With a compressive strength of nearly 19,500 psi and a Shore D hardness of 82, it is engineered to withstand the heavy point loading and abrasive wear associated with frequent forklift and pallet jack traffic in manufacturing and warehouse settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #081C8F;\"\u003eWhen should I use Epoxy 600 instead of standard epoxy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou should upgrade to APF Epoxy 600 when your project environment demands more chemical resistance and faster turnaround times than a general purpose epoxy can provide. It is the industrial step-up choice for professional results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #081C8F;\"\u003eIs Epoxy 600 resistant to hot tire pick up?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Because Epoxy 600 is a high performance 100% solids resin with high cross-linking density, it does not soften under the heat of automotive tires. This makes it a superior choice for high end automotive shops and showrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #081C8F;\"\u003eCan I apply this over an existing epoxy coating?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenerally, no. For Epoxy 600 to perform at its full industrial specification, it must bond directly to a mechanically profiled concrete surface. Applying a high performance industrial epoxy over a lower-grade, failing coating creates a weak link in the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #081C8F;\"\u003eWhy is the pot life only 20 minutes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh performance resins cure via an exothermic reaction. The faster cure time is a professional feature that allows for quicker turnaround, but it requires the installer to pour the material onto the floor immediately after mixing to avoid excessive heat buildup in the bucket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #081C8F;\"\u003eDoes this product work in lower temperatures?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. APF Epoxy 600 cures much better in cool temperatures (down to 50°F) than most general purpose epoxies, making it a favorite for winter installations or cooler facility environments.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"APF","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55872198672687,"sku":null,"price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/3150\/3151\/files\/apf-epoxy-600-industrial-floor-coating-1-gallon.jpg?v=1777401618","url":"https:\/\/onestopepoxy.com\/products\/apf-epoxy-600","provider":"One Stop Epoxy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
