Rayson FloorGuard R50

Rayson FloorGuard R50 is a two-component, solvent-free high-solids epoxy floor coating that cures to a smooth gloss — or a slip-resistant finish when broadcast with aggregate — for concrete and screed under normal to medium-heavy wear.

Best for

Best for roller-applied epoxy floors and broadcast seal coats in storage and assembly halls, workshops, garages, loading ramps and car park decks, including wet process areas in food and beverage plants.

Overview

FloorGuard R50 is the general-purpose roller-applied epoxy in the Rayson range: a solvent-free, high-solids two-component coating that lays down a hard-wearing, low-maintenance film. Applied plain it finishes smooth and glossy; broadcast with graded aggregate between coats it builds a slip-resistant texture for ramps and wet zones.

It carries no solvent, so it can be applied where ventilation is limited, and it grips mechanically prepared concrete strongly — pull-off testing fails in the concrete rather than at the coating. Cured, it develops a compressive strength of 55 N/mm², carrying the traffic of warehouses and assembly areas, vehicle workshops, garages and ramps.

As a sealing coat over a broadcast system it serves multi-storey and underground car parks, maintenance hangars and wet process areas in the beverage and food industry. It is applied over a Rayson epoxy primer and is not intended for exterior UV-exposed surfaces, where epoxy chalks and yellows.

Recommended uses

  • Roller-applied epoxy floors on concrete and screed under normal to medium-heavy wear
  • Warehouses and assembly areas, vehicle workshops, garages and ramps
  • Sealing coat for broadcast (aggregate) systems
  • Multi-storey and underground car park decks
  • Wet process areas in the food and beverage industry
  • Slip-resistant floors, using an aggregate broadcast between coats

Suitable substrates

  • New and existing concrete (minimum 28 days old, moisture content below 5%)
  • Cementitious screeds
  • Over a Rayson epoxy primer such as PrimeBond E20

Key benefits

  • Solvent-free high-solids epoxy — usable in unventilated areas
  • Smooth gloss finish, or slip-resistant when broadcast with aggregate
  • Hard-wearing with 55 N/mm² compressive strength
  • Excellent adhesion to mechanically prepared concrete

System position: Body coat

A body coat builds the main thickness and mechanical performance of the floor, applied over a primer and usually sealed with a finish.

Application method

  • Roller
  • Brush
  • Airless spray

Technical information

The figures below are a guide for planning. Site conditions and workmanship affect results — confirm the details for your project with our technical team.

Coverage 0.3–0.5 kg/m² per coat, applied in 2 coats; varies with substrate condition
Mixing Two pre-weighed parts, mix ratio 4:1 (A:B) by weight; mix mechanically for at least 2–3 minutes; pot life up to 30 minutes at 30 °C
Drying & curing Final cure 7 days
Pack sizes 20 kg set — Part A 16 kg + Part B 4 kg

Limitations

  • Minimum substrate temperature 5 °C; mix and cure between +10 °C and +35 °C
  • Substrate moisture content must not exceed 5%
  • Prepared substrate must reach at least 1.5 N/mm² pull-off strength
  • Mixed material must be used within its pot life; cures faster in hot weather and in large batches
  • Requires a Rayson epoxy primer — not a self-priming system
  • Not for exterior UV-exposed surfaces — epoxy yellows and chalks outdoors

Not suitable for

  • Exterior UV-exposed surfaces — epoxy coatings yellow and chalk outdoors
  • Use without a Rayson epoxy primer
  • Substrates with standing water or moisture content above 5%
  • Hot aggressive washdown or thermal-shock areas — specify a PurScreed PU-cement screed

Recommended systems

Roller coat epoxy floor system

  1. Mechanically prepare and vacuum the substrate
  2. Prime with Rayson PrimeBond E20 (1–2 coats)
  3. Apply 2 coats of Rayson FloorGuard R50

Slip-resistant broadcast system

  1. Prime with Rayson PrimeBond E20
  2. Apply Rayson FloorGuard R50 and broadcast graded aggregate to refusal
  3. Seal with a further coat of Rayson FloorGuard R50

Frequently asked questions

What finish does FloorGuard R50 give?

Applied plain it cures to a smooth gloss; broadcast with graded aggregate between coats it builds a slip-resistant texture for ramps and wet areas. Both are the same coating, finished differently.

How is FloorGuard R50 applied and at what coverage?

It is roller-, brush- or spray-applied over a Rayson epoxy primer, normally in 2 coats at 0.3–0.5 kg/m² per coat. Actual coverage varies with the substrate condition and porosity.

Does FloorGuard R50 need a primer?

Yes. It is applied over a Rayson epoxy primer such as PrimeBond E20 — one to two primer coats depending on substrate absorbency — which seals the surface and provides the adhesion the system relies on.

Can it be used in car parks and food production areas?

Yes — as a sealing coat over a broadcast system it suits multi-storey and underground car park decks, and wet process areas in the food and beverage industry. For hot, aggressive washdown, consider a PurScreed PU-cement screed instead.

Is it suitable for outdoor use?

No. Like all epoxies it yellows and chalks under UV, so it is an interior product. For UV-exposed decks, finish with a Rayson UraForce polyurethane topcoat.
