Series 284 | Deco-Clear

Generic Type Modified Polyamine Epoxy
Common Usage A clear finish for decorative flooring systems. It protects against mild chemicals, impact and abrasion, providing a skid-resistant or smooth finish depending on the number of coats.
Colors Clear. Note: Epoxies chalk and yellow with age, extended exposure to UV and artificial lighting. Caution should be taken when selecting white and light pastel colors. Lack of ventilation, incomplete mixing, miscatalyzation or the use of heaters that emit carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide during application and initial stages of curing may cause amine blush, possibly affecting adhesion of subsequent topcoats.
Finish Gloss. The texture of the finished surface depends on the number of coats applied.
Intermediate Series 222, 223, 224, 237
Topcoats Series 284, 285, 295
Volume Solids 100% (mixed)
Recommended DFT As a finish coat: 8.0 to 10.0 mils (205 to 255 microns) per coat.
As an intermediate coat with Series 285 or 295: 14.0 to 16.0 mils (355 to 405 microns) per coat.
