Extreme Quick-Dry Alkyd Floor Paint for Concrete Surfaces 20.0 kg

Extreme Paints Quick-Dry Alkyd Floor Paint is a high-performance, fast-curing industrial floor coating developed for projects that demand speed, durability, and long-lasting protection. Engineered with a modified alkyd resin system, it bridges the gap between conventional acrylic coatings and solvent-based polyurethane, delivering polyurethane-like toughness with the added benefit of rapid drying times.

Unlike ordinary floor paints that take days to cure, this product can be recoated within 2–4 hours, significantly reducing downtime in busy commercial or domestic settings. Once cured, it forms a hardwearing satin finish that withstands forklift and vehicle traffic, pallet trucks, chemical spills, salts, and solvents. The satin sheen not only looks professional but also creates an easy-clean surface that keeps dust and dirt under control. 

For areas where slip hazards are a concern, the optional pre-measured silica additive can be stirred in to provide a fine anti-slip texture, making it suitable for ramps, loading bays, corridors, and food-prep areas.

This alkyd floor paint is manufactured in the UK under ISO 9001 quality controls, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency and professional performance. Available in 5L, 10L, and 20L tins, it caters to both DIY users coating a home garage and contractors tackling warehouses, agricultural bays, or industrial flooring projects. To ensure maximum adhesion and prevent delamination, bare or porous slabs should be primed with Extreme Seal Concrete Dustproofer & Primer before applying two cross-direction coats.

Suitable Substrates:

Extreme Paints Quick-Dry Alkyd Floor Paint is compatible with a wide range of flooring surfaces, making it extremely versatile:

• Standard concrete and screeds: ideal for workshops, garages, and factories.

• Timber flooring: creates a durable and washable finish on wooden workspaces.

• Mild steel: provided surfaces are abraded, degreased, and primed where necessary.

• Porous masonry: blockwork or stone floors that require dust-proofing and a satin finish.

Not recommended for direct application over existing solvent- or oil-based coatings unless they are fully removed or adhesion tested.

Available Colours:

Choose from 12 durable satin shades that balance aesthetics with industrial practicality: Light Grey, Grey, Dark Grey, Black, White, Blue, Red, Post Office Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, and Dark Green.
For large-scale commercial or branding projects, custom BS and RAL colours are available on bulk orders of 100L+, making it suitable for safety zoning, colour-coding, or company branding across warehouses and production areas.

Coverage & Spread Rate:

• Approx. 6–8 m² per litre per coat on smooth, prepared concrete.

• A 5L tin typically covers 15–20 m² (two coats), while 20L tins cover 60+ m² depending on porosity.

• Always apply two thin coats at right angles for optimum film build, durability, and colour consistency.

Drying & Curing Times (@ 18 °C):

• Touch dry: 2–4 hours (add 1 hour for anti-slip version)

• Recoat: 2–4 hours

• Light foot traffic: 12 hours

• Vehicle traffic: 48 hours

• Full cure / chemical resistance: 7 days

This quick drying profile makes it especially suitable for businesses and homeowners who cannot afford long shutdowns, allowing spaces to return to service far sooner than traditional systems.

Storage & Clean-Up:

• Store sealed tins between 5–25 °C, away from frost, direct sunlight, and ignition sources.

• Clean tools with white spirit while still wet.

• Always reseal firmly between uses to avoid skinning or contamination.

Although formulated as low odour, this alkyd floor paint still contains solvents and should always be applied in a well-ventilated area. Avoid inhalation of vapours and prolonged skin contact; protective gloves and eyewear are recommended. Keep away from naked flames or sparks, and store securely out of reach of children.
