Achieving a professional, long-lasting floor finish starts with using the right materials and following a precise process. Florida Paints Flo-Spartic polyaspartic coatings are engineered for durability, chemical resistance, and UV stability, making them an ideal choice for high-performance floor systems. When installed correctly, Flo-Spartic provides a smooth, resilient surface that stands up to heavy foot traffic, vehicles, and everyday wear.
Step 1: Mix the Flo-Spartic Polyaspartic
Flo-Spartic features a simple 1:1 mixing ratio. Begin by pouring Part A (resin) into a clean mixing bucket. If you are adding one of Florida Paints’ color pods, pour half of the color pod into Part A first, mixing by hand for 45 seconds to one minute until the color is fully uniform. Next, add Part B (deactivator) and hand mix thoroughly for another 45 seconds to one minute. It is important to only hand mix Flo-Spartic—do not use a drill mixer, as this can negatively affect the coating’s performance. Proper mixing ensures even color, full curing, and the coating’s signature durability.
Step 2: Apply the Product
Once mixed, pour only the amount of Flo-Spartic you plan to use immediately onto the prepared surface. Keep any remaining mixture in the bucket to extend your working time. Spread the coating evenly using a squeegee, then back roll to create a uniform finish. Proper coverage is key to maximizing the coating’s scratch resistance, chemical resistance, and UV stability. Allow the recommended cure times before permitting foot traffic or vehicle access, following all product guidelines closely to ensure optimal performance.
Tips for a Smooth Installation
- Always apply Flo-Spartic over a prepared base, such as an epoxy or polyurea coat.
- Work in manageable sections to maintain wet edges and prevent streaking.
- Always hand mix, never drill mix
- Monitor ambient temperature and humidity to maintain the coating’s performance and working time.
- Customize the topcoat with color pods or anti-slip additives for both aesthetics and safety.
