Indigo Floracem – Decorative Cement Paint (Water Repellent)

Indigo Floracem Cement Paint (Flooring Paint): Durable Finish for Floors

For areas subject to foot traffic where functionality and durability are key, Indigo Floracem Cement Paint (Flooring Paint) is the economical and reliable choice. This specialized, ready-to-use cement-based coating is engineered specifically for horizontal surfaces like cement floors, driveways, and pathways. It provides a highly opaque, protective layer that resists abrasion and helps to seal the surface against dusting.

The unique formulation of Indigo Floracem Cement Paint delivers excellent adhesion to porous concrete and mortar surfaces. Unlike standard wall paint, it is designed to withstand the wear and tear of moderate foot and vehicle traffic, making it an ideal choice for both residential garages and commercial storage floors. It transforms dull, gray cement into a vibrant, easy-to-clean area.

Why Choose Indigo Floracem Cement Paint?

Standard paint will quickly fail on floors. Floracem is engineered for the job:

• High Scrub Resistance: Formulated to endure regular foot traffic and cleaning, maintaining its color and integrity longer than general-purpose paints.
• Excellent Coverage & Opacity: This cement-based paint provides superior hiding power, effectively covering stains and old marks in just two coats.
• Reduces Dusting: Concrete floors naturally shed dust. A coat of Indigo Floracem Cement Paint helps bind the surface, significantly reducing dust creation.
• Cost-Effective: Provides a durable, aesthetic upgrade to floors at a much lower cost than epoxy or tile systems.

How to Apply Indigo Floracem Cement Paint

Proper preparation is crucial for adhesion on horizontal surfaces:

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the cement floor is clean, dry, and free of oil, grease, and old flaky paint. Treat any oil spots with a strong detergent solution.
2. Mixing: Mix the Indigo Floracem Cement Paint powder slowly with water until a thick, uniform slurry consistency is achieved. Allow 5-10 minutes standing time for the ingredients to react.
3. Pre-Wetting (Crucial): Thoroughly wet the floor surface with clean water until saturated. The surface should be damp but not pooling water when applying the first coat.
4. Application: Apply the first coat immediately after pre-wetting using a large brush or roller. Ensure the coating is uniform.
5. Curing & Recoat: Allow 6-8 hours drying time. Apply the second coat. The floor should be protected from water for at least 7 days for proper curing. Follow proper techniques for concrete floor painting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is this paint suitable for heavy vehicle traffic?
A: Indigo Floracem Cement Paint is suitable for light to moderate foot and occasional vehicle traffic. For forklift or continuous heavy traffic, a specialized epoxy floor coating is recommended.

Q: Does this provide waterproofing?
A: While it reduces dusting and slows moisture ingress, it is not a dedicated waterproofing product. For serious dampness issues, a proper waterproofing solution should be applied beneath the floor.

Q: Can I apply this over tiles?
A: No, this is designed for cementitious surfaces only. It will not adhere to smooth ceramic or glazed tiles.
