Indigo Floor Coat Emulsion: Economical and Durable Coating for Cement Floors
Refresh dull, porous concrete and cement floors into durable, attractive surfaces with Indigo Floor Coat Emulsion. This reliable, water-based acrylic coating is designed to handle regular foot traffic, minor abrasion, and frequent cleaning. It is a cost-effective solution perfect for residential garages, utility rooms, balconies, and light commercial spaces where basic protection and a fresh look are required.
Unlike standard wall paint, this floor coat emulsion is formulated to resist dusting and provide a non-porous layer that protects the concrete. It offers a smooth, semi-gloss finish that significantly enhances the aesthetic appeal and hygiene of high-traffic floor areas.
Why Choose Indigo Floor Coat Emulsion?
Applying wall paint on a floor is inefficient; it lacks the necessary hardness. This specialized floor paint offers specific advantages for floor applications:
- Good Durability: Provides necessary resistance to scuff marks and daily wear from chairs and general foot traffic.
- Dust-Proof Finish: It effectively seals the porous cement, preventing the release of fine cement dust common in garages and basements.
- Water & Moisture Resistance: Forms a sealed surface that repels water and prevents moisture from damaging the substrate.
- Cost-Effective: Delivers good performance and coverage at an economical price point compared to premium PU-modified systems.

How to Apply Indigo Floor Coat Emulsion (Professional Guide)
Proper surface preparation is crucial for adhesion on concrete:
- Surface Preparation (CRITICAL): The floor must be completely cured (at least 28 days), clean, and free of oil, grease, wax, and curing compounds. Grind or acid-etch the surface if it is very smooth or sealed.
- Repair: Fill all major cracks and holes using a suitable concrete repair compound.
- First Coat (Primer): Dilute the Floor Coat Emulsion with 10% clean water (as per instructions). Apply this thinned coat and allow it to penetrate the concrete. Allow 6-8 hours to dry.
- Second Coat: Apply the second coat undiluted or with minimal water (max 5%). Use a short-nap roller or brush.
- Curing: Avoid foot traffic for 24 hours. Allow 5–7 days for full chemical curing before subjecting the floor to heavy use or parking vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is this paint suitable for heavy vehicle traffic?
A: No, it is designed for light vehicle and foot traffic. For heavy industrial use, a specialized epoxy system should be used.
Q: Can I use this on vertical walls?
A: While possible, it is formulated for floors. For vertical surfaces, use a dedicated exterior wall emulsion that focuses on UV colour stability.
