Decoflake

The DECOFLAKE CLASSIC SYSTEM is an epoxy-based decorative flake coating system with high chemical resistance. FOX DECOFLAKE vinyl flakes, broadcast onto the coloured coating while it is still wet, are locked in by a clear top coat; system thickness 0.5-1.0 mm.

Decoflake Classic · Full Coverage; FOX DECOFLAKE is broadcast at a consumption of ~0.30 kg/m² (full coverage — the flakes cover the surface completely). The system type determines the layer products, while the coverage type determines the broadcast consumption and the surface appearance; the flake selection only shows the colours photographed for the selected coverage.

About Decoflake Classic · Full Coverage

Decoflake Classic · Full Coverage is an epoxy-based decorative flake floor coating system with high chemical resistance. FOX DECOFLAKE vinyl flake chips, available in a range of colour options, are broadcast at full coverage density onto the FOX EPOTHANE® COLORTOP coloured coating layer.
The prepared concrete surface is primed with FOX EPOTHANE® COLORTOP; FOX EPOTHANE® COLORTOP is then poured onto the surface, spread with a notched trowel and back-rolled with a roller. While the coating is still wet, FOX DECOFLAKE is broadcast at ~0.30 kg/m². After 24 hours, excess and loose flakes are scraped off in two directions, then sanded with 40-grit abrasive and vacuumed. FOX EPOTHANE® TOPCOAT CLEAR is applied as the top coat with a trowel and back-rolled; for a matt appearance FOX PURATHANE® TOPCOAT WB CLEAR MATT, and for extra gloss FOX DOMINO® AC SEALER FD792, can be applied as an optional top coat. The surface can be walked on 24 hours after application is completed; it reaches its final mechanical and chemical resistance in 7 days.

Consumption figures are given for ideal conditions at +20 °C; the primer and consumption figures may vary depending on the condition of the floor and the ambient conditions. A site visit by our expert team is recommended before deciding on a system solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Which floors can it be applied to?

    Applied to concrete floors at least 28 days old, of minimum class C20 and with a tensile strength above 1.5 N/mm²; moisture at a depth of 2 cm must be below 4 %. Laitance is removed by shot blasting, milling or diamond grinding; repairs are made with FOX MORTAR FC188 T / FOX FASTMORTAR FC245 / FC233.
  • What is the difference between full, standard and light coverage?

    The difference lies in the amount of flake broadcast: full coverage at ~300 g/m² covers the surface completely, standard coverage at 60-100 g/m² leaves the coloured coating visible between the flakes, and light coverage at 20-30 g/m² remains as an accent. This system is broadcast at full coverage; the coating colour influences the overall appearance.
  • What is the difference between the Classic, Fast and UV systems?

    Classic is epoxy-based and offers high chemical resistance; UV is polyurethane-based and does not yellow in sunlight; Fast is polyaspartic-based, is both UV resistant and can be walked on within 2-4 hours. Flake broadcasting and finishing are the same for all three.
  • Matt or gloss?

    The standard finish is gloss, with FOX EPOTHANE® TOPCOAT CLEAR. For a matt appearance FOX PURATHANE® TOPCOAT WB CLEAR MATT, and for extra gloss FOX DOMINO® AC SEALER FD792, is applied as an optional top coat.
  • Is it slip resistant?

    Yes. The texture of FOX DECOFLAKE gives the floor slip resistance; the texture is more pronounced at light and standard coverage.
  • When is the coating ready for use and how is it maintained?

    It can be walked on after 24 hours at 25 °C; final strength is reached in 7 days. It must be protected from direct water contact for the first 24 hours. Cleaning epoxy floor coatings with FOX CLEANER FR340 is recommended.
