AQUALAB Pure Gloss | Water Based Urethane Epoxy Topcoat Product Overview AQUALAB Pure Gloss is a high performance, aliphatic water based urethane topcoat engineered to provide a professional grade protective shield over epoxy flooring. This two component (5 to 1) system delivers superior chemical resistance, elite abrasion resistance, and long term UV protection while maintaining a low odor application. This is the definitive choice for installers who need to protect warehouse and light duty commercial epoxy floors from premature wear, staining, and UV damage. The Aliphatic Advantage: Why Use a Urethane? While epoxy provides the structural build and "pop" for decorative floors, it is naturally susceptible to micro scratches and chemical staining. AQUALAB Pure Gloss adds an aliphatic urethane layer that is significantly harder and more resilient than epoxy. This is why most professional systems use a urethane or polyaspartic topcoat instead of leaving epoxy exposed. This results in: Extreme Scratch Resistance: Drastically reduces the "dulling" effect of foot traffic. UV Shielding: Unlike standard epoxy, this topcoat will not yellow and helps slow down the ambering of the epoxy layers beneath it. Stain Protection: Creates a non-porous surface that is much easier to clean and maintain in residential or commercial settings. Finish Options Gloss: Delivers a high-shine, glass like finish that maximizes color depth. Satin: Provides a refined, low-sheen look that hides surface imperfections and dust more effectively. Frequently Asked Questions Is this better than using epoxy as a topcoat?Yes. Aliphatic urethane topcoats provide significantly better chemical resistance, scratch resistance, and long term cleanability compared to standard epoxy alone. Does this product yellow?No. AQUALAB is non yellowing and contains UV inhibitors that help protect the underlying epoxy layers from direct sunlight. Can this be used indoors?Yes. The low odor, water based formulation is specifically designed for interior and occupied environments where solvent smells are not permitted. How many coats should I apply?We recommend two coats for the best durability and to ensure a perfectly uniform aesthetic finish across the entire floor. Can this be used over any epoxy?It is designed for use over properly prepared epoxy systems. If you are applying it over a different brand, we recommend a small adhesion test first. What is the mix ratio?The mix ratio is 5 parts Part A to 1 part Part B. Ensure you mix thoroughly for 2 to 3 minutes before application. What is the coverage rate?Coverage typically ranges from 500 to 600 square feet per kit on smooth surfaces and 400 to 500 square feet on partial flake epoxy floors. Can I add water to the mixture?No. Do not add water or solvents to the mixture. AQUALAB is formulated to be used exactly as it is packaged. How soon can I walk on the floor?The floor is typically ready for foot traffic after 24 hours of cure time at standard room temperatures. What is the best way to apply AQUALAB?Use the "dip and roll" method with a high-quality lint-free roller. This product is designed for dip and roll application rather than ribbon pour methods used with some other coatings.
