Dear Sir, We applied the Industrial Floor Epoxy in our work trailer yesterday, and I swept off the excess sand today. We are very pleased with the results. None of us had any particular experience with this kind of application, but we followed the instructions, had a fairly cool morning to do the work, and managed to complete the application in about 90 minutes, dividing the work and mixing epoxy in three sections. I would recommend this material to friends looking to do similar work. Thank you for your assistance, the all-purpose sand was quite adequate for our needs.

 ROUGH COAT™: two part floor epoxy with grit

CANNOT BE SOLD IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

floor epoxy paint with grit

This is our special floor epoxy with grit already mixed-in for non slip. It is solvent based, flexible, and rolls on at about 160 - 180 square feet per gallon kit. The solvents are necessary as they allow the grit thickened epoxy to roll our nicely and then 'shrink' down as the solvents evaporate away, allowing the grit to become fully exposed. We just couldn't achieve this nice distribution without the solvents. The end result is a floor with a grit surface. Texture is rougher than you would see in a shower, but still not 'industrial rough' - similar to what I have seen on custom wooden boats decks. One coat is fine, but two coats really masks the 'roller direction pattern' of the grit sometimes seen with only one coat, giving a slightly more textured surface with a more random pattern. It can be brushed on too, but the brush marks are very obvious. Unlike the Industrial Floor epoxy, but like the Water Bond epoxy, Rough Coat will not hide cracks and flaws on the surface. If you need to 'hide' cracks etc., use a base coat of the Industrial Floor Epoxy or our clear watery Low V epoxy under the Rough Coat. Being solvent based, pot life is measured in hours, not minutes.

When grit is mixed into a paint or epoxy and brush applied, one can see the brush mark pattern. The results look better when roller applied. Two coats always helps provide more grit and a more uniform pattern.  Part of the problem is the mixing and dispersion of the grit in the liquid product. Rough Coat overcomes almost all of these objections but making the part A of this two part epoxy almost like whip cream and matching the density of the grit to the density of the coating. Also by using some solvent in the coating, it brushes on nicely and 'shrinks' down as it cures and the solvent flashes off, leaving behind a nearly perfect  and uniform non skid texture.

A white film can sometimes form on the surface within the first 1 - 3 days if temps. are cool and dew/condensation form. Best applied indoors or in warm summer weather. This is amine blush.

The color is a light tan or khaki. We selected this color because it has enough yellow it shouldn't show UV yellowing but it is light enough in color that you can topcoat it with a layer of latex or enamel in whatever color you want (and still have a non-skid texture). We have seen boat decks and patio decks etc. in this light tan woody color, and it is a color we don't have any other epoxy in, so it seemed like a good color to stock.

In terms of color and texture it seems to match the appearance of 'fine sharp sand in flat enamel' on small custom made wooden boats I've seen at the WoodenBoat show in Maine. The part A looks like whipped cream in the can but when mixed with the liquid part B it forms a nice coating.

Texture is suitable for bare feet.

 Vee Seal™:

THIS IS A WATER BASED PRODUCT THAT SHOULD NOT FREEZE - PRODUCT IS SHIPPED FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE - NOT SHIPPED FROM DEC. 1 - NARCH 15 DUE TO RISK OF FREEZING

A proprietary catalyzed Potassium formulation (not a silane or siloxane)

One part, non-epoxy concrete pore filler/fortifier. Seals and waterproofs by crystallizing within surface pores thus reducing permeability and porosity while leaving no trace on the surface of the concrete. Since it doesn't leave a surface layer, it doesn't prevent future painting or coating.

Use to stop that 'damp, musty smell in your basement that can promote mold and lead to serious health problems!

Coverage about 200-250 square feet per gallon.

Although untested, it is probably useful for sealing off subsurface greases and oils on surface degreased concrete, preventing the oils from subsequent migration back to the surface and affecting the epoxy bond.

Use on floor slabs, concrete surfaces with standing water, back-up protection under concrete paints, parking garages, etc. More information: Bio-Vee concrete fortifier and sealer

Our typical purchaser is coating using this product to coat the concrete in a new home construction - typically purchasing 5-10 gallons.

USED BY ITSELF, IT WILL REDUCE, OR ELIMINATE, MOISTURE MIGRATION THROUGH CONCRETE FLOORS AND WELLS (THROUGH THE CONCRETE ITSELF, NOT WHEN MIGRATION IS THROUGH CRACKS). IT IS USED ON CONCRETE THAT IS ALWAYS A BIT DAMP AND TO END THE 'MUSTY' OR DAMP SMELL IN BASEMENTS, ETC. PERHAPS MORE IMPORTANTLY, BUT LESS OBVIOUS, IS THAT BY REDUCING OR ELIMINATING MOISTURE MOVEMENT THROUGH THE CONCRETE IT INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF A SUCCESSFUL PAINT OR COATING JOB ON THE CONCRETE SURFACE (NOTE: THIS PRODUCT WORKS BELOW THE SURFACE OF THE CONCRETE, IT LEAVES NOTHING ON THE SURFACE). THIS IS BECAUSE MANY COATING FAILURES ARE THE RESULT OF MOISTURE OR VAPOR PRESSURE BUILDING UP ON THE UNDERSIDE OF COATINGS APPLIED TO CONCRETE.

BECAUSE OF THIS, BIO VEE SEAL IS ALSO A RECOMMENDED, BUT OPTIONAL, PRE-TREATMENT TO CONCRETE SURFACES THAT WILL BE COATED WITH SOME SORT OF SURFACE COATING.

WILL SEAL UNCOATED/UNPAINTED STUCCO!

Hi Paul,

I purchased your Bio Vee Sealer for my concrete garage and I must say the stuff works great. It's very obvious that water does not "seep" into the concrete now when the floor gets wet. Hopefully this will prevent oil stains and such later on.

> I used the bio-vee after discussing it with you 3 years ago. The concrete was new - walls,12 mos. - floor maybe 6 mos... Applied Bio-Vee Seal to the floor and walls inside. I also did the exposed walls outside. The humidity has improved (lowered) considerably. No need for a dehumidifier now.

Almost 2 years later Dave used it again.....

Aluthane™ (METALLIC COATING):

Aluthane is a thin, high solvent level, aluminum filled, one part moisture cured urethane. Color obviously is an aluminum gray/silver. It has amazing adhesion. It is more commonly used on steel and wood surfaces, but also works well on concrete (seal and provide a tough thin coating of 'silver-gray'), so we are mentioning this product here as well. This product has its own web page (click here).  FIND IN THE NON EPOXY SECTION OF ONLINE STORE

I received an email on aug. 7th from Sgt. Josh X reminding me how well Aluthane  works on floors. "Hello, Have used aluthane before and it is an amazing product. Applied it to a shop floor 6 years ago and no chips or scratches."
