More about our epoxy product lines (and useful technical links):

Welcome to your source for premium quality, solvent-free epoxy coatings for a wet and brutal world. Our line of epoxies are designed around a performance criteria beyond that of ordinary epoxy coatings.

Several of our epoxies offer properties and convenience unmatched anywhere in the world. These epoxies can actually be applied and will cure underwater and unlike other so-called underwater epoxies (PRIMARY INFO LINK FOR UNDERWATER EPOXIES) , we do not contain MDA or excessive Nonyl Phenol and our wet surface adhesion is outstanding. That holds true for damp surfaces and high humidity environments too - places most epoxies fear to tread. Of course, we bond to dry surfaces too! We are often used when other coatings and epoxies fail. Many epoxies also generate huge amounts of heat when they begin to cure. This can be dangerous to works and damaging to surrounding surfaces. Compared to other epoxies, we have a very, very low exotherm reaction. Click here to see an example of this.

Our performance epoxies are used to rehabilitate sumps, manholes, sweating pipes and busy loading dock floors. Divers use these epoxies to repair ships, piers, and pilings. We are approved and used in nuclear plants in the United States and for potable water facilities in Australia.Visit our case studies web page to better understand the application niches our epoxies occupy.

Internationally, these epoxies are used extensively in the Petroleum and Refinery sectors. Click here to see specific job sites.

Also truly unique to several of our coatings is the use of Kevlar® microfibers to thicken and internally reinforce many of our epoxies. Highly inert, highly damage resistant, shock/impact absorbing, chemical resistant Kevlar gives these coatings both thickness and durability as well as internal cohesiveness, much like the use of rebar in concrete.

Finally, all of epoxies are all solvent free (0% VOC),essentially odorless, and can several of them can be shipped without special and expensive HAZ-MAT shipping. Our more uniform cure cycle means a greatly reduced exotherm heat release reaction. Forgiving mix ratios tolerate mixing errors that would ruin other epoxies. Our epoxies will not blush and require no induction time. Click here for CASE STUDIES

We are the only coating that bonds not only to damp floors, but also to floors with a vapor transmission problem. Read the articles, How and Why To Epoxy Paint Your Concrete Slab and Advanced Epoxy Flooring Systems. We offer lots of floor coating options, from sealers and stains, to broadcast epoxy systems. Costs per squ foot for floor epoxy/stain systems (materials only) range from 40 cents to about $3.50. Using a combination of products from multiple manufactures, we can offer you a system from a low cost sealer/stain, to a medium priced epoxy system, to the premium quality epoxy system.

Our epoxies vary from brush/roller viscosity to paste-like thickness. We also have high-temperature epoxies, water based striping epoxies, epoxies with Teflon, concrete patching and filling epoxies, boat building epoxies, and even flexibilized epoxies.

Reasons for coating failures

Preparation problem 70%; application problem 12%; environment problem 6%; wrong paint selection 9%; bad paint 1%; adding thinner 2%

"At least 70% of premature coatings failures are traced back to 'surface preparation' whether referring to wood, concrete, or metal. In a commercial recoating project, the costs (and profit) associated with surface preparation are about 70% of the job. How extensive the surface preparation is will depend on the performance expectation of the owner... Know the A, B, C's of surface preparation - visible contaminants, invisible contaminants, and profile."

Dr. Lydia Frenzel, The ABCs of Surface Preparation, Cleaner Times, April 2001, pg. 42-44.

We've found that most problems are the result of recoating too soon. Recoat epoxies after 24 hours, for putting different kinds of coatings over each other, wait at least 48 hours. Our aluminum filled, moisture cured urethane is an exception. Topcoat within 16 hours.
