GarageGuard

Waterborne Epoxy is a water-based catalyzed epoxy
which offers performance equal to traditional solvent based epoxy
systems. It provides superior chemical, abrasion and impact resistance
when compared to conventional waterborne epoxies. The highly cross-
linked film provides years of service. Additionally, this product may be
applied to most generic coating types without the fear of lifting or
wrinkling. This is a two component product with a mix ratio of 3:1. It
requires 3 parts of the proper “A” or Base Component (under filled
gallon can) mixed with 1 part of the proper “B” or Converter
Component (quart). Mixing of Partial Kits Is Not Recommended.

*If top coat is not applied within 48 hours abrade the surface to ensure
proper inter-coat adhesion. Maximum abrasion and chemical resistance
are achieved at full cure; care should be taken to prevent damage to the
coating during the curing process. High humidity and cool temperatures
will result in longer dry, recoat and cure times.
