Our materials are designed for strength, durability, and a unique design touch, adapting perfectly to the needs of project implementers.
Semi-glossy coloured enamel, solvent-free, based on liquid epoxy resins in water emulsion and hardened with amidic polymers, It is used for coloured protecting coatings which are very pleasant to look at for floors and walls in civilian and industrial contexts.
The product is CE-marked according to UNI EN 13813.
RESICOLOR 451 is a two-component epoxy enamel which is very pleasant to look at. It features
good mechanical strength to wear and tear, moderate chemical resistance to low concentration of
basic and acid solutions and good resistance to oils and fats.
Compared to standard painting, RESICOLOR 451 offers the following advantages:
• Excellent adhesion to concrete, bricks and stones;
• Waterproof against liquids but it lets steam through;
• It can be varnishes with epoxy, polyurethane and acrylic products;
• It makes cleaning the surfaces easier and enables use of washer-drier machines or high
pressure water jet cleaners;
This produces features low risk for the environment and for its users because it is in water
emulsion and it is solvent-free; it does not release harmful vapours and its tools can be
easily cleaned with water after use. It can be applied in those environments where use of
solvents is not recommended or it is dangerous, i.e. enclosed buildings or with insufficient
ventilation or in environments with risk of sparks;

Preparation of the support
Floors
The surfaces to be coated must be compact, crumbly-part grout and cement cradle-cap –free, clean and with no oils, fats or waxes. Cracks, cuts or small millings must be stuccoed with epoxy adhesives like RESICOL 100.
The product can be applied on dry or damp concrete floors following washing with washer-dryer. For better adhesion, the surface must be slightly roughened with diamond or silicon carbide wheels. Then remove any traces of dust or dirt using an aspirator. In case of closed and compact surfaces like dry-shake industrial floors, acid washing (5÷10% hydrochloric acid) is recommended following sand-paper with consequent washing and neutralization.
Walls
Very porous concrete walls or with cracks and omega cavities must be levelled in advance with RESICOL 100, epoxy adhesive or with RESICEM 712, cement bi-component smoothing agent. Plasterboard must be treated in advance with an insulating agent like RESICOL 170, a single component acrylic primer.
Preparation of the product
Pour component B into component A and blend at slow speed for 3’ – 5’ using drill with helix/spiral to reduce air inlet as much as possible; during this operation, carefully scrape also the bottom and the sides of the package.
In the event of partial use of the package, the two components must be carefully weighed in weight (not in volume) following the ratios on the label.
Application
Brush, roller or airless spray apply, in at least two layers, with average consumption per layer of 100÷200 g/m2. The first layer must be diluted with 5÷10% water to improve product penetration in the support.
The following applications can be made with no dilution.
On plasterboard application use the product as it is.
Notes
The product is not applicable on surfaces soaked in water, in the presence of puddles or wet surface film. Apply only after
complete curing of the concrete. Do not apply on fine mortar or lime-based plasters.
In any case, apply only at temperatures at least 3 °C higher than the dew point.
By pouring B component into A component, the hardening reaction starts: following mixture the time available is limited and it depends on the temperature.
| Temperature | Pot life | Tack free | Overpaintable |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10°C | 150 min | 10 hours | 20 hours |
| 20°C | 100 min | 7 hours | 15 hours |
| 30°C | 50 min | 4 hours | 10 hours |
Complete hardening takes place after seven days of curing with a temperature of the substrate not lower than 10°C.
Application at temperatures below +5 Cº and above +30 Cº is not recommended.
More than 48 hours after application, the surface must be sanded with an abrasive disc or mesh (120 grit) before repainting.

Civilian buildings:
• Painting of garages, basements, utility rooms (boiler rooms, lift pit, etc.);
• Painting of cornices, intrados and vault balconies and projecting elements
• Painting of concrete pillars and masonry already coated with fine cement plaster;
Industrial buildings:
