Epoxy Paints
We've been selling: marine epoxy (boat building - wood / fiberglass repair) industrial coatings - garage paint -
underwater epoxies - thick putties - tabletop resins and supplies since the early 1990's

Epoxy paints are very different from enamels, polys, and latex paints. Using them is more like painting with honey or molasses and they typically set slowly allowing time for drips and sags. Like all epoxies, they are not color stable and will yellow with time and UV. They are often topcoated with enamels etc. They generally cannot be applied with normal spray equipment. The epoxy paint does the work, the topcoating paint provides the look. If you are new to epoxy paints we suggest you order a small unit size to test and evaluate for your application. They are commonly used as barrier coats below the waterline, bilge coatings, as well as in tanks, pits and sumps.
This is the epoxy paint section (section 4) of our marine catalog. The link in the Link Section below explains the differences between epoxy paints and epoxy floor paints (mostly a self leveling - drip/sag thing). That said, floor epoxies can be used on non-floor surfaces. The water-based Water Bond (tm) epoxy is an exception. It goes on thin and dries/cures even thinner (probably thinner than a coat of hardware store enamel). Being so thin, it tends not to drip or sag. It also yellows much less than 'regular' epoxies. So be sure to visit our Floor Epoxy section as well, to expand your number of options. The Water Bond comes in a medium gray, and more importantly for boat owners, a medium blue. The blue very closely matches the traditional blue bottom paint color (also the very common sail cover / awning blue color). It would be a good product to give that 'bottom paint' look on a bottom of trailer based boats, etc. it is a close match to Behr paint American Anthem - 580B-7. As a barrier coat by itself it would probably need 4 coats or so..
Not all hulls are suitable candidates for an epoxy barrier coat. For example, fiberglass hulls that flex a lot
will probably have adhesion problems (disbonding) of the hard, brittle epoxy when the hull flexs. Please read the
WHAT CAN GO WRONG - HULL COATING DISCLAIMER at the bottom of our barrier coat page for more information
about coating issues on hulls as well as our legal
disclaimer. All decisions regarding barrier coats and
the results are the sole responsibility of the customer.
Note our CM 15™epoxy epoxy paint has much more flex than the Water Gard 300™ epoxy paint which is our most common
and popular barrier coat epoxy. Our TA 661™ is an additive that can also increase the flex of an epoxy coating.
At the bottom of this page is some more comparison info between these epoxies. This is to help you decide which
epoxy paint to use. We also make our suggestions there too, but keep in mind these epoxies are all very similar
(we're really comparing apples to apples here!). Also on this page are comments etc. from boat owners who have
applied our different barrier coat epoxy paints.
Coverage: All these epoxies will roll on at about 140 squ feet per gallon (about 8 mils), or brush or paint pad on at about 12-15 mils (100 - 120 squ feet per gallon). Generally, barrier coats are 10-12 mils total thickness. If my hull did not have much, or any, blister problem, I would be satisfied with a single 8 mil coat of these high performance epoxies. Note that the CM-15 is thinner (due to solvents) and I would expect more like perhaps 180- 200 squ feet of coverage per gallon and a dry thickness of 6 mils - however not enough feedback yet from users to confirm these 'estimated values' If the 6 mil figure is good, I would suggest 2 - 3 coats of CM-15.
How to estimate mil thickness (doesn't work with solvent based CM-15) - without allowing for any waste, 1 mil of any liquid will cover 1600 square feet. 16 mils will cover 100 square feet. 10 mils will cover 160 squ feet (values above allow for some waste - ie. soaking the roller, left over in pail, etc.).
Don't try to get the very last drops of epoxy out of your mixing container. The 'last drops' come from the corners and edges that don't get mixed very well. The result is sections of painted surface that will never get hard!

* If your hull has hair line cracks, or old, 'dried out' fiberglass, you might consider applying a coat of our thin, solvent based, penetrating epoxy as a primer over the old fiberglass first. This will help seal the time cracks and provide a fresh, solid surface for the barrier coat epoxies listed below. Our ESP 155 penetrating epoxy is found in Section 1 of our catalog (Marine Resins CLICK HERE to go to that section). Also consider Capt. Tolley's Creeping Crack Cure - CLICK .

PRODUCT PRO AND CON REVIEW |
| PRO | NON HAZ TO SHIP - CAN BE APPLIED UNDERWATER - REDUCED YELLOWING - ENHANCED PHYSICAL PROPERTIES - THICK/SOLVENT FREE COATING. |
| CON | A VERY HARD/BRITTLE COATING (NOT FOR USE ON SURFACES SUBJECT TO FLEXING) |
This product contains superior Cycloaliphatic curing agents - CLICK HERE for more information.
This product has its own web page
NON HAZMAT (CAN SHIP
BY AIR AND/OR OUTSIDE THE USA)
An all-surface, white, light blue, epoxy that goes on at 8-16 mils (with a brush
or paint pad, thinner if applied by roller). Suitable as a BILGE COATING OR (MORE COMMONLY) A HULL BARRIER COAT
EPOXY. (approx. 100 - 150 squ feet per gallon --- a 3 gallon kit will cover 300 - 450 square feet) Mix 2:1 by volume.
Colors: slow yellowing white, light blue. We were impressed with the lack of rapid yellowing of the white color,
while still non-hazmat to ship. NOTE: ALL THESE SOLVENT FREE EPOXY PAINTS ARE THICKER THAN 'REGULAR' PAINTS, ESPECIALLY
AT TEMPS UNDER 70 OR SO DEGREES. WE GET 3-4 COMMENTS EVERY SPRING ABOUT THIS, BUT EVERYONE GETS THE COATING APPLIED!
YOU CAN SAMPLE OUR SMALL TEST UNITS FIRST (SEE BELOW). STANDARD FIX IS A SMALL (WEE) BIT OF SOLVENT (MEK, ACETONE,
XYLENE ETC. EPOXY VISCOSITY (AND POT LIFE) IS VERY TEMPERATURE DEPENDENT - IDEAL IS PROBABLY 75 DEGREES F).
Advantages: longish pot life, selection of colors, cycloaliphatic curing agent, non hazmat to ship so can ship overnight; uses a cycloaliphatic curing agent. This is a hard, rigid coating - very tough but if you think you need some 'flex' see our CM 15 listed on this page.
If you do decide to go with two coats (common if the entire gel coat has been removed) using a different color
for each coat allows you to estimate how deep any future chips into the hull are (i.e. color coded layers!), as
well as spotting thick and thin spots in the second coat.
Our formulator says this product has been used by the US Navy to paint anchor chains.
Note: because these 100% solids (solvent free), high end epoxy paints are all rather thick (especially in cool
weather), we've had users report that they transfer the epoxy to the surface they're coating with a wide putty
knife or drywall mud float and initially spread it out that way. They return with the roller or brush for final
'smoothing.' They liked this method much better than struggling with a roller only with the thick, sticky epoxy.
While many customers love this product, some are shocked at how thick these commercial epoxy paints are. For folks that don't like the thick nature of epoxy paints - we suggest you try the 1.5 quart test kit before committing to a 3 gal kit. (keeps everyone happy!) Our CM 15 epoxy paint (see below is thinner - but still thick - maybe 2 coats??)
3 gallon kit - $312 plus shipping (colors light blue or white)
3 quart kit - $92 plus shipping (light blue, white)

Hi Paul,
I think we have some converts.. We barrier coated the bottom of my boat
and the guys loved your epoxy..They could not believe how easy it went
on and how fast it built up.. they also mentioned they liked the colors
blue and white. They commented on how nice it was to have
contrasting colors to see where they left off from coat to coat... I think you will
start getting orders out of Daytona Beach very soon... I have been
using your epoxy myself and find it is very easy to work with... I'm
glad I took the chance on you. Your epoxy does everything you said it
would..
Thanks Mike D.

PRODUCT PRO AND CON REVIEW |

| CON | Thin coating, only available in 1 color (can be painted over) - subject to blush - apply indoors if possible |
floor epoxy paint with grit
This is our special floor epoxy with grit already mixed-in for non slip. It is solvent based, flexible, and rolls on at about 160 - 180 square feet per gallon kit. The solvents are necessary as they allow the grit thickened epoxy to roll our nicely and then 'shrink' down as the solvents evaporate away, allowing the grit to become fully exposed. We just couldn't achieve this nice distribution without the solvents. The end result is a floor with a grit surface. Texture is rougher than you would see in a shower, but still not 'industrial rough' - similar to what I have seen on custom wooden boats decks. One coat is fine, but two coats really masks the 'roller direction pattern' of the grit sometimes seen with only one coat, giving a slightly more textured surface with a more random pattern. It can be brushed on too, but the brush marks are very obvious. Unlike the Industrial Floor epoxy, but like the Water Bond epoxy, Rough Coat will not hide cracks and flaws on the surface. If you need to 'hide' cracks etc., use a base coat of the Industrial Floor Epoxy or our clear watery Low V epoxy under the Rough Coat. Being solvent based, pot life is measured in hours, not minutes.
A white film can sometimes form on the surface within the first 1 - 3 days if temps. are cool and dew/condensation form. Best applied indoors or in warm summer weather.
The color is a light tan or khaki. We selected this color because it has enough yellow it shouldn't show UV yellowing but it is light enough in color that you can topcoat it with a layer of latex or enamel in whatever color you want (and still have a non-skid texture). We have seen boat decks and patio decks etc. in this light tan woody color, and it is a color we don't have any other epoxy in, so it seemed like a good color to stock.
In terms of color and texture it seems to match the appearance of 'fine sharp sand in flat enamel' on small custom made wooden boats I've seen at the WoodenBoat show in Maine. The part A looks like whipped cream in the can but when mixed with the liquid part B it forms a nice coating.
Texture is suitable for bare feet.

EPOXY PAINT
PRO
Non-hazmat to ship - slow yellowing - Kevlar(tm) reinforced - can be applied underwater
CON
Traditional rigid epoxy
This product has its own web page
Extreme high epoxy performance at an affordable price. A non-hazmat, 100% solids epoxy. Kevlar (tm) micro fiber reinforced for chip resistance, loaded with feldspar/ceramic for extreme toughness and mechanical properties. This water tolerant epoxy will bond to wet or damp surfaces and can even be applied underwater. Odorless, so ideal for application in confined spaces. Paint pad or brush on at 15 mils without sagging (thinner if roller applied). Ideal for barrier coats. Coverage about 100 square feet per gallon with brush - about 140 square feet per gallon with roller (almost all solvent free epoxy paints have this sort of roller application coverage). Forms a very hard surface for outstanding wear/abrasion resistance.
NOTE: ALL THESE SOLVENT FREE EPOXY PAINTS ARE THICKER THAN 'REGULAR' PAINTS, ESPECIALLY AT TEMPS UNDER 70 DEGREES. WE GET 3-4 COMMENTS EVERY SPRING ABOUT THIS, BUT EVERYONE GETS THE COATING APPLIED! YOU CAN SAMPLE OUR SMALL TEST UNITS FIRST (SEE BELOW). STANDARD FIX IS A SMALL (WEE) BIT OF SOLVENT (MEK, ACETONE, XYLENE ETC.

Advantages: same longish pot life as the Water Gard 300 epoxy above; outstanding abrasion resistance, cycloaliphatic curing system, cold weather version available (i.e. the FAST version) for use when temperatures are under 65 degrees; 1.5 gallon packaging
Note: one underwater repair trick is to soak sponge/foam rubber with this epoxy and then jam (caulk) underwater seams, cracks, holes, etc. with the epoxy soaked foam. It will swell to form a tight seal and become rock hard.
This product comes in several 'flavors":
FC 2100 A - the original version (formerly FC 2100 epoxy) - 2:1 mix ratio, NON HAZMAT to ship - can be shipped by air.
FC 2100 FAST - a fast version (actually used for application cold temperatures - say 40 - 55 F)
Now you can use FC 2100 FAST in air or water temperatures as low as 38 degrees F. Use the fast version in temps. of 35 to 65 degrees F, the 2100 F and 2100 A in temps over 60 degrees. This FAST version (like the high temp version) requires hazmat or ORM-D shipping (must be shipped via ground only - no extra shipping charges).
FC 2100 HT - a high service temp version 4:1 mix ratio - this one is hazmat to ship - limited stock
High temperature version for use at temperatures 300 - 400 degrees F. now available too! (see our Epoxy temperature resistance site ) Will handle 300 plus degrees F dry temperatures after 150 degree post cure.

| CM 15™ EPOXY PAINT |
PRODUCT PRO AND CON REVIEW |
| PRO | Lots of flex (for surfaces that expand/contract, flex or move), long pot life |
| CON | Best if applied in temps over 60 degrees |
EXCELLENT WARM WEATHER EPOXY - (long pot life - warm weather ) QUALITY
EPOXY MASTIC PAINT - with lots of extra flex - compared to the more brittle, traditional epoxy paints.
CM 15 is a high solids (82%), two-part epoxy designed with a long pot life, slow cure, and outstanding flex. It
contains proprietary resins, wetting agents and penetrants for superior bonding. It's long pot life (up to 2-3
hours at 75 degrees) and low/medium viscosity make it suitable for application in the hottest of climates. Designed
with a lot of internal flex, CM 15 can handle thermal expansion and contraction of large surfaces without failing.
With a coverage rate of between about 150-200 square feet per gallon, this is an affordable epoxy coating. Colors:
ivory, black
Because if its long pot life and solvents, this epoxy applies more like "regular" paint than do the other epoxies. Note that at 60 degrees temp, painted surfaces are still tacky after 20-24 hours, so recommend for use above 70 degrees (or in hot weather when other epoxy paints will 'set up' too fast).
Two coats of this more flexible epoxy will make a suitable marine barrier coat (it is thinner than the Water Gard 300 barrier coat epoxy). Two coats of contrasting colors is a nice way to monitor coating thickness/ application quality control, etc. Note that when sanding you may detect a slight solvent odor, even months after application. This is OK.

Novolac 555™ epoxy paint:
| NOVOLAC 555™ EPOXY PAINT |
PRODUCT PRO AND CON REVIEW |
| PRO |
Cycloaliphatic novolac epoxy (superior temp and chemical resistance). Probably the only source for less than a gallon unit of a Novolac epoxy. Pot life measured in hours. |
| CON | Novolac epoxies are expensive |
Novolac 555 is a high solids (82%) cycloaliphatic novolac epoxy paint. Novolac epoxies are a special class of epoxies with enhanced chemical and heat resistance (basically you get one or the other, not both). This is our 'harsh environment' epoxy. This dark gray epoxy brushes or rolls on to surfaces nicely, in part due to the 18% solvents in the product. The solvents also give a pot life measured in hours, not minutes. Excellent abrasion resistance and can be applied to cold damp surfaces. Often used over polyester resins or 'regular' epoxies for the added protection it provides but can be, and is often used, by itself. Novolacs have gained added recognition due to recent articles describing ethanol based gasoline degradation of polyester and some epoxy fuel tanks. Coverage is about 125-150 sf per gallon.
