Epoxy Casting and Tabletop Resin

Epoxy.com Product #214


GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Epoxy.com Product #214 is an all-purpose, low viscosity Epoxy System for coating wood and concrete counter tops, tabletops, bar tops and similar applications. Product #214 is commonly used as a clear self-leveling flooring material, where an extremely flat and level floor is required over concrete and wood.  Also used as a clear adhesive matrix for specialty colored glass and colored aggregate flooring and tiles. Product #214 forms a glossy, hard surface, which is resistant to stains. Product #214 has excellent clarity and color retention. It is essentially odorless and can therefore be used in occupied areas.


ADVANTAGES

bulletLow odor for use in occupied areas
bulletLow viscosity - good wetting properties
bulletMeets USDA standards for use in food handling applications
bulletGlossy finish
bulletStain resistant

CONSIDERATIONS

bulletMinimum application temperature of Normal Cure 50 Degrees F.
bulletSubstrate must be free of curing agents and any foreign materials.
bulletSlight color variation can be expected from batch to batch.
bulletPigmented version should not be used as a coating.

 
SURFACE PREPARATION

Surface Preparation is the most critical portion to any successful epoxy application. All substrates must be properly cleaned and prepared. Substrate must be free of oil, paint, sealer, caulking, and all other contamination that will interfere with the bonding of this material. Please see Surface Preparation. Contact Epoxy Systems, Inc. for more details.


MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

Stir each component separately. Combine 2 parts A to one part B by weight into a clean container. Stir for three minutes, scrapping bottom and sides of container frequently. Do not add thinners.
