Box-store kits are typically 35–45% water or solvent carriers that evaporate as the coating dries, leaving a paper-thin 2–3 mil film that peels under hot tires within months. EPOXY 49 is 100% reactive solids (ASTM D2697) — zero water, zero VOC filler, and zero shrinkage — curing into a 32–40 mil monolithic armor rated over 11,500 psi compressive strength.
When do I need MVB 49 Moisture Vapor Barrier instead of PRIMER 49?
If your concrete slab tests below 3 lbs/1,000 sq ft MVER (ASTM F1869) and below 75% internal relative humidity (ASTM F2170), use PRIMER 49 for deep capillary adhesion. If your slab tests between 3 lbs and 25 lbs MVER (or up to 99% RH), or shows efflorescence/high alkalinity (up to pH 14), apply MVB 49 directly to the CSP 3 profiled slab.
Why must mixed epoxy be poured onto the floor in ribbons immediately?
100% solids epoxy cures via an exothermic chemical reaction that generates heat when concentrated in a 5-gallon pail. Leaving mixed resin in the bucket accelerates the reaction and cuts pot life in half. Pouring immediately onto the cooler concrete slab dissipates heat and gives you the full 30–45 minute working window.
How many jars of Metallic Mica Pigment do I need per kit of EPOXY 49?
Use 1 jar (150g) of Epoxy49 Metallic Mica Pigment per gallon of Part A resin — which equals 2 jars (300g total) per 3-Gallon Kit of EPOXY 49. Always pre-blend the pigment into Part A before adding Part B hardener.
What is the recoat window between EPOXY 49 and POLYASPARTIC 49?
Apply POLYASPARTIC 49 once EPOXY 49 is tack-free, between 8 and 24 hours at 72°F. If more than 24 hours elapse before topcoating, mechanically abrade the epoxy surface with a 120-grit sanding screen and solvent-wipe with denatured alcohol or acetone before rolling POLYASPARTIC 49.
