ProFast Flooring — Key Facts
What is it based on?
2-component autocatalytic polyurea combination — not epoxy, not polyurethane.
Is it colour-fast and UV proof?
Yes — the PDS describes it as colour-fast (aliphatic) and UV proof, with excellent colour and gloss retention.
Can it be used outdoors?
The PDS lists outdoor applications. Exposure conditions and system build-up must be confirmed for each project.
Is primer always required?
The PDS states no primer is required most of the time. Confirm from the current PDS and pre-treatment guidance.
Walkable time vs fully in service?
Walkable after approximately 1 hour at 20°C — this is a walkable milestone only. Mechanical resistance after 2–3 hours. Chemical resistance after 3 × 24 hours. These are separate milestones.
Is it available as an anti-slip coating?
Yes — the PDS states ProFast Flooring is available as an anti-slip coating. System sheets available on request.
What is ProFast Flooring?
ProFast Flooring is a 2-component autocatalytic floor coating based on polyurea combinations (Article 16200, PDS rev. 27-10-2025). The PDS describes it as colour-fast, UV proof, and quick-curing, with excellent preservation of colour and gloss. It has 100% volume solids and zero shrinkage. It can be applied with a trowel, squeegee, roller or brush.
The PDS lists suitability for walkways, balconies, terraces, stairwells, warehouses, distribution centres and production facilities. Decorative systems and an anti-slip variant are available — consult system sheets for build-up and performance requirements.
Substrate condition, moisture content, preparation method and system build-up must be confirmed from the current PDS and the Prokol Surface Pre-treatment information sheet before specification or application.

Production floor surfaces subject to wear, chemical or thermal loads within the documented limits. Confirm specific load requirements from the current PDS.
Decorative Systems
Decorative finishes based on ProFast technology. System sheets available on request — confirm build-up, performance and substrate requirements before specifying.
Substrates, Requirements & Exclusions
The following are PDS-documented substrate types and requirements. A surface being listed in the PDS does not eliminate the need to confirm condition, moisture content and preparation method before application.
PDS-Listed Substrates
Subject to substrate condition, moisture content and preparation confirmation from the current PDS.
- Mineral / Cement-Bound Surfaces
Residual moisture content must not exceed 10% (PDS). Confirm preparation method from the current PDS and Surface Pre-treatment guidance.
- Roughened Polyurethane
Existing polyurethane substrate must be roughened before application. Confirm preparation method from the current PDS and Surface Pre-treatment guidance.
- Roughened Polyurea
Existing polyurea substrate must be roughened. Confirm preparation from the current PDS and pre-treatment guidance.
- Roughened Epoxy
Existing epoxy substrate must be roughened. Confirm from current PDS and pre-treatment guidance before application.
Requires Separate Confirmation or Assessment
The following require separate confirmation, additional assessment or a different product specification.
- Substrates Exceeding 10% Moisture Content
The current PDS states residual moisture content of mineral, concrete, or calcium sulphate substrates must not exceed 10%.
- Evidence of Rising Moisture or Hydrostatic Pressure
Evidence of rising moisture, hydrostatic pressure or water ingress requires separate investigation before ProFast Flooring is specified. This is project-assessment guidance, not a verbatim PDS requirement.
- Contaminated Surfaces Without Pre-treatment
Contaminated surfaces require correct pre-treatment. Confirm method from the current Surface Pre-treatment guidance before application.
- Structural Defects or Active Cracking
Structural defects, active joint movement or substrate failure require separate investigation and remediation before surface coating.
- Continuous Immersion or Waterproofing Applications
ProFast Flooring is a floor coating — not a waterproofing membrane for continuous immersion or below-ground waterproofing applications.
- Chemical Service Before 3 × 24 Hours
Chemical resistance is achieved after 3 × 24 hours. The surface must not be returned to chemical service on the basis of the walkable milestone alone.
- Mechanical Service and Loading
The PDS states mechanical resistance after approximately 2–3 hours under the stated conditions. The proposed load type, intensity and return-to-service programme must still be confirmed for the project.
Substrate Preparation — Confirm Current PDS and Pre-treatment Guidance
The PDS references a separate Prokol Surface Pre-treatment information sheet for detailed substrate preparation requirements. This sheet must be consulted before application. Contact the Forti Nova technical team to request the current pre-treatment guidance for your substrate type.

Product Properties
Application Data
Times and values are approximate and affected by surface and environmental conditions including product temperature, relative humidity and layer thickness. Values referenced at 0.25 kg/m² per layer. Curing times increase above 0.25 kg/m².
Service Milestones — Read Carefully
Three distinct milestones at 20°C / 65% RH at 0.25 kg/m² per layer. Do not conflate walkable time with full service readiness.
Walkable
After approx. 1 hour
Walkable milestone only — this does not establish readiness for mechanical or chemical service.
Mechanical Resistance
After 2–3 hours
The PDS states mechanical resistance after approximately 2–3 hours. The proposed load type, intensity and return-to-service programme must still be confirmed for the project.
Chemical Resistance
After 3 × 24 hours
Do not return to chemical service before this milestone.
Walkable Times by Temperature (PDS, at 0.25 kg/m² per layer)
| Temperature | Walkable After | Recoat Window |
|---|---|---|
| -10°C | 2.5 hours | 2.5 hours – 48 hours |
| 0°C | 2 hours | 2 hours – 48 hours |
| 10°C | 1.5 hours | 1.5 hours – 48 hours |
| 20°C | 1 hour | 1 hour – 24 hours |
| 25°C | 45 minutes | 45 min – 24 hours |
All times at 0.25 kg/m² per layer — walkable milestone only. Mechanical resistance (after 2–3 hours) and chemical resistance (after 3 × 24 hours) are separate later milestones. Times are approximate and increase above 0.25 kg/m².
Mixing Instructions
Check Label for Mixing Ratio
The current PDS (rev. 27-10-2025) directs users to see the label on the packaging for the mixing ratio. Always take the mixing ratio from the current product label before mixing.
Mechanical Mixing Required
2-component products must always be mechanically mixed using a continuously adjustable mixing machine at low speed (300–400 RPM) or other suitable mixing equipment. The mixer diameter must be at least 1/3 of the container diameter. Avoid mixing too fast or too long to minimise air entrapment.
Mix Component A First
Mix component A until it is a homogeneous mixture before adding component B.
Add Component B
Add component B (completely drained or scraped) to component A. Mix for at least 2–3 minutes until homogeneous. Transfer to a clean mixing bucket and mix again to exclude unmixed material from the bottom and sides.
Additives Last
If using additives such as quartz sand, only add once the mixture is homogeneous. Mix thoroughly again after adding.
Apply in a Thin, Closed Layer
After mixing, apply a thin, closed layer using a brush or fleece roller. Then roll again with a 50 or 70 cm floor roller.
