About this product

A fast floor coating with a long pot life, 8 hours, a recoat after 2 hours and full cure in a day at 25°C.

Using this specific product

Dulux Protective Coatings Luxafloor Express FCF is listed here as the Fast-cure epoxy floor coating version for fast-return floors. For mixing and curing epoxy, 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 Fast-cure epoxy floor coating; related versions can use different timing.
  • For fast-return floors, pay particular attention to mix ratio, batch size, temperature and pour thickness.
  • At 77°F (25°C) and 50% relative humidity.

How to check readiness

Check the coolest or thickest part for firmness before sanding, demolding or loading. The fact sheet gives a pot life of 8 hours. Before recoating, confirm the first coat matches the manufacturer’s stated condition; if the maximum window passed, check whether sanding is required. Reserve full cure for demanding use, chemicals, washing, immersion or load—not merely gentle handling.

Avoid this mistake

A larger batch can heat faster while a thin film may cure more slowly.
