Description

SMART EPOXY BE4 FINISH is a two-pack amine-adduct cured epoxy finish for use on steel and cement surfaces where chemical, oil and abrasion resistant coating is required. If it is to be applied over steel, it has to be used in combination with the appropriate primers as recommend-ed below. If it is to be applied over concrete the surface should be acid-treated prior to application.
