Flo-Cote
This is a two pack epoxy based intensly white flow coat intended for interior use in boats. It has the advantages of epoxy in that it adheres tenaciously to the substrate, it is a very good moisture barrier and it provides a surface which does not stain easily and which is easy to clean. It is a thick material, incorporating thixotropic agents (which incease viscosity and non sag behaviour) and is designed to cover rough and uneven surfaces. It is tough and has good flexibility and it provides a smooth finish.
