- Application: Apply with notched squeegee followed by spiked roller
- Curing: Maintain ambient temperature above 55°F during application
Epoxy Topcoat FAQ Section
Q: How long does Epoxy Topcoat typically last?
A: When properly applied to prepared surfaces, our Epoxy Topcoat provides 7-10 years of service life in moderate traffic conditions and 5-7 years in heavy industrial environments. Key factors affecting longevity include surface preparation quality, installation thickness, and maintenance practices. We recommend recoating high-traffic areas every 3-5 years for optimal performance.
Epoxy Topcoat Color Options
| Color Code | Name | Gloss Level |
|---|---|---|
| ET-100 | High-Gloss White | 85 GU |
| ET-201 | Slate Gray | 70 GU |
| ET-305 | Safety Yellow | 75 GU |
| ET-412 | Clear (100% transparent) | 90 GU |
Q: Can Epoxy Topcoat be applied over existing coatings?
A: Yes, Epoxy Topcoat can be applied over compatible existing coatings after proper surface preparation. The substrate must be clean, sound, and properly profiled (minimum 2 mil profile recommended). We always recommend conducting adhesion testing (ASTM D4541 or pull-off test) prior to full application. Incompatible coatings or failing substrates must be removed before application.
Maintenance Recommendations
- Daily cleaning with pH-neutral cleaners (pH 7-9)
- Quarterly deep cleaning with specialized epoxy cleaners
- Immediate cleanup of chemical spills
- Annual inspection for wear patterns
- Recoat high-traffic areas as needed
Q: What safety precautions are required when applying Epoxy Topcoat?
A: While our Epoxy Topcoat is low-VOC, we recommend: 1) Proper ventilation (minimum 4 air changes per hour), 2) Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), 3) Eye protection (ANSI Z87.1), 4) Protective clothing, and 5) Non-slip footwear. Installers should avoid skin contact and have emergency eyewash stations available. MSDS contains complete safety information.
