Project of the Month:
Office Laminate Table Transformation

If you're looking to transform a laminate table from ordinary to extraordinary, consider using Polycuramine Metallic to get the job done! This office table was sanded with 80 grit sandpaper, vacuumed and solvent wiped with MEK. CFFS Polycuramine Metallic was applied with custom colors and design. Once cured a final top coat of SLE-100 clear was applied to give it a high gloss look.

Monthly Product Highlight: SLE-100

SLE-100 is a 100% solids Epoxy, primer/basecoat/topcoat that has exceptional adhesion properties to concrete substrates. Due to its unique chemistry, this coating exhibits great flexibility, working times and self-leveling properties while offering great chemical resistance as well. Low odor makes it a great choice for interior applications. What makes SLE-100 stand out from every other 100% Solids epoxy, is that is virtually odorless, has a 60 minute pot life, and VOC free. It can be applied direct to concrete in a single self-leveling coat, or as a primer/basecoat for broadcast systems. SLE-100 is sold clear in 3 gallon kits, or can be pre-tinted tan or gray. It can be applied from 90sqft/gallon (18mils) up to 400sqft/gallon (4mils). SLE-100 dries to tack-free state in 10-12 hours, and 48 hour drive on time. Maximum re-coat window is 72 hours.

Upcoming Events: Get Certified!
