What is Epoxy?

What happens here

Tony then introduces cycloaliphatic epoxy, a specific type of epoxy resin. He explains that this material offers more UV resistance, color stability, and water resistance when dry compared to traditional epoxies. The cycloaliphatic epoxy used in their broadcast coat provides the highest color stability available in an epoxy resin. If used as a clear coat, it would deliver long durability and significantly less noticeable discoloration compared to past traditional epoxies, making it a good option when UV resistance is desired but not necessarily full UV stability provided by polyaspartic.

Goal: Learn about cycloaliphatic epoxy as a specific type of epoxy offering enhanced color stability and UV resistance.

What they say

Hide

for instance the product we're using for our broadcast coat on this particular project is actually a cycle alifhatic epoxy resin meaning it will have the highest color stability available in an epoxy resin. Uh therefore if we use that as a clear we would get long durability out of it and a lot less noticeable discoloration than we would with say our traditional epoxies of the past. So nowadays, traditionally, your top coat is going to be a polyspartic because of the UV UV stability. So on a garage like this, um, if you're opening up your garage doors or if you got windows, that UV light's going to discolor the floor. It's going to yellow it over time. And so that's why you would use a polyphartic. Absolutely correct. The polyespartic is going to give you that long-term aesthetic appeal. Okay, that makes a whole lot of sense. So now with now that we've broken these three terms down, the floor that I do, I use uh we use a primer and then we use an epoxy and then we flake it and then we put a poly
