Waterbased DIY Garage Floor Paints

Author: Dr. Andrew Hearley

Garage floor paints and sealers formulated from one-component water-based acrylic resins offer many advantages to the DIY market over two-component water-based or solvent-based products. One-component systems are easy to apply, environmentally friendly, cost effective, and produce non-yellowing protective films with good abrasion resistance, but generally suffer from poor wet adhesion when exposed to standing water, as well as inferior chemical/stain resistance and hot tyre pick-up. New developments in Eco-label compliant, one-component water based acrylic resin technology now allow coatings formulators to overcome many of these issues associated with current commercially available one-component water-based concrete sealers and paints.
