Take your pet to work week is June 16-20. Take your dog to work day is June 20th

Every day is “take your pet to work day” in the offices of Epoxy.com. We believe the bond between pet and owner is a special one. Pet owners who have their pet with them during the day at work (in a pet safe environment) don’t have to worry about how their pet is doing at home alone. Besides the owners of the company want to take their pets to work with them so it is only fair.

Clear Epoxy Over Reclaimed Wood

March 24, 2014

Epoxy Product #15 on Reclaimed Wooden Floor


The floor shown in the photos was installed in a dining
room. Approximate room size was 12’ x 14’.  The lumber was 8″ – 12″ in
width and 3/4″ thick. Tongue and groove edges were routed on the boards. 6
gallons of epoxy were layered on in 7-8 applications. Epoxy was applied with
3/8″ and 1/4″ nap rollers. The final finish was not completely smooth like a
table top due to cupping in some of the boards.

The boards were bonded together because he cut heating
vents in and the cut-outs came out as one solid piece and stayed together
rather than separating back into the individual boards.

The baseboard was also made out of old lumber. The top
edge was rounded and then stained so the machined edge would appear
weathered. 3-4 coats of epoxy
were applied so it is much rougher.

The owner was definitely pleased with the results.

Why Use Epoxy.com Products in “Green” Buildings?

August 20, 2012

110614_2044_EpoxyChipFl10.pngEpoxy.com’s 100% solid products (which are most of our product line) are included in many “Green” buildings. The logic for that is this:

1. Epoxy.com 100% solid products have  no VOCs. So you are reducing the carbon emissions.

2. Typical Epoxy.com 100% solid systems have done their job for decades, and there is no reason to believe they will not last for decades more. I personally have jobs that I installed with them that go back as much as a third of a century, that are not even starting to show signs that they will need replacement. That is the ultimate in reuse.

3. There is no need to recycle a product that can be reused for decades, but you can use recycled materials like glass aggregate in the epoxy matrix.

Epoxy.com encourages our customers to order material as they need it and to use all their materials before their expiration. That is why we do not require large stocking orders from new dealers, like most other companies. We want our customers to use up material they buy from us and not have any for it run out of shelf life. However, if Epoxy.com products do run out of shelf life, they are typically mixed and cured before disposal as is consitered in under most if not all local regulations as inert as common trash.

Tip for today.Epoxy.com Novolac Epoxy

June 28, 2012

Tip for today:  Epoxy.com #633 has excellent chemical resistant properties. http://www.epoxy.com/633.aspx We recently had an inquiry with the installed product coming in contact with hundreds of gallons of sulfuric acid in a major spill situation.  We were contacted to see if Epoxy.com #633 had been compromised. The answer is no.  As long as the material has been properly installed without pinholes, all that is required is decontamination of the exterior surface of Epoxy.com #633 coating.  No removal or reinstallation of Epoxy.com # 633 will be required. Epoxy.com #633 is specially formulated to prevent a spill from become a catastrophe.

That was a great question.  Please keep your questions coming.
