Do I need to apply a clear top coat over the EpoxyMaster Epoxy Floor Coating?
Clear top coats are usually applied to water-based products to prevent decorative fleck from chipping off. Water-based epoxy floor coatings are only 1.5 to 2 mils thick, which is as thin as a sheet of paper. The reasons these companies offer a clear top coat are to lock down and prevent the fleck and water-based epoxy from failing. Under normal circumstances you do not need to apply a clear top coat to our product. EpoxyMaster is an industrial grade high gloss resin-based epoxy floor coating that does not need a clear top coat over it. Due to the strength and the thickness of our product, which is 10 mils thick, once the fleck is applied it stays down without any flaking or chipping. We manufacture and sell a High Performance Clear UV Top Coat which is recommended for areas that will be exposed to a lot of direct sunlight, such as areas that have a lot of windows that will see sun on a regular basis, and industrial applications where there is heavy Hi-Lo traffic in manufacturing facili
