Allow more time at cooler temperatures. The surface should be ready for light foot traffic in 12-16 hours. Allow 24-48 hours before placing heavy items and for normal foot traffic. Allow 3 days for full cure and vehicle traffic.

EpoxyShield® Water-based One Part Concrete Paint is a modified acrylic floor paint designed for use on carports, garages, driveways, basements, porches, patios, walkways, and pool decks. It may also be used on indoor or outdoor vertical masonry or concrete surfaces.

Minimum of 5 years from date of production in unopened cans, if stored in dry, well ventilated areas, not in direct sunlight at temperatures between 5° and 35° C.

60˚-85˚F. FOR BEST RESULTS. Optimal application temperature 60˚-85˚F. Top coat with EpoxyShield Premium Clear Coating for ultra protection and a high-gloss finish.

Epoxy waterproofing material is hard, have high impact strength, and abrasive resistant. It lasts for almost 30 years for residential settings whereas, for industrial and commercial settings, it lasts between 5-10 years due to the high traffic of vehicles and foot on the epoxy flooring.

Need floor protection that's tough enough for heavy-duty commercial and shop environments? Rust-Oleum® EPOXYSHIELD® Professional Floor Coating provides superior resistance to chemicals, wear and even standing water - with the ultimate in adhesion and durability.

10 years Epoxy Lasts a Long Time You won't need to worry about redoing your patio anytime soon if you opt for epoxy flooring. The average lifespan of durable floor coatings can be upwards of 10 years.

For instance, Rustoleum spray paint lasts 4-7 years before opening but fades immediately upon UV exposure.

Maximum Temperature: It's recommended that you keep the temperature as close to 75°F as possible but, if you are having issues maintaining a consent temperature, it is ok to go over 75°F (Up to 90°F). Never go under 75°F.

The most basic resins can stand up against temperatures from 150° F to 300° F for short periods of time. Over time, the epoxy will begin to distort when exposed to these temperatures. Heat-resistant epoxy is a lot more durable than its basic counterparts. It can typically withstand heat up to 600° F.

Once cured, epoxy resin is waterproof. Once it has finished bonding and curing, epoxy will prevent permeation by nearly any liquid or solid material, including water and humid air.

The effects of water on uncured epoxies and epoxy composites are studied. Experiments show that water causes an increase in the cure rate of epoxy materials at low degrees of cure and a decrease in cure rate and total cure at high degrees of cure.
