Temperature Sensitivity: The Epoxy Conundrum

Epoxy Coating materials all have different measurements and restriction on data sheets. In this article we would like to focus on brand Purepoxy, highlighting SYSTEM : PUREPOXY FLAKES which are sensitive to temperature fluctuations, and winter exacerbates this challenge. Low temperatures can slow down the curing process, affecting the bonding and overall performance of the epoxy. Epoxy Boss acknowledges this and emphasizes the need for strategic planning during winter applications.

Restriction applies.

  • Substrate temperature must be 5.5°F (3°C) above dew point measured
 

Moisture Intrusion: The Snow Factor

Snow, the hallmark of Canadian winters, poses a dual threat to garage floor epoxy. The moisture from melting snow can infiltrate the epoxy during the curing phase, leading to adhesion issues and potential damage. Epoxy Boss unveils preventive measures to safeguard against moisture-related challenges, ensuring the longevity of your garage floor coating.

  • Humidity content of substrate must be < 4 % when coating is applied.
