Original Formula- Savage Patriot-POLYKOTE CT UV Countertop Coating (2 Gallon Kit)

"This isn't epoxy; it's a Hybrid coating engineered for longevity. While traditional epoxy may initially impress, it inevitably succumbs to yellowing and dullness over time. Enter Savage Patriot's PolyKote Coating – a game-changer for the countertop coating Industry. Offering the same versatility as epoxy but with superior strength and UV resistance.

Yes, it comes at a slightly higher cost than epoxy, but for good reason. The premium raw materials required for PolyKote's production surpass those of epoxy. If you're seeking short-term savings on a few dollars, this isn't the solution for you. However, if your priority is long-term durability and avoiding callbacks from clients unhappy with deteriorating countertops, then PolyKote CT is your answer.

40-45 Minute working time. NO TORCHING REQUIRED- But can be used to move or warm product.

Note: All PolyKote products require a protective topcoat. Due to the Polymerization the substrate can experience shrinkage leaving a slight orange peel surface. This is normal. Sanding and applying the topcoat will flatten the surface and protect it. But again, these formulations will out perform epoxies.

Add metallic pigment, solid tints and more!

1:1 Mix Ratio. 2- Gallon Kit yields approximately 51 SF per kit at 5 oz per SF or 85 SF at   3 oz per SF. Do not pour more than 5 oz per SF in one pour.  Heat Resistant, NON- Yellowing, Water  Resistant, Easy to Clean, Low Odor, Low VOC, No torching required. Do not use urethane based primer coats prior to applying PolyKote original or any other PolyKote versions. Use a waterbase paint and wait for the product to fully evaporate off as PolyKote is Hydrophobic and could potentially not cure correctly.

Note: For Additives

Despite these measures, some additives used in materials may not be UV stable themselves. For example, certain types of colorants or fillers may be prone to UV-induced degradation or discoloration over time. When these additives degrade, they can sometimes impart an amber hue to the material. This phenomenon is often observed in plastics, paints, and coatings that are not specifically formulated for UV stability.

The process by which non-UV stable additives amber over time involves chemical reactions triggered by UV radiation. UV exposure can break chemical bonds in these additives, leading to the formation of chromophores, which are responsible for the amber coloration. Additionally, oxidative processes can occur, further exacerbating discoloration.

In summary, PolyKote is UV stable due to its formulation, which incorporates UV stability. However, materials that lack these UV stabilizing features may experience ambering over time as UV-sensitive additives degrade in response to sunlight exposure.

PolyKote Installation
