Flexible Epoxy Industrial Floor Coating
Description
PERMAFLEX 1105 is a 100% solids novolac epoxy floor coating with exceptional elongation properties. The PermaFlex 1105 system can be used as a flexible base coat for the PermaTec high build floors, joint material or as an independent multi-coat flooring/deck coating (50-125 mils).
Function
PERMAFLEX 1105 is designed as an industrial floor coating/ expansion joint compound where flexibility, chemical resistance and epoxy toughness are important. PermaFlex 1105 can be installed over most sound substrates including old or new concrete, steel and wood. When fiberglass reinforced, PermaFlex 1105 is ideal for the treatment of operating cracks.
Typical Applications
- Cracked substrates
- Containment basins
- Trenches
- Expansion joint sealing
- Tank bases and tank chimes
- Any area in general where harsh chemicals are used and flexibility is required
Features
PERMAFLEX 1105 provides good impact and tear resistance, while maintaining high tensile strength and elongation properties. PermaFlex 1105 also provides the superior adhesion of an epoxy with urethane elasticity.
Other Features Include:
- Rapid cure resulting in minimal downtime
- 100%-150% elongation
- Virtually Odor free
- 100% Solid by volume
- 0 VOC’s as supplied by manufacturer

Packaging and Coverage
PERMAFLEX 1105 is available in 1 and 3 gallon units. The coverage rate is appx. 64 sq ft at 25 mils with the theoretical coverage being 1604 sq ft at 1 mil. Application thickness may vary depending on the intended use and service conditions.
Cure Time
The cure time of PERMAFLEX 1105 as with other resinous systems, is very dependent upon the temperature of the substrate. The ambient temperature may not be the same as the substrate temperature. For example, during winter concrete may be colder than the surrounding ambient temperature. As temperatures during the day may increase, large masses of concrete will be much slower to react. During summer days direct sunlight will increase the concrete temperature over that of ambient air. The substrate temperature should be monitored and remain at or above 65° F.

*Where heavy chemical abuses are anticipated, longer cure times may be required. Contact ChemProof Polymers or the local distributor for specific recommendations. These times are after the final coat has been applied.
Mixing And Application
Prior to application, the PERMAFLEX 1105 (Resin, Hardener and Silica) and the substrate should be between 65° F and 90° F. Premix the Part A (Resin) for appx. 30 seconds with a Jiffler type mixer prior to adding Part B (Hardener). After adding Part B mix for an additional 1 minute before pouring onto the substrate.
Mixing
Prior to application of PERMAFLEX 1105, the resin, hardener and substrate should be between 70 degrees F and 95 degrees F
Premix the Resin (Part A) for 30 seconds using a Jiffler mixer blade attached to a 500-750 RPM drill. Add the Hardener (Part B) only when the batch is ready to be applied. Mix for approximately 90-120 seconds. After mixing, pour immediately onto the floor.
Application
Basic Broadcast
In order to achieve a 50 mil system, apply a 22 mil (73 sq ft/gal) basecoat and for a 125 mil system, apply a 48 mil (34 sf/gal) basecoat. Within 20 minutes of the basecoat being applied broadcast to excess using a 20/40 mesh silica. Once the basecoat is cured, apply a 10-16 mil topcoat utilizing squeegees and short nap paint rollers.
Basic Broadcast Reinforced
A 1.5 oz chopped or a fiberglass scrim cloth can be added to the basecoat of the 125 mil system prior to the silica broadcast.
Expansion Joint Treatment
After mixing thoroughly immediately insert into a caulking tube. Inject in properly prepared joint.
Note: The above systems have their vertical rolling counterparts.
Chemical Resistance
Please contact your distributor or ChemProof Polymers.
Clean-up
All mixing and application equipment should be cleaned immediately after use. If this is done, soap and water or biodegradable cleaners can be used. If the material has begun to set, more aggressive solvents will be necessary. Before using solvents, refer to their respective SDS for handling considerations.
Storage and Shelf Life
PERMAFLEX 1105 should be stored at 50-90° F out of direct sunlight. All containers should remain unopened until ready for use. If stored as set out above, PERMAFLEX 1105 has a minimum shelf life of one year.
Where PERMAFLEX 1105 Should Not Be Installed
PERMAFLEX 1105 should not be applied over substrates:
- Subject to extreme hydrostatic pressure
- Which are unsound
- Which are contaminated and cannot be cleaned.
- At temperatures below 65° F (Consult ChemProof Polymers).
Safety
Read Safety Data Sheets (“SDS”) before using. PERMAFLEX 1105 contains blended Epoxies as the resin and blended Amines as the hardener. Protective clothing and gloves are recommended to prevent sensitization to these materials. In case of ingestion or eye contact, it is advisable to contact a physician immediately. SDS are available for this product upon request.
