Coverage and Yield Per Gallon

Use these theoretical factors to determine coverage to unfilled epoxy resin as a guide for resin usage. Please note that this is a 1.5-gallon kit and these numbers are based on theoretical physical data. It is also important to consider the type of substrate to be coated in regards to its surface roughness and porosity or absorbency, to determine coverage on a flat smooth surface,

Determine the length x width x thickness in inches to obtain the cubic volume inch of the mixed resin needed.

Use the following equation:

1 gallon of resin can covers 1608 square feet

Per 1 mil or 0.001 inch cured coating thickness on a smooth and none absorbent substrate (a pane of glass for example,

(length x width x coating thickness)/ 231 cubic inches per gallon = cubic inches of coating need

50 inches x 36 inches x 0.010 (10 mils) = 18 cubic inches

18/231= .0779 gallon of mixed resin

Use these factors to convert gallon needed into volumetric or weight

Measurements use the following factors by the gallon needed:

For example:

231 x .0779 = 17.99 cubic inches

Or

4195 grams x .0779 = 326.79 grams
