Description

Equus Chevaline Epistixx Flooring is an epoxy flooring coating for use on most interior surfaces that provides an easy to clean, hygienic, medium duty floor finish.
The system includes a two-component waterborne epoxy primer/bodycoat with high adhesion, and a two-component waterborne epoxy topcoat that provides a glossy, fast-curing finish.
