COATINGSPRO SEPTEMBER 2016 71 Innovative New Epoxy Topcoat From CFI Resists Yellowing Coatings for Industry (CFI) has introduced an innovative, new, high-performance floor topcoat that resists yellowing over the long term, solving a problem that has long plagued conventional epoxy coatings. Ideal for settings subject to damaging sunlight, the new Wearcoat 481HP was formulated from inception to be both anti-yel- lowing and fade-resistant. W hile all epoxies will eventually yellow, it will take twice the exposure for the 481HP to change noticeably while also improving wear resistance by 30 percent over conventional epoxy floor- ing. Developed as the go-to option for indoor/outdoor applications, exten- sive testing has demonstrated that it should prove ideal for garages, hangars, or other areas exposed to ultraviolet (UV) rays.
