Industrial Coatings

Industrial Concrete Floor Coatings

When a floor has to stand up to heavy traffic, chemicals, and constant use, it needs an industrial-grade coating system — not a basic sealer. We offer Smith's professional line of epoxies, urethanes, and polyaspartics, engineered for the toughest environments: manufacturing, warehouses, food & beverage, healthcare, hangars, and commercial floors. Call and talk to a real surface-prep expert, not a call center.

Build Your Floor System

A professional floor coating is usually a system — a base coat, plus a topcoat that provides the wear surface and finish. Here's how our Smith's coatings fit together:

The Foundation (Base / Body Coat)

Epoxy MPP3 — a 100% solids multipurpose epoxy for priming, body coats, vinyl chip and quartz broadcast systems, and patching

The Finish (Topcoats)

Hi-Wear 90S — low-sheen, maximum-longevity urethane for the heaviest-traffic industrial floors
CRU '86 — high-gloss, UV-stable urethane for showrooms, hangars, and decorative floors
Polyaspartic 5000LO — low-odor, UV-stable polyaspartic with next-day return to service

Which Coating Do You Need?

Need a base coat or full-build floor? Start with Epoxy MPP3 — the versatile foundation
Heavy traffic, want it to last? Top with Hi-Wear 90S (low sheen)
Want high gloss and reflectivity? Top with CRU '86
Need low odor and fast return to service? Polyaspartic 5000LO
Decorative floor (metallic, chip, quartz)? MPP3 base + a UV-stable topcoat

Not sure how to build your system? That's exactly what we're here for — call and we'll spec the right base and topcoat for your floor, your traffic, and your finish.
