CFI's New Flexible Coating Bridges Cracks, Seals Floors

Coatings for Industry, Inc. (CFI) has introduced its new WearCoat 474 Flexible Epoxy Coating, a two-part system designed to bridge small cracks in concrete slabs. It also functions as a waterproofing membrane to seal floors and help prevent leaks below the substrate.

Combining flexibility and durability, WearCoat 474 is capable of 85% elongation, about 30 times greater than typical epoxy coatings. The dent in the test panel demonstrates the coating’s flexibility without cracking. The product creates a membrane that can span small cracks and imperfections in the concrete slab while also working as a sealer. The coating’s protective qualities can be enhanced by adding fiberglass reinforcement.
