Epoxy floor coating quotes from named factories
Share the grade, resin system, solids content, quantity, packaging and US destination so wholesale replies can be compared on one basis. This desk does not hold inventory, mix coatings or certify a plant.
- 01Record chemical name, CAS where known, grade and intended floor duty.
- 02Ask each proposed epoxy floor coating manufacturer for SDS, TDS and CoA format on the exact SKU.
- 03Align drums, IBCs, UN number and freight scope before ranking unit price.

Evidence boundary
What this desk can state versus what a quotation must confirm
Public product-family references help frame questions. They are not a substitute for the safety data sheet, technical data sheet or certificate of analysis of the quoted epoxy floor coating.
Resin system
Buyer records bisphenol-A, novolac, waterborne or other requested chemistry.
Supplier confirms the resin system on the TDS.
Solids
Buyer records target percent or leaves it open.
Supplier states solids content with test method.
Viscosity
Process window for application crews stays a buyer note.
Quoted viscosity, pot life and coverage use a stated temperature.
Documents
This desk requests current SDS, TDS and CoA format.
The plant issues documents for the quoted concentration and batch.
Transport
Buyer names US destination and packaging preference.
UN number, packing group and carrier class come from the exact SDS.
Application matrix
Floor duties that change the purchase fields
The same family name can hide self-leveling, mortar, flake broadcast or waterborne builds. Record the duty so quotes do not mix incompatible solids and cure schedules.
Warehouse slab
Ask for abrasion class, film build, and whether a primer is in or out of scope. Moisture vapor emission remains a site measurement, not a claim of this desk.
Wash-down aisle
Request chemical splash resistance notes on the TDS and whether the quoted color uses a food-contact statement. Do not treat a related grade SDS as evidence.
Parking deck
Separate traffic-bearing membranes from decorative flake systems. Coverage in square feet per gallon is only comparable at the stated wet-film thickness.
Distributor restock
For an epoxy floor coating distributor program, state drum or IBC net contents, pallet pattern and whether a sample kit is needed before a recurring forecast.
Packaging and transport
Questions that keep freight comparable
These logistics questions sit beside the quote so drum, IBC and destination charges stay visible before any unit-price ranking.
State kilograms or liters and the package count. A 200 kg drum and a 1000 L IBC are not interchangeable for flash point handling or pump-off at the US site. Leave the supplier to confirm net fill and palletization.
The UN number, packing group and DOT or IMDG wording come from the exact SDS of the quoted concentration. This site does not publish a transport class for the product family.
Treat a 1 kg trial kit as a separate line with its own SDS and acceptance test. Production drums should not be used as free samples unless the buyer records that decision.
Ask the supplier to state storage temperature, shelf-life dating and whether the package is nitrogen-blanketed. Final handling follows the SDS, not this webpage.
Samples and files sit beside the quote, not instead of it
A sample can confirm color, viscosity or cure on a test panel. It does not replace SDS, TDS or CoA for the production concentration. Optional budget and high-end, mid-range or economy preference help rank offers; they are not verified ratings.
