Fosroc Nitoflor FC150T
Textured, slip-resistant solvent-free epoxy floor coating from the Fosroc Nitoflor FC150 family — engineered for wet, greasy and chemically aggressive industrial floors.
What is it?
A textured, anti-slip variant within Fosroc’s Nitoflor FC150 family of high-performance, solvent-free, two-pack epoxy resin floor coatings. The FC150T carries the same chemically resistant epoxy film as standard FC150 but is finished with an aggregate-modified texture that raises surface friction for safer footing in wet and greasy conditions.
Where is it used?
Wet-process and spillage-prone industrial floors — food and beverage plants, dairies, breweries, bottling lines, commercial kitchens, plating and processing shops, ramps, loading docks, walkways and wash-down bays — where a sealed, chemical-resistant yet non-slip surface is required.
Why use it?
It combines the proven chemical attack and abrasion resistance of the FC150 epoxy system with a deliberately textured profile, so plants get hygiene, easy cleaning and slip safety in one solvent-free, low-odour application rather than coating and a separate anti-slip treatment.
How is it applied?
Applied by roller or squeegee in two coats over sound, primed concrete, with anti-slip aggregate broadcast or blended to create the textured finish. Porous substrates are primed with Fosroc Nitoprime 25; light traffic typically resumes after about 24 hours and full traffic after about 48 hours at normal temperatures.
About Fosroc Nitoflor FC150T
Fosroc Nitoflor FC150T is the textured, slip-resistant member of Fosroc’s well-established Nitoflor FC150 range — a family of high-performance, solvent-free, two-component epoxy resin floor coatings used across industry to seal and protect concrete. Where the standard FC150 delivers a smooth, glossy film, the “T” designation denotes a textured surface produced by incorporating or broadcasting a fine anti-slip aggregate into the wet coating. The result is a hard-wearing, hygienic and easily cleaned floor finish that does not become treacherous when wet, oily or contaminated with process spillage. It is supplied as a pre-weighed, factory-proportioned pack (base, hardener and pigment/colour component) so the contractor mixes a controlled ratio on site with no guesswork. Because the system is solvent-free, application is low-odour and far better suited to occupied or semi-occupied facilities, food zones and confined plant rooms than older solvent-borne coatings. Space Arc Engineering supplies and applies Nitoflor FC150T as an authorised Fosroc distributor and applicator across Delhi NCR and Pan-India, and can confirm the current project-specific datasheet, colour and texture grade for your duty conditions, since FC150T sits on the same FC150 technical platform rather than carrying a separate published TDS.
The technical insight
The defining engineering choice with FC150T is friction versus cleanability. A perfectly smooth epoxy is the easiest surface to wash down, but in a wet dairy aisle or a greasy kitchen it becomes a slip hazard; an aggressively coarse anti-slip floor is safe underfoot but traps soil and resists cleaning. FC150T is positioned between these extremes — the cured epoxy retains FC150’s chemical and abrasion resistance (a film reported around compressive strength of 70 N/mm², flexural strength of 40 N/mm² and Shore D hardness in the high-70s to mid-80s, with water absorption below 0.1%), while the broadcast aggregate lifts the surface profile only enough to restore grip. The practical lever the specifier controls is the aggregate grade and broadcast rate: a finer, lighter texture for areas needing frequent wash-down and a coarser, heavier texture for ramps and constantly wet zones. Because the film is thin (a coating, not a screed — typically a few hundred microns built in two coats rather than millimetres), the substrate must be structurally sound and properly prepared by grinding or shot-blasting; the coating follows the concrete’s profile and will telegraph laitance, contamination or unevenness left behind. On porous or freshly cured concrete, priming with Nitoprime 25 is essential to prevent pinholing and outgassing that would otherwise disrupt both the film and its texture.
Where it is used
- Wet-process areas in dairies, breweries, soft-drink and bottling plants where floors are constantly washed down
- Food processing halls, cold-store anterooms and commercial/institutional kitchens needing hygienic non-slip floors
- Ramps, gradients, loading docks and vehicle/pedestrian transition zones prone to wet-weather slipping
- Plating shops, processing plants, dye works and other areas exposed to chemical spillage
- Pharmaceutical, cosmetics and packaging facilities requiring sealed, cleanable, slip-safe surfaces
- Wash bays, equipment cleaning stations and effluent-handling walkways in manufacturing plants
- Workshops and production assembly areas where oil, coolant or water contamination is routine
Key advantages
- Slip-resistant textured finish that maintains grip in wet, oily and spillage-prone conditions
- Solvent-free and low-odour — suitable for occupied food, beverage and pharma environments
- High resistance to a wide range of industrial chemicals and to spillage attack
- Hard-wearing, abrasion-resistant epoxy film with strong mechanical properties (compressive ~70 N/mm²)
- Hygienic, impervious surface that resists staining and is straightforward to clean and disinfect
- Supplied in pre-weighed packs for accurate on-site mixing and consistent cure
- Part of the proven Fosroc Nitoflor FC150 family with established field track record and local technical support
Limitations & considerations
- A coating, not a structural topping — it cannot rebuild or level damaged concrete; deep repair/levelling needs a screed or repair mortar first
- Performance depends heavily on substrate preparation; laitance, contamination or moisture will cause adhesion failure or pinholing
- Textured surfaces are harder to clean than smooth epoxy — the aggregate grade must be matched to the cleaning regime
- Epoxy chemistry can chalk, gloss-change or yellow under prolonged UV/sunlight, so it is intended for interior use
- Requires priming (e.g. Nitoprime 25) on porous or green concrete and controlled temperature/humidity during cure
- Not designed for thermal-shock or steam-cleaning duty at the level of a PU screed such as Ucrete — heavy thermal-cycling wet areas may need a polyurethane system instead
- FC150T shares the FC150 platform rather than a standalone datasheet; project-specific values, colours and texture grade should be confirmed against the current TDS before specifying
Selection & best practice
Specify FC150T only where slip resistance is a genuine requirement — for dry, smooth showroom or assembly floors the standard smooth FC150 is easier to clean. Prepare concrete by mechanical grinding or shot-blasting to remove laitance and open the surface, ensure the slab is sound and dry, and prime porous or new concrete with Fosroc Nitoprime 25. Apply in two coats; for the textured finish, broadcast the anti-slip aggregate into the first/intermediate coat and seal it with the topcoat, selecting a finer aggregate where wash-down cleaning is frequent and a coarser grade for ramps and continuously wet zones. As a coating the system builds a few hundred microns in two coats (commonly in the order of ~250 microns per coat depending on the published pack/coverage data, which varies by region), so coverage and pack size should always be read from the current project datasheet — distributor data has shown figures such as roughly 18 m² per pack per coat. Respect pot life, overcoat windows and the typical cure profile (light traffic around 24 hours, full traffic around 48 hours at normal temperatures), and protect the fresh film from water and traffic during cure. Always confirm the exact colour, texture grade, coverage and current technical datasheet with Space Arc Engineering for your specific duty before ordering.

How we position Fosroc Nitoflor FC150T
Nitoflor FC150T occupies the textured, anti-slip slot in Fosroc’s flooring portfolio: when a project needs the chemical and abrasion resistance of the Nitoflor FC150 epoxy coating but on a wet, greasy or sloped floor, FC150T is the natural choice over the smooth standard FC150 (better for dry showrooms and assembly areas) or the impregnating sealers and dry-shake hardeners like Nitoflor Hardtop and Nitoflor Lithurin used purely for dustproofing and abrasion. For heavier mechanical, impact or build-up requirements, Fosroc’s self-smoothing Nitoflor toppings and trowel-applied epoxy/PU screeds step up in thickness and duty. Where the environment involves thermal shock, steam cleaning or aggressive thermal cycling — typical of demanding food and beverage processing — a polyurethane (PU) screed is genuinely the more robust technology, and credible alternatives include BASF/Master Builders Solutions Ucrete and MasterTop, and Sika’s Sikafloor and Sikafloor PurCem ranges. Being candid about these boundaries matters: FC150T is an excellent, cost-effective interior epoxy coating for slip-safe chemical-resistant floors, not a universal answer to every flooring problem. As an authorised Fosroc distributor and applicator across Delhi NCR and Pan-India, Space Arc Engineering’s role is to confirm the current FC150T datasheet and texture grade, prepare and apply it correctly, and steer you to the right Fosroc — or, where honesty demands it, competing — system for your actual service conditions.
