Pro Tips

  • Epoxy coatings provide excellent chemical and abrasion resistance
  • Proper surface preparation is critical for epoxy adhesion
  • Temperature and humidity significantly affect epoxy curing
  • Mix ratios must be precise for optimal performance
  • Pot life limits working time after mixing components
  • Multiple thin coats often perform better than single thick coats
  • Consider long-term maintenance and recoating requirements
