POLAFLOOR EPOXY TOPPING
High-Strength Floor Topping. Impact, Wear & Chemical Resistance.
POLAFLOOR EPOXY TOPPING is a high-performance epoxy floor topping engineered to withstand extreme wear, impact, and chemical exposure in demanding industrial environments. Designed for repair, resurfacing, and leveling, it restores damaged areas while creating a durable, long-lasting surface with minimal maintenance requirements.
Ideal for use in chemical plants, machine shops, plating facilities, breweries, and other heavy-duty settings, this system produces a uniform, slightly textured finish that enhances both performance and appearance. Its fast-setting formulation enables rapid strength development, reducing downtime and allowing for quicker return to service.
Supplied as a complete, pre-measured kit—including aggregates—POLAFLOOR EPOXY TOPPING simplifies installation while ensuring consistent, high-quality results.
Key Benefits
- High-Strength Performance – Withstands heavy impact, abrasion, and industrial use.
- Chemical Resistance – Protects against aggressive chemicals and process exposure.
- Fast Setting – Rapid cure reduces downtime and accelerates project completion.
- Traffic Ready – Suitable for vehicular and heavy equipment traffic.
- Pre-Packaged System – Includes pre-weighed aggregates for simplified mixing and application.
- Durable Textured Finish – Provides a uniform, slightly granular surface.
- Low Maintenance – Long-lasting surface reduces repair and upkeep requirements.
Typical Applications
- Repair of damaged floors, holes, and worn surfaces
- Stairways and loading dock edge restoration

Preparation and Application
Surface Preparation
The surface to be coated must be clean, dry and sound. If the strength of the concrete is in doubt, perform pull-off tests to assess the suitability for the intended use. Remove all traces of oil, grease, dust, laitance or other contamination with suitable cleaning agents and/or by mechanical grit-blasting, scabbling or grinding. Concrete may need acid treatment, particularly if dense or new. Thoroughly flush with clean water; do not allow evaporation of acid or dirty water to re-contaminate the surface.
Application
Add Part ‘B’ of the Epoxy Primer to Part ‘A’ and stir until contents are thoroughly mixed. Apply all of the mixed primer by brush or fibrous roller within 15 minutes of mixing. Do not allow the Epoxy Primer to pool or cure before applying the Epoxy Topping. The Epoxy Topping is best laid while the Epoxy Primer is tacky, normally between 15 minutes and 2 hours of application.
Using a cretangle or mixal type mixer, load the mixer with the entire contents of the Epoxy Topping Aggregate Pack. Add Part ‘B’ of the Epoxy Topping to Part ‘A’ and stir until contents are thoroughly blended. Pour this mixture into the running mixer. Use a spatula to “strip out” any remaining resin. Mix until all components are uniformly blended, at least 2 minutes. The mix must be laid before cure commences (approximately 20 minutes at 70°F).
Rake out the mixed POLAFLOOR EPOXY TOPPING to a uniform, uncompressed depth of approximately twice the required finished thickness (i.e., for 200 mils, rake to 400 mils). Compact by heavy pressure with a steel trowel. Finish off with light, angled troweled movements to remove trowel marks, indentations, etc. It is usually not necessary nor desirable to use solvent during application.
POLAFLOOR EPOXY TOPPING may be readily formed to provide coving, skirting or steps It will trowel to vertical surfaces of any height provided sufficient ‘key’ is first obtained by surface roughness and timing of the application of the Epoxy Primer. Difficult odd shapes and deep holes can be coated or filled by incorporating ‘K’ Additive into the mix at the resin plus hardener stage. In areas exposed to weathering, heavy chemical attack, wet operations or where extreme cleanliness is required, seal POLAFLOOR EPOXY TOPPING with Polafloor PD or Clearcoat 44. Remember that a gloss finish will reveal imperfections. If a traction improving finish is required, grit particles may be incorporated into the seal coat.
Clean up
Tools may be cleaned with xylene before cure takes place.
