Waterproof Epoxy Floor Coating For Continuously Wet Floors
The only industrial epoxy engineered for floors that never dry — car washes, meat packing, seafood processing, chemical plants, and marine environments. Standard epoxy fails in months. This one is built to last.
Why Standard Epoxy Fails in Wet Environments
Car washes, meat packing, seafood and poultry processing floors are constantly wet and constantly washed down with hot caustic chemicals. This destroys any standard floor epoxy no matter how strong it is. Using the wrong product here isn't just a waste of money — it creates unsanitary conditions and expensive downtime when the coating fails and must be fully removed.
Here's what happens: tiny fissures form in the epoxy surface over time from constant hot washdowns, cleaning chemicals, food oils, and blood. Moisture gets into those fissures and works its way down to the concrete. Once it hits the slab it creates efflorescence — and bacteria — which pushes back up through the epoxy, causing complete coating failure.
You must use an epoxy specifically designed for continuous wet and caustic environments. ArmorGarage Wet Processing Epoxy is formulated to solve this exact problem — standard products are not engineered for this and will fail.
Applies directly to wet floors — a massive advantage in processing environments where getting the floor completely dry requires significant downtime. This coating bonds to damp and wet concrete, eliminating the drying wait entirely.
Performance Features
Ideal Applications
Also works great in troughs, concrete or steel basins, and on ferrous machinery — wherever continuous moisture and chemical exposure destroys standard coatings.
Coverage & Specifications
- Two coats required for full 16 mil thickness at standard 200 sf/gal spread rate
- Adjustable thickness — apply anywhere between 80 sf/gal (40 mils) and 200 sf/gal (16 mils) per your project requirements
- Light traffic in 12 hours, full service in 24 hours
- Available colors: Bright White, Light Gray, Medium Gray, Dark Gray. 4-gallon sets available for orders of 30 gallons or more
- Can be applied over existing coatings that are sanded clean and roughed up
Non-Slip Finish Options
Option 1 — Non-Slip Additive
Mix our Heavy-Duty Non-Slip additive directly into the epoxy second coat before application. Easiest method — no extra steps.
Option 2 — Broadcast Sand
Broadcast coarse sand to rejection into the first coat. Let dry, sweep up all loose sand, then apply the second coat. Note: coverage on second coat may be slightly reduced — order a little extra to be safe.
Cove Base Option
Add our Cove Base kits to create a seamless radiused floor-to-wall transition. The epoxy coats across the floor and up the wall, forming a completely waterproof tub for easy pressure washing. This eliminates the 90-degree floor/wall angle where bacteria and contaminants accumulate — essential for code-compliant food processing and washdown environments.
Easy DIY application — applied with roller or brush by in-house maintenance staff. No experience needed for professional results. No contractor required.

Application Instructions
Surface Preparation
Clean the floor by diamond grinding or muriatic acid wash to remove any oils or grease. Rinse the floor clean after acid washing.
The floor can be wet during application — no need to wait for it to dry completely before coating.
Mix & Apply First Coat
Mix Part A and Part B at a 3:1 ratio. Pour in a bead from left to right and apply with a phenolic core roller.
Pot life is 30 minutes. This is NOT a water-based product — do not mix more than you can apply in approximately 20 minutes. Work in manageable batches.
Wait for First Coat to Cure
Allow the first coat to dry for approximately 4–5 hours until dry to the touch. The first coat must be completely tack-free before applying the second coat.
Apply Second Coat
Apply the second coat perpendicular to the direction of the first coat where possible for the most uniform finish.
Finish note: The finish may have slightly uneven gloss depending on application method and conditions. This is a cosmetic characteristic only and will not affect the performance or durability of the coating.
Non-Slip Additive (Optional)
If using non-slip additive, mix in one pint per gallon after Part A and Part B have been combined and mixed.
Keep mixing continuously while applying to prevent the non-slip aggregate from settling to the bottom. Use a roller pan when applying with non-slip additive.
Cure & Return to Service
Allow the coating to dry overnight. The floor can be returned to full service the next day.
