WHY OUR EPOXY & POLYASPARTIC COATINGS ARE DIFFERENT
THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE CHEMISTRY.
Not all epoxy and polyaspartic coatings are created equal.
Products can carry similar descriptions, similar solids percentages and even similar technical specifications while being built with very different formulations and raw-material packages.
At **Epoxy Depot**, we believe quality starts with what goes into the bucket.

WE MANUFACTURE OUR OWN PRODUCTS IN THE USA
We don't simply put our label on somebody else's epoxy or polyaspartic.
**We formulate and manufacture our own products in the United States.**
That gives us greater control over:
* Raw-material selection
* Formulation
* Manufacturing
* Quality control
* Batch consistency
* Product development
* Continuous improvement
When you buy from Epoxy Depot, you're buying from a company that understands the chemistry behind the product—not simply the label on the bucket.
WE DON'T JUST SELL IT. WE MAKE IT.

# 1. HIGH-QUALITY FORMULAS START WITH HIGH-QUALITY CHEMISTRY
Our epoxy and polyaspartic systems are developed around **high-quality resins, curing agents and performance additives** selected for professional flooring applications.
Every component of a formulation serves a purpose.
We focus on balancing the characteristics contractors actually need:
**Adhesion • Flow • Leveling • Working Time • Cure • Durability • Appearance • Consistency**
Our goal isn't simply to manufacture a product that meets a basic specification.
OUR GOAL IS TO MANUFACTURE PRODUCTS PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTORS WANT TO INSTALL.
---
# 2. 100% SOLIDS DOESN'T TELL THE WHOLE STORY
This is especially important when comparing epoxies.
Two products can both say **100% solids** and still contain very different chemistry.
The solids percentage alone doesn't tell you the quality of the resin, curing agent, reactive components, pigments or additive package.
100% SOLIDS IS A SPECIFICATION.
IT ISN'T A QUALITY GRADE.
---
# 3. QUALITY EPOXY STARTS WITH THE RESIN SYSTEM
The epoxy resin and curing-agent package form the foundation of the coating.
These choices can influence:
* Adhesion
* Working time
* Cure
* Hardness
* Flow
* Leveling
* Appearance
* Chemical resistance
* Application characteristics
We formulate the **complete A+B system** so both components are designed to perform together.
WHAT'S INSIDE THE BUCKET MATTERS.

# 4. POLYASPARTIC QUALITY IS ABOUT MORE THAN SPEED
Fast cure alone doesn't make a great polyaspartic.
A professional polyaspartic requires a carefully balanced formulation that considers:
**Working Time + Flow + Wetting + Cure Speed + Appearance + Durability + UV Stability**
A coating that cures incredibly fast but gives the installer little time to properly work the material isn't necessarily a better coating.
SPEED IS ONLY AN ADVANTAGE WHEN THE REST OF THE FORMULA PERFORMS WITH IT.
---
# 5. FLOW & LEVELING MATTER
Contractors shouldn't have to fight their coating.
Our epoxy and polyaspartic formulations are developed with real-world application in mind.
Proper flow and leveling help create a more uniform surface while making the product more predictable to install.
BETTER APPLICATION CHARACTERISTICS HELP BUILD BETTER FLOORS.
---
# 6. THE ADDITIVE PACKAGE MATTERS
Some of the most important ingredients in a coating can represent some of the smallest percentages of the formula.
Carefully selected performance additives can influence:
* Air release
* Surface tension
* Substrate wetting
* Flow
* Leveling
* Foam control
* Cratering resistance
* Finished appearance
These are details that may never appear on the front of a bucket—but contractors can see the difference when they're installing the product.
GOOD CHEMISTRY ISN'T ALWAYS SOMETHING YOU READ ON A LABEL.
IT'S SOMETHING YOU EXPERIENCE ON THE FLOOR.
---
# 7. CONSISTENCY IS PART OF QUALITY
Professional installers need predictable products.
The material purchased today should perform consistently with the material purchased for the next project.
Because we manufacture our own epoxy and polyaspartic products, we maintain control over important production and quality factors, including:
**Raw Materials • Mix Ratios • Viscosity • Density • Pigmentation • Manufacturing Procedures • Batch QC**
CONSISTENCY IN THE BUCKET MEANS PREDICTABILITY ON THE FLOOR.
---
# 8. WE BUILD SYSTEMS — NOT JUST BUCKETS
Different floors require different chemistry.
A garage, warehouse, commercial facility, decorative metallic floor and high-traffic environment don't necessarily require the same coating system.
That's why our product line includes purpose-built chemistry for applications such as:
* Moisture-vapor epoxy systems
* 100% solids epoxy base coats
* Broadcast epoxy systems
* Metallic epoxy systems
* Polyaspartic topcoats
* Extended-working-time polyaspartics
* High-wear and specialty finish coats
THE RIGHT CHEMISTRY FOR THE RIGHT PART OF THE FLOOR.
---
# 9. PRICE PER GALLON ISN'T COST PER FLOOR
A lower-priced bucket doesn't automatically produce a lower-cost floor.
Professional contractors should consider the entire installation:
**Coverage**
**Film Build**
**Labor**
**Working Time**
**Number of Coats**
**Application Characteristics**
**Finished Performance**
**Potential Callbacks**
Saving a few dollars on material means very little if it costs more in labor, creates installation problems or results in a callback.
DON'T JUST COMPARE THE PRICE OF THE BUCKET.
COMPARE THE VALUE OF THE FINISHED SYSTEM.
---
# 10. WE FORMULATE FOR THE PEOPLE ACTUALLY INSTALLING IT
Laboratory testing and technical specifications matter.
But contractors experience things that numbers alone can't completely describe:
**Does it roll well?**
**Does it wet the concrete properly?**
**Does it level?**
**Does it release air?**
**Is the working time practical?**
**Is the cure predictable?**
**Does it produce the finished appearance I expect?**
Those questions matter because our products aren't developed just to look good on a technical data sheet.
THEY'RE DEVELOPED TO PERFORM ON THE FLOOR.
---
# THE BOTTOM LINE
# # TWO BUCKETS CAN LOOK SIMILAR FROM THE OUTSIDE.
# # WHAT'S INSIDE CAN BE VERY DIFFERENT.
We manufacture our own **epoxy and polyaspartic coatings in the USA** using high-quality formulations developed around professional installation and finished-floor performance.
**High-Quality Raw Materials**
**Purpose-Built Formulations**
**Controlled Manufacturing**
**Batch Consistency**
**Professional Performance**

DON'T JUST ASK WHAT IT COSTS.
ASK WHO MAKES IT.
