Using this specific product
Hempel Hempadur Resin HB 35860 is listed here as the Epoxy flooring resin, 300 µm version for epoxy floor and industrial floor. For installing or finishing a floor, the useful question is not simply whether the surface looks finished—it is whether the exact next-action milestone shown above has been reached.
Before you start
- Confirm the package says Epoxy flooring resin, 300 µm; related versions can use different timing.
- For epoxy floor and industrial floor, pay particular attention to subfloor condition, trowel coverage, room temperature and traffic plan.
- The source gives no conditions for this time. Pot life is 30 minutes at 20°C and 20 at 30°C.
How to check readiness
Test the least-ventilated area before walking, covering or replacing furniture. Touch only a hidden edge first; a dry surface can conceal a soft layer underneath. Try a protected edge first and avoid turning, dragging or concentrated loads. Reserve full cure for demanding use, chemicals, washing, immersion or load—not merely gentle handling.
Avoid this mistake
Foot traffic, furniture and rugs can have different return times.
