    Low-Temperature Epoxy Protective Coatings

    Keep working when temperatures drop—these coatings can be applied in temperatures down to 20° F, when other coatings would fail. Thicker than polyurethane and paint, they protect against abrasion and resist moisture and chemicals. Coatings may chalk with exposure to sunlight. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts.
