VP Floor / Wall Sealer is a water-based, highly wear-resistant coating for sealing walls and floors. VP Floor / Wall Sealer is completely transparent with an ultra-matte finish.
Pros and Cons
- Wear and scratch-resistant
- Easy to apply
- Water-based
- Not suitable for outdoor use
Where can I use VP Floor/Wall Sealer?
VP Floor / Wall Sealer is ideal for protecting walls against grease and chemicals. It is commonly used for kitchen splashbacks or bathroom walls that need waterproofing. With its ultra-matte appearance, it looks perfect on both floors and walls.
Application of VP Floor/Wall Sealer
We recommend applying several thin layers of the Floor/Wall Sealer instead of one thick layer, as a thick application may cause the floor or wall to warp and result in streaks or marks.
For the first coat, dilute it with 5 to 10% water. The second and any following layers should be applied undiluted.
Allow the coating to dry for a full day before applying the next layer under normal conditions, such as at a temperature of 20°C. Humidity also plays a role. If a thicker layer is applied, the coating will require more time to dry. The complete curing process takes up to 14 days.
Always use a nylon roller with a short pile for application. Should you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
Can I use VP Wall / Floor Sealer outdoors?
VP Floor / Wall Sealer is not suitable for outdoor projects as it lacks a UV filter, meaning discolouration may occur. However, the Wall / Floor Sealer is also ideal as an extra protective layer over the Epoxy WA coating. It is highly recommended for use in places like garages as protection against tyre marks, serving as an excellent topcoat.
Batch
We always recommend using the same batch. Variations between batch numbers may result in slight differences. Ensure your project is completed with the same batch number.
Is VP Wall / Floor Sealer suitable for garages?
VP Floor / Wall Sealer is very suitable for garages, especially as a finishing layer over an existing epoxy coating for added protection. It can also be applied directly onto a porous floor. Additionally, it serves as a protective topcoat over Epoxy WA if needed.
Can I use VP Floor / Wall Sealer in my living room?
VP Floor / Wall Sealer is highly durable and scratch-resistant, making it a great option for living spaces. It offers an ultra-matte finish and can be applied as a transparent topcoat over VP Ecopox WA or directly to the floor itself.
What is the drying time for VP Floor/Wall Sealer?
Drying times for two-component products depend greatly on humidity and temperature. Below is an estimate under typical conditions (20°C):
- Recoatable in 1 day
- Walkable in 1 day
- Light traffic in 2 days
- Heavy traffic in 7 days
- Dust dry in 3 hours
- Tack-free in 3 hours
- Pot life of 50 minutes
What surfaces is VP Floor / Wall Sealer suitable for?
VP Floor / Wall Sealer is suitable for a range of surfaces. Below is a guide by surface type:
- Rough Concrete: Average coverage is 6 m² per kg; a 10 kg tin covers 60 m². No primer is needed. Dilute the first coat with 5 to 10% water. Degrease, sand lightly, and clean the floor. Apply 2 coats for optimal coverage and thickness.
- Brick: Follow the same method as for rough concrete. Use 2 coats, but for highly heavy-duty areas, add a third transparent PU coating.
- Cement Screed: Similar to above. Coverage is 6 m² per kg; a dry floor below 4% moisture content ensures proper adhesion.
- Self-Levelling Screeds: Coverage averages 8 m² per kg. Ensure floors are fully dried (between 7 and 14 days). Start with a diluted first coat and follow with undiluted applications.
- Polished Concrete: Coverage is between 8-9 m² per kg. Application requires a primer first for proper adhesion, followed by 2 layers of VP Floor / Wall Sealer.
What is the coverage per m² of Wall / Floor Sealer?
The coverage of floor coating largely depends on the surface, making it almost impossible to determine an exact figure. The layer thickness also influences the usage. Below is an overview of the average consumption of VP Floor / Wall Sealer coating for one layer. Keep in mind that layer thickness and porosity may vary:
Rough Concrete The coverage is approximately 6 m² per kg. A 10 kg tin covers around 60 m². No primer is needed for this surface. Dilute the first layer with 5 to 10% water. Degrease, lightly sand, and clean the surface to remove dust. Two layers of VP Floor / Wall Sealer are required for optimal thickness and coverage. The second layer has a coverage of 8 m² per kg; ensure it is applied thinly.
Brick The coverage is approximately 6 m² per kg. A 10 kg tin covers around 60 m². No primer is required. Dilute the first layer with 5 to 10% water. Degrease, lightly sand, and clean the surface. Two coats of VP Floor / Wall Sealer are required for optimal thickness and coverage. For extremely heavy traffic areas, a third transparent PU coating is recommended. The second coat’s coverage is always 8 m² per kg; apply it thinly.
Cement Screed The coverage is about 6 m² per kg. A 10 kg tin covers 60 m². No primer is needed. Dilute the first layer with 5 to 10% water. Degrease, lightly sand, and clean the surface. Two layers of VP Floor / Wall Sealer are required for optimal results. The second layer has a coverage of 8 m² per kg; again, apply it thinly.
Self-Levelling Screed The coverage is approximately 8 m² per kg. A 10 kg tin covers 80 m². No primer is required. Dilute the first layer with 5 to 10% water. Degrease, lightly sand, and clean the surface. Two layers of VP Floor / Wall Sealer are necessary for optimal thickness and coverage. The second coat’s coverage is around 8-9 m² per kg; ensure it is applied thinly.
Existing Paint Layer The coverage is about 8 m² per kg. A 10 kg tin covers 80 m². No primer is required. Dilute the first layer with 5 to 10% water. Degrease, lightly sand, and clean the wall. Two layers of VP Floor / Wall Sealer are essential for a strong finish. The coverage of the second layer is always 8 m² per kg; apply it thinly.
Polished Concrete The coverage varies between 8-9 m² per kg. A 10 kg tin covers approximately 80 m². Degreasing and machine sanding are required, as proper adhesion won’t occur without this preparation. For the second layer, the coverage is 8-9 m² per kg; ensure to apply it thinly.
What is the mixing ratio for VP Wall / Floor Sealer?
VP Wall / Floor Sealer has a mixing ratio of 2 : 1. This means two parts coating to one part hardener. For a 5 kg tin, this translates to:
- Floor Sealer 3.35 kg
- Floor Sealer Hardener 1.65 kg
Which brush should I use for epoxy coating?
We recommend using a disposable brush for applying VP Floor / Wall Sealer. Since this coating makes it difficult to clean brushes afterwards, it’s best to opt for a cheaper, disposable option.
Which paint roller should I use?
We advise using a nylon roller for applying VP Floor / Wall Sealer. Nylon rollers are ideal as they ensure perfect application thickness and a streak-free result. Like the brush, the roller can also be discarded after use.
