by volume. Accurate measuring is essential because the wrong ratio causes sticky floors or incomplete curing.
How long does Crown Two Pack Epoxy Floor Paint take to dry?
Touch dry in 4–6 hours, recoatable after 12–24 hours, walking allowed after 24–48 hours, full curing strength in 5–7 days.
What coverage does Crown Two Pack Epoxy Floor Paint provide per litre?
Approximately 6–8 m² per litre per coat on properly prepared concrete. Rough or porous floors will consume more paint.
Can Crown Two Pack Epoxy Floor Paint stop concrete floor dusting?
Yes, it seals the concrete surface and permanently eliminates floor dusting, very common in new buildings, godowns, and warehouses in Kenya.
Can Crown Two Pack Epoxy Floor Paint be applied on newly constructed concrete floors?
Only after 21–28 days of curing. Applying earlier traps moisture and causes peeling or bubbling.
Can Crown Two Pack Epoxy Floor Paint be applied over ceramic tiles?
No. Tiles must be removed or mechanically ground and properly primed before coating.
Why does Crown Two Pack Epoxy Floor Paint peel after application?
Peeling is usually due to damp concrete, poor surface prep, wrong mixing ratio, dusty floors, or excessive thinner—not product quality.
When can a car be parked on a Crown Two Pack Epoxy Floor Paint surface?
After 5–7 days, which is the full curing period required for proper hardness and tyre resistance.
Is Crown Two Pack Epoxy Floor Paint waterproof?
It is water-resistant but should not be applied on wet or moisture-rising concrete. Moisture pressure from below can cause blistering.
How many coats are required?
At least two coats are recommended. High-traffic areas may require three coats for durability.
Can Crown Two Pack Epoxy Floor Paint be used outdoors in Kenya?
Yes, but direct sunlight may slowly cause yellowing. A UV-resistant topcoat is recommended.
Does it require a primer?
Yes, especially on porous concrete. A first coat thinned 10–15% can act as a primer and improve adhesion.
What thinner should be used?
Only Epoxy Thinner. Petrol, kerosene, or normal paint thinner interferes with curing.
How long does a Crown Two Pack Epoxy Floor Paint floor last?
Typically 5–10 years depending on traffic, preparation quality, and maintenance.
