SHOP FLOOR

High-Gloss Durable Epoxy System

Mechanics take automobiles apart; fluids end up on the floor and parts and tools are dropped. SHOP FLOOR is a 1/16” thick industry standard for protecting concrete in areas that need a tough work surface with slip-resistant texture. Our version locks in the broadcast with a polyaspartic, which provides UV stability for exposure through large, open garage doors and chemical resistance to oil, transmission, and brake fluids.
