Color: Pearl White #14 / 25g
Mica Powder Additive
Mica Powder Additives are premium, finely milled mineral pigments designed to create metallic, pearlescent, and shimmering effects in epoxy resin systems. When mixed into clear, colored, or sand epoxy, mica powders disperse evenly to produce rich color depth, natural movement, and a durable decorative finish.
These additives are compatible with 2-part epoxy systems used for floor coatings, sand epoxy applications, and tabletop pours, offering consistent color performance without compromising epoxy workability when used within recommended dosage ranges.

Not paint. Not a coating. A permanent floor system.
Most garage floor products you see at hardware stores are 1-part acrylic or latex epoxy paints. They look like epoxy, they're marketed like epoxy, but they sit on top of concrete without a true chemical bond. Hot tire pickup, oil spills, and foot traffic degrade them within 1–3 years.
Our system is a true 2-part bisphenol A epoxy resin that chemically cross-links with the concrete surface on a molecular level. It doesn't just sit on top — it bonds into the concrete profile. That's why it lasts 10–20 years under conditions that destroy paint-based coatings in a season.
Quartz Sand Epoxy vs. Everything Else
- ❌ 1-part system
- ❌ No chemical bond
- ❌ Peels from hot tires
- ❌ 1–3 year lifespan
- ❌ No texture or grip
- ❌ Looks dull at year 2
- ⚠️ Requires primer coat
- ⚠️ 15–30 min pot life
- ⚠️ Expensive per sq ft
- ⚠️ Hard to DIY correctly
- ✓ Fast cure time
- ✓ UV stable (clear coat)
- ✅ True 2-part system
- ✅ Chemical concrete bond
- ✅ Quartz texture + grip
- ✅ 10–20 yr lifespan
- ✅ DIY-ready kit format
- ✅ $2.49/sq ft value
Why the quartz aggregate makes all the difference
The silica quartz sand isn't just decorative. When it embeds into the wet epoxy, it:
- ●Adds hardness and impact resistance that plain epoxy can't achieve alone
- ●Creates a natural non-slip texture — safer than smooth epoxy or polished concrete
- ●Prevents micro-cracking from thermal expansion and contraction cycles
- ●Gives the floor its signature stone-like depth and texture that paint can never replicate

Surface Preparation (Most Important Step)
Clean thoroughly — remove all grease, oil, dust, and contaminants with a concrete degreaser. Repair cracks and holes. Grind or shot-blast the surface to open the pores and create a mechanical profile for bonding. A properly prepped floor bonds for 20+ years. A rushed prep fails in 12–18 months regardless of product quality.
⏱ 2–4 HoursPrimer (Recommended for Older Concrete)
Apply primer to porous or previously coated surfaces. Primer fills micro-pores, dramatically improves adhesion, and prevents off-gassing bubbles. Allow full cure before proceeding. Especially important on concrete older than 5 years.
⏱ Per product labelMix Part A + Part B
Combine at the exact ratio on the label using a drill and paddle mixer. Mix thoroughly for 2–3 minutes — unmixed streaks will not cure correctly. You have 20–30 minutes of working time (pot life). Work in manageable sections for larger floors.
⏱ 20–30 min per kitPour, Spread, and De-Foam
Pour the mixed epoxy onto the floor and spread with a 22" squeegee to achieve an even layer. Immediately follow with a spiked de-foaming roller — pass over the surface multiple times in overlapping rows to release trapped air bubbles and embed the quartz aggregate.
⏱ 30–60 min per areaCure and Enjoy
Allow to cure in a dry, ventilated space. Walkable in ~24 hours, light use after 48 hours, full cure at 72 hours (68°F+). Avoid water for 7 days, heavy loads for 5 days. After full cure, your floor is chemical-resistant, easy to clean, and built to last decades.

"We did our entire restaurant floor — 1,800 sq ft. The self-leveling system made it manageable for our crew. Health inspection passed with flying colors. The slip resistance is exactly what we needed in a commercial kitchen."
"As a flooring contractor, I've tried a lot of epoxy systems. This is the easiest to install I've found — and the finish quality is genuinely commercial-grade. My clients love it. I order in bulk every month."
"Completely transformed our 3-car garage over a weekend. The instructions were clear and the team was available by phone when I had questions. Looks absolutely incredible and held up perfectly after 6 months."
"Our warehouse needed something that could handle forklifts, spills, and constant foot traffic. Eight months in — zero issues. No peeling, no cracking. Exactly what was promised. Would order again without hesitation."
"The bulk pricing program saved us thousands on a 12-location retail rollout. Responsive team, fast shipping, and consistent quality across every location. This is our go-to for all future build-outs."
"Fast shipping, great phone support, beautiful result. I miscalculated and ordered too few kits — they had more shipped same day. That kind of service is why I keep coming back. Five stars all the way."
