An epoxy installation depends on more than the quality of any one product.
The primer, body coat, reinforcement, and topcoat must work together in the correct order. One incompatible substitution or skipped step can affect the entire system.
Our new technical resource explains the basic principles that protect system integrity from the prepared substrate through the finished surface.
