Good to know
- One product, three jobs. Because 8320 works as primer, body coat and topcoat, a simple commercial floor can be built entirely from it, which removes intercoat compatibility from the risk list.
- Epoxy ambers under UV as a class. For showrooms, glass fronted spaces and anything near a sunlit overhead door, plan on a UV stable clear topcoat over it.
- Low viscosity means it penetrates a ground slab well, but it also means it will run on a sloped floor or into a drain if you build it too heavy in one pass.
- Epoxy cure slows as slab temperature drops. Check the minimum application temperature on the technical data sheet before scheduling a cold weather install.
- Ships as a regulated liquid under ground shipping rules. Call 817-676-6793 for freight on large or pallet orders.
About the Crown Polymers Epoxy 8320 Kit
Crown Polymers Epoxy 8320 is a hybrid epoxy system built for floors that take chemical and abrasion punishment. It is 100 percent solids, low odor and low viscosity, and it is supplied in 3 gallon kits. Crown lists it as compliant with VOC, USDA and FDA standards, which is why it turns up in food plants, healthcare and commercial kitchens where a general purpose coating will not clear the spec.
The useful thing about 8320 is that it fills three system positions. It functions as a primer, as a body coat and as a topcoat, so a straightforward commercial floor can be built out of one product in multiple passes instead of three separate SKUs. That simplifies ordering, it simplifies the truck, and it removes intercoat compatibility as a variable, since every coat in the build is the same chemistry.
Low viscosity is what makes it work as a primer. It wets into a ground slab and penetrates rather than sitting on top, which is where the adhesion comes from. Built heavier as a body coat it gives you the film thickness that carries abrasion resistance, and as a topcoat it delivers the chemical resistance the product is sold on. For interiors exposed to strong UV, remember that epoxy as a class ambers over time, so a UV stable clear over the top is the answer for showrooms and glass fronted spaces.
Typical work for this material is industrial kitchens, warehouses, processing areas, mechanical rooms and healthcare back of house. Mix ratio, coverage rate at each film build, pot life and recoat windows are on the technical data sheet, available on request at 817-676-6793.
What it is used for
- Industrial kitchens and food processing areas
- Warehouse and distribution floors
- Healthcare and institutional back of house
- Mechanical and equipment rooms
- Commercial floors needing chemical and abrasion resistance
Before you order
Work out how much you need
The most common ordering mistake in this category is buying by the gallon instead of by the floor. Coverage changes with porosity, profile and whether the coat is a base, a broadcast or a topcoat. Put the slab dimensions in and get a range rather than a single number.
How much material do I need?
Enter the slab. We will give you a range, because porosity and surface profile change real coverage.
- Floor area
- 400 sq ft
- Base coat
- 3.1 to 3.4 gal
- Topcoat (1 pass)
- 3.1 to 3.4 gal
- Flake
- about 8 x 25 lb boxes
Base coat, flake broadcast to rejection, then a clear topcoat. Order roughly 10% over on a first job.
Questions about this product
Can Crown Polymers 8320 be used as a primer and a topcoat?
Yes. Crown Polymers Epoxy 8320 functions as a primer, a body coat and a topcoat, which means a straightforward commercial floor can be built from a single product across multiple passes. That keeps every coat in the build the same chemistry and removes intercoat compatibility as a failure point.
Is Crown Polymers 8320 food safe?
Crown Polymers Epoxy 8320 is listed as compliant with VOC, USDA and FDA standards, which is why it is specified in industrial kitchens, food processing areas and healthcare facilities. Confirm the specific listing against your facility's requirements using the technical data sheet before you specify it.
How much floor does a 3 gallon Crown 8320 kit cover?
Coverage for Crown Polymers Epoxy 8320 changes with system position, since a penetrating primer coat stretches much further than a built body coat, and a porous ground slab pulls more than a tight one. The technical data sheet lists the rate per film build. Call 817-676-6793 to size an order.
What is a hybrid epoxy?
Crown Polymers Epoxy 8320 is described as a hybrid epoxy system, meaning the resin chemistry is modified rather than a straight unmodified epoxy, in this case to deliver 100 percent solids with low viscosity and low odor together. Full chemistry and performance detail are on the technical data sheet.
Will Crown 8320 yellow in sunlight?
Epoxy as a class ambers with UV exposure, and Crown Polymers Epoxy 8320 is an epoxy, so in a sunlit showroom or near a glass overhead door expect color shift over time. Where appearance matters under UV, finish with a UV stable polyaspartic or urethane clear over the epoxy.
Does Crown Polymers 8320 smell during application?
Crown Polymers Epoxy 8320 is a low odor, 100 percent solids formula, which makes it workable in occupied buildings, healthcare spaces and food facilities where solvent smell would shut the job down. Still ventilate and wear a respirator rated for organic vapor and particulates while mixing and applying.
