DK Flakes™ system creates a vibrant, multihued, seamless, resilient surface from plain gray concrete. Although the system is simple both in composition and installation, it yields an exceptionally durable and long lasting floor. This system is composed of a binder, ColorTec pigmented coatings (500, 600WB, 180, 400, 400WB), DK Flakes, and a high performance DK clear coat (500, 400, 400WB, 120, 180).
Dura-Kote Flakes system is ideally suited for garage floors, commercial kitchens, locker rooms, sports venues, automotive showrooms, veterinarian clinics, laundromats, or anywhere that an exceedingly resilient floor is required. DK Flakes is available in 12 pre-blended color designs and is a 1/4” random chip.
COVERAGE | Full coverage = approximately 125 – 175 ft² (11.6 – 16.3 m²) per box
Broadcasting
The applicator must work in spiked shoes throughout the broadcasting. Toss by hand the DK Flakes upward so that they float down to the wet Binder Coat. Broadcast sufficient flakes to rejection; completely cover the surface. If the floor has low spots where the Binder Coat is deeper, flakes may “sink.” Broadcast sufficient flakes to completely saturate the low spot. Allow the floor to dry / cure sufficiently, usually 8 – 10 hours, depending on temperature.
Clean-up flakes
Scrape the floor vigorously with a metal floor scraper to remove excess DK-Flakes. Utilize a stiff push broom to help this process. Depending upon size of area, a leaf blower may be appropriate. For large interior areas, vacuuming is appropriate. For a smoother finish, the floor may be screened with a 100 grit sanding screen on
a rotational floor machine. The left over flakes may be gathered and bagged for use on another project.
