The power of the sun is undeniable. It can heat, create solar power, and discolor epoxies with its UV rays! Every epoxy will yellow over time with exposure to UV light, causing floor discoloration. There are several things to combat this amber effect created in the epoxy, different pigments can be used to counteract the effect, or different topcoats can be used.
While every epoxy will take on some sort of yellow hue over time, not every epoxy is created equal. Some epoxies take a long time to discolor, and when they do are barely noticeable. V-8’s 100% solids 6.0 High Performance Epoxy is a high end industrial strength epoxy that is extremely color stable. Our 6.0 High Performance Epoxy has done better than our competition in side by side outside color comparisons over several years in direct sunlight.
