Monarcoat 700 is a fast-cure epoxy resin coating widely used in industrial and commercial environments. Known for its durability and quick turnaround times, it is often applied as a line marking paint to create clear gangways, hatched areas, pedestrian crossings, and vehicle bays. With its high pigment levels, Monarcoat 700 produces bright, long-lasting markings in colours such as safety yellow and white – essential for visibility and compliance in busy workplaces.
Monarcoat 700 is a specialist epoxy resin floor line marking paint designed for environments where a fast-curing, dust-free, and chemical-resistant finish is required. It offers:
A seamless, attractive finish that is easy to clean.
Chemical and abrasion resistance, making it ideal for industrial areas exposed to heavy traffic or spills.
Hygienic properties, valued in food production and beverage facilities where compliance is critical.
High Opacity, due to the high pigment levels, Monarcoat 700 is used to produce a bright white and safety yellow without any opacity issues.
In industrial flooring, Monarcoat 700 is used for demarcation and line marking. It is commonly applied in factories, warehouses, and engineering workshops to highlight walkways, machine areas, hazardous zones, or vehicle bays. The system ensures safety and organisation while maintaining a professional appearance.
Outside of heavy industry, Monarcoat 700 is trusted in the automotive sector, including car showrooms, MOT test centres, and garages. Its use in line marking floor paint allows for precise demarcation of MOT bays and vehicle spaces, in line with mandatory safety standards set by VOSA (Vehicle and Operator Services Agency).
Thanks to its fast-cure properties, Monarcoat 700 can be applied, re-coated, and ready for use within a few hours. This makes it especially effective in environments where downtime must be minimised – such as staircases, walkways, entrances, and other high-traffic areas.
What is Monarcoat 700?
Monarcoat 700 is a two-pack, high-build epoxy resin coating designed for hard-wearing floor demarcation and coatings. It provides excellent adhesion, chemical resistance, and durability.
How thick is Monarcoat 700 applied?
It is typically applied in two coats, giving an overall dry film thickness of around 300–400 microns.
How long does Monarcoat 700 take to cure?
At 20 °C, Monarcoat 700 is ready for pedestrian use after about 12 hours, light wheeled traffic after 24 hours, and full traffic after 48 hours. Full cure is achieved in around 7 days.
Can Monarcoat 700 be made slip-resistant?
Yes. By broadcasting an aggregate into the first coat and then overcoating, a slip-resistant finish can be achieved (Dry > 50 to BS 7976-2).
What coverage can I expect with Monarcoat 700?
From a 2.5 kg unit, coverage is approximately 4 m² per coat (0.25 kg/m²), although this depends on the substrate profile and porosity.

As you can see from the images above. Monarcoat 700 is widely used as a demarcation and line marking epoxy paint. This is used primarily in industrial settings but can be used in an automotive setting. Usually, within automotive it is within car workshops and garages where it is used to mark out the MOT bays which are under strict guidelines by the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency. Similarly, it can be used to mark out bays in car parks or to section off walkways.
One of the standout features of Monarcoat 700 as a line marking paint is its high opacity. Thanks to the quality pigments used, popular colours such as white and safety yellow remain bold, bright, and easy to see long after application. Unlike lower-grade paints that can appear patchy or “see-through,” Monarcoat 700 provides solid coverage in just a few passes, ensuring that markings stay sharp, highly visible, and effective in guiding traffic or highlighting safety zones.
