AquaTeq is used for swimming pools, reservoirs, fish ponds and water-retaining structures where a durable water-contact coating system is required.

It depends on the condition and type of the existing coating. Loose, flaking, chalking or incompatible coatings must be removed. The surface must be properly prepared before AquaTeq is applied.

Always follow the current AquaTeq Technical Data Sheet. Filling time depends on temperature, ventilation, film thickness and curing conditions.

AquaTeq may be suitable for different pool substrates, but preparation requirements differ. Fibreglass, marbelite, plaster and concrete pools should be assessed before coating.

FloorTeq is an epoxy floor coating system for workshops, warehouses, garages, factories, production areas and other high-traffic floor environments.

New concrete should normally cure for at least 28 days before coating. The concrete must be dry, clean and properly prepared before application.

Traffic times depend on temperature, film thickness and curing conditions. Always follow the current FloorTeq Technical Data Sheet before opening the floor to service.

Yes. A suitable non-slip aggregate can be incorporated into the coating system where slip resistance is required.

SteelTeq is used for steel corrosion protection on structures, tanks, pipework, industrial equipment and other prepared metal surfaces.

SteelTeq is designed as a direct-to-metal system on correctly prepared surfaces. Heavily rusted or contaminated steel must be properly prepared before coating.

No coating system should be applied over loose or active rust. Rust, scale, oils and contaminants must be removed to achieve a sound surface before application.

Some projects may be suitable for competent DIY users, especially where the surface is simple and preparation is manageable. Larger or high-risk projects should be handled by experienced applicators.

Typical tools may include rollers, brushes, mixing equipment, PPE, cleaning tools and surface preparation equipment. The correct tools depend on the product and substrate.

Use the Swiss Kutler calculators for an estimate, then confirm the final requirement based on surface condition, porosity, wastage and application method.

Most coating failures are linked to poor surface preparation. The surface must be clean, dry, sound and free from dust, oils, grease, loose material and incompatible coatings.

No. Damp concrete can cause adhesion failure, blistering or poor curing. Concrete must be dry and suitable for coating before application.

Concrete preparation depends on the surface condition. Grinding, blasting or acid etching may be required to achieve a suitable profile and remove contaminants.
