Rust-oleum 353862 Hard Surface Epoxy Floor Primer 1 Gal Kit

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 353862 is a two-component, water-based epoxy primer engineered to improve adhesion of floor coatings over difficult-to-coat or marginally prepared substrates. It bonds to hard-troweled concrete, aluminum, and various tile surfaces where standard prep methods fall short. The 353862 is supplied as a 1-gallon kit in a flat white finish and carries nationwide VOC compliance. Licensed flooring contractors and commercial painters rely on it as a foundation coat before applying solid-color, decorative, or metallic floor coating systems.

This primer is well suited for warehouse floors, distribution centers, and commercial facilities where mechanical or chemical surface preparation is impractical or incomplete. It serves as a basecoat for warehouse line striping, zone marking, and decorative floor coatings including metallic systems. The formulation accepts topcoats as early as 5 hours after application and remains re-coatable for up to 7 days without sanding, giving installers scheduling flexibility on active job sites.

Follow all applicable local safety codes and the manufacturer data sheet for surface temperature and humidity requirements before coating. Allow adequate ventilation in enclosed spaces during application and curing.
