Extra Thick Epoxy Paint

What Is 100% Solids Epoxy Paint?

100% solids epoxy paint is a two-part coating made from 100% epoxy resins and hardeners with no water or solvent to evaporate out. Once the two components are mixed, they chemically cure into a hard tile like protective film rather than simply air-drying like conventional paint.

When applied over properly prepared concrete, the epoxy locks into the open pores of your slab and cannot be separated from the top layer of the concrete. It forms a protective layer designed to resist wear, impact, chemicals, staining and hot-tire traffic.

ArmorGarage 100% solids epoxy contains no added water or solvent carrier that evaporates away during curing that results in thin inadequate surface films. 

Coverage & How Much Epoxy to Order

Coverage is rated at up to approximately 200 SF per gallon on a properly prepared, relatively smooth surface. Because every concrete floor varies in porosity, texture and condition, we recommend planning your order around 170–185 SF per gallon rather than purchasing to the exact square footage of your floor. This provides a reasonable material allowance for normal absorption, surface variation, edges and application loss. Pitted concrete, grout lines and unusually porous or rough surfaces may require additional material.

Where to Use 100% Solids Epoxy Paint

Use this coating where you need a thick, durable epoxy layer over properly prepared concrete.

• Garage and residential concrete floors
• Commercial and industrial floors
• Automotive and maintenance areas
• Warehouses and work areas
• Floors exposed to vehicle fluids, road salts and chemicals
• High-gloss floors where easy cleaning and maintenance are important
• Base coats for decorative color-flake and multi-layer epoxy systems

Optional Topcoats for Additional Protection

For higher traffic, decorative flake systems or applications requiring additional abrasion and chemical resistance, apply a compatible protective topcoat over the cured epoxy. Lower abrasion-loss numbers indicate greater abrasion resistance.

Critical Application Instructions

Step 1 — Surface Preparation

• Concrete floors: acid etch or diamond grind to create the proper surface profile for epoxy adhesion.
• Tile and wood: use the appropriate ArmorGarage Epoxy Bonding Primer before applying the epoxy.
• Previously coated concrete: verify the existing coating is securely bonded before recoating. If the old coating fails the adhesion test, remove it by grinding before proceeding.

Step 2 — Mixing

Critical: once Parts A and B are mixed, the curing reaction begins immediately.

• Mix only about 1 gallon combined Part A and Part B per person rolling
• Mix with a Jiffy-style mixer and power drill at medium speed for approximately 2½ minutes
• If preparing more than one gallon, divide the material into separate working pails
• Pour the mixed epoxy onto the floor immediately after mixing
• Do not leave mixed epoxy sitting in the pail
• Do not mix an entire large set at once

Mixed epoxy generates heat rapidly in a container and can harden before it can be applied if too much material is mixed at one time.

Step 3 — Apply the Epoxy

Recommended application planning:  Concrete  porosity and texture vary from 
floor to floor, so having a reasonable material reserve helps prevent running
 short during application.

Filling Minor Pits & Voids

• Minor pitting can be filled by combining the epoxy with clean sand to create a slurry
• Use a flat squeegee to push the slurry into pits and voids while leaving minimal excess on the surrounding surface
• Allow the repair coat to cure before applying the finish coat according to the product recoat window
• Order additional material when filling extensive pitting or grout lines

Curing & Recoat Timing

• Typical cure time: approximately 12–14 hours depending on temperature and humidity
• Topcoat window: apply within the specified recoat period; if more than 24 hours passes, lightly sand before recoating
• If using primer: allow the primer to dry completely before applying the epoxy; typical dry time is approximately 5–6 hours

Color & Finish Options

Choose your epoxy color from the available product options above. Compatible color flakes and protective topcoats can be added when you want a decorative multi-layer finish or additional wear protection.
