- Surface prep
- Mechanical diamond grinding to a CSP 2 to CSP 3 profile on every floor, never acid etching
- Dry film thickness
- 15 to 35 mils on a multi-coat flake system, 40 to 120 mils on high-build and self-leveling floors
- Basecoat solids
- 80% to 100% solids by volume, so the coat does not shrink thin as it cures
- Topcoat
- UV-stable aliphatic polyaspartic clear coat that will not amber in the sun through an open garage door
- Moisture testing
- Every slab tested; above 3 lbs per 1,000 sq ft per 24 hours it gets a moisture-mitigating epoxy primer
- Hot-tire resistance
- Rated for tire contact heat from 140°F to 180°F
- Slip resistance
- 0.60 to 0.85 DCOF with aluminum oxide or polymer grit in the clear coat
- Hardness
- 75 to 85 Shore D, so a dropped wrench or a jack stand does not gouge it
- Compressive strength
- 8,000 to 12,000 PSI, well above the 3,000 to 4,000 PSI of the slab underneath
- VOC content
- 0 to 50 g/L, inside South Coast AQMD limits
- Walk-on time
- 4 to 8 hours on polyaspartic, 18 to 24 hours on 100% solids epoxy
- Park-on time
- 24 to 36 hours on polyaspartic, 72 to 96 hours on 100% solids epoxy
