Are you in need of a top coat for your epoxy?
Concrete Sealer, Epoxy Sealer, Tile Sealer, Paver Sealer
If you’re looking for a durable, long-lasting epoxy floor coating, you may want to consider a urethane top coat. Urethane top coats are designed to improve the chemical and abrasion resistance of epoxy, helping reduce maintenance in high-traffic areas.

Top Coat Over Epoxy
While epoxy is a durable surfacing material it can quickly lose its luster and become scratched and dull. There are a number of products on the market today that are used as a top coat to protect epoxy but the various drawbacks inherent to these conventional solutions have left contractors and building owners seeking for a more reliable choice.
Traditional Approach
Traditional Approach to Epoxy Top Coats – Urethane
Urethanes have been the predominant choice up until recently to protect the finish of epoxy floors.
While urethanes do a good job of this some of the complaints that contractors and owners have are the following:
- The once smooth and shiny epoxy gets an orange peel texture from the urethane
- It is not as hard and scratch resistant as was hoped for
- It leaves an uneven film which changes the color of the epoxy
- It can be prone to staining and marring from “hot tire pick up”
- It is topical and does not penetrate into the epoxy providing a relatively week bond and reduced overall hardness

RexShield Benefits
Benefits of the RexShield Epoxy Top Coat
The RexShield family of products offers a number of products that can be applied over Epoxy to create a glossy, satin or matte finish. Unlike urethane products, RexShield is an inorganic material that will offer many benefits for your epoxy floors.
Urethane top coats are typically applied over an epoxy base coat with a roller or sprayer. If you’re using a roller, you’ll want to make sure that the urethane top coat is designed for roller application.
While urethanes offer an improvement over epoxy alone, a common complaint is that they can create an “orange peel” effect on top of the smoother epoxy floors. In addition, urethanes are only moderately hard, abrasion and scratch resistant.
RexShield Highlights
- Increased Hardness: With a chemical structure similar to glass RexShield products are designed to repel scratching and abrasion and are much harder than urethanes
- Smoother Finish: RexShield does not develop an orange peel finish, and can either mirror or enhance the finish of the epoxy depending on the desired finish look.
- Chemically Resistant: RexShield products are completely chemically inert. Even corrosives like acetone, hydraulic fluid, MEK and other caustic substances have little to no effect.
- Quick Dry Times: RexShield products can be walked on within 2-4 hours of application. This speeds of projects and helps keep budgets in line.
Contractors & RexShield
Quick Dry Times
An alternate solution that Contractors across the US are switching to is the RexShield line of nano-ceramic epoxy top coats.
These ultra-hard coatings create a smoother finish over epoxy while offering substantial improvements in abrasion, scratching and chemical resistance. Similar in chemical structure to glass,
