Aquepoxy® Water-Based Epoxy Floor Coating

Aquepoxy® is a two-pack water-based epoxy with a 25-year history protecting concrete floors. Low-odour flooring for car parks, warehouses, workshops and garages. Formerly manufactured by Cavco Products, now part of Fortis Adhesives & Coatings.

Information

Aquepoxy® is a two-component water-based epoxy with a 25-year history protecting concrete floors. Formerly manufactured by Cavco Products, this established coating is now part of Fortis Adhesives & Coatings.

Its hard-wearing finish protects interior concrete against abrasion, oils, petrol and grease. Low odour and water clean-up make it a practical choice for industrial, commercial and residential floors.

Typical applications include multi-level car parks, large commercial complexes, factories, warehouses, workshops, restaurants and garage floors.

The coloured range provides a low-sheen finish. Clear Gloss and Line White options are also available. Contact Fortis for colour selection and availability.

Aquepoxy® follows the existing surface profile. It does not level uneven concrete or replace repairs to damaged surfaces. Correct preparation and adequate airflow during curing are essential.

Where additional slip resistance is required, use the specified aggregate and coating system. Performance depends on the complete installed finish.

For high-build or self-levelling flooring, explore the Fortis epoxy floor coating range.

Contact Fortis for Aquepoxy® pricing, technical documents and application advice.

Product Application

Typical Applications

Aquepoxy® is suitable for interior concrete floors in multi-level and basement car parks, large commercial complexes, factories, warehouses, workshops, restaurants, plant rooms and residential garages.

Application

Prepare the substrate to provide a sound, clean surface. Remove contamination, weak material and failed coatings. Assess existing finishes for compatibility and adhesion.

Mix Part A and Part B at 3:2 by volume. Apply at least two coats by roller, maintaining a wet edge. Do not dilute unless specified by Fortis.

Provide airflow across the floor during drying and curing. Follow the current Technical Data Sheet for complete mixing, preparation, application and return-to-service requirements.

Surfaces

Aquepoxy® is intended for sound, correctly prepared interior concrete floors.

Compatible existing coatings may be recoated after suitable preparation and successful adhesion testing. Remove peeling or flaking coatings before application.

Contact Fortis before use on masonry, flooring-grade plywood or particleboard. Aquepoxy® is not recommended for natural timber floors, polished surfaces or continuous water immersion.

FAQs

What is Aquepoxy®?

Aquepoxy® is a two-pack water-based epoxy with a 25-year history protecting concrete floors. Formerly manufactured by Cavco Products, it is now part of Fortis Adhesives & Coatings.

Is Aquepoxy® suitable for car parks and large complexes?

Yes. Typical applications include interior multi-level car parks, commercial complexes, workshops and garages. Correct preparation, film build and curing are essential.

Can Aquepoxy® be used in restaurants?

Yes, on suitable interior concrete floors. Select the coating system to suit cleaning, traffic and slip-resistance requirements. Contact Fortis for project advice.

Does Aquepoxy® level uneven concrete?

No. It follows the existing surface profile. Repair defects before coating. Contact Fortis if a self-levelling epoxy system is required.

Can I apply Aquepoxy® over existing paint?

Only where the coating is sound, compatible and correctly prepared. Complete an adhesion test before proceeding. Remove peeling or flaking coatings.

Is Aquepoxy® suitable outdoors?

It is primarily intended for interior use. Epoxy coatings can chalk and change appearance in sunlight. Contact Fortis before specifying exterior applications.

Is Aquepoxy® slip resistant?

Slip performance depends on the complete coating system. Contact Fortis for the appropriate aggregate, application specification and supporting test report.

Where can I obtain technical assistance?

Contact Fortis for product selection, substrate preparation and application advice.
