What is Epoxy?
What happens here
After the epoxy basecoat with flakes has cured, typically between 12 to 16 hours depending on temperatures, the excess flakes are scraped off the surface. This creates a smoother, more uniform texture. Following this, a topcoat of polyaspartic is applied. This polyaspartic clear coat is crucial for providing the long-term aesthetic appeal of the floor, primarily due to its superior UV stability which prevents yellowing or discoloration that can occur with other coating types when exposed to sunlight, as often happens in garages with open doors or windows.
Goal: Apply a polyaspartic topcoat to seal the flakes and provide UV stability and long-term durability.
