UV-stable clear finish
Aliphatic polyaspartic chemistry resists yellowing and chalking for a crystal-clear, high-gloss finish that holds up indoors and out.
Same-day return to service
Recoat in 2 to 4 hours and walk on it in 4 to 8, so you can reopen the space the same day.
Superior abrasion and chemical resistance
Just 0.03 g of Taber abrasion loss protects the color and flake beneath from foot and cart traffic.
Built for flake and color systems
The go-to thin clear topcoat over vinyl flake broadcast (chip) floors and solid-color coatings.
Flexible and tough
40% elongation at break resists cracking, with 5,150 psi tensile and about 0.75 DCOF wet traction.

In the kit
- 2-gallon kit: 3.78 L resin (Part A) plus 3.78 L hardener (Part B)
- Two-component system, mix only what you can spread in 20 to 25 minutes
- Crystal-clear base, supplied clear only
Pairs with
Seal an EF-100 base coat or a vinyl flake broadcast from our 25 lb flake box with EF-275. On a damp slab, lay down EF-160 moisture vapor barrier first. Diamond grind concrete to ICRI CSP-2 and build the base before the clear coat.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is EF-275 used for?
It's a UV-stable clear topcoat applied over solid-color coatings and vinyl flake (chip) systems to seal in the finish and protect it from wear, chemicals, and sunlight. It's the final clear layer of a floor system, not a base coat.
Will EF-275 turn yellow?
No. As a true aliphatic polyaspartic, it resists yellowing and chalking and keeps a crystal-clear, high-gloss finish in both interior and sun-exposed applications.
How quickly can I reopen the floor?
Fast, at 68°F you can recoat in 2 to 4 hours, allow foot traffic in 4 to 8 hours, and vehicle traffic in about a day. Full cure is roughly 7 days.
Can I apply EF-275 directly on concrete?
No, it's a topcoat, not recommended for use directly on bare concrete. Apply it over a prepared base coat or flake system. Make sure the slab has a moisture barrier to avoid delamination.
How much does one kit cover?
A 2-gallon kit covers about 400 sq ft at 8 mils over an existing coating, or about 267 sq ft at 12 mils over a vinyl flake broadcast system.
Can I get EF-275 in a color?
No. EF-275 ships crystal clear only, and Latux does not offer a color pack for it. Build the color into the layer underneath with a solid-color base coat or a vinyl flake broadcast, then seal it with EF-275 as the clear topcoat.
Why are there tire marks on my polyaspartic floor?
Rubber tires can stain a polyaspartic coating through plasticizer migration, and quick stops or starts can leave rubber burn marks. This is normal for clear coatings; use floor mats under vehicles where staining is a concern.
What is the working time after mixing?
About 20 to 25 minutes at 70°F. Mix only what you can spread within that window and never leave mixed product in the bucket.
Is polyaspartic better than epoxy for a garage floor?
They do different jobs. Epoxy like EF-100 builds the base and bonds to the concrete. Polyaspartic goes on top as the clear coat: it won't yellow in sunlight and it resists abrasion, with just 0.03 g Taber loss. Most garage systems use both. See our Polyaspartic vs Epoxy guide.
How many EF-275 kits do I need for a 2-car garage?
A typical 2-car garage runs about 400 to 500 sq ft. Over an existing coating at 8 mils one kit covers about 400 sq ft, so plan on 1 to 2 kits. Over a vinyl flake broadcast at 12 mils a kit covers about 267 sq ft, so plan on 2 kits.
What's the difference between EF-275 and EF-280?
Same UV-stable polyaspartic performance. EF-275 is the 2-gallon kit at 75% solids for thin clear coats. EF-280 is the 3-gallon kit at 80% solids and covers more floor per kit, about 600 sq ft.
What temperature can I apply EF-275 in?
Apply between 41 and 86°F. Working time is 20 to 25 minutes at 70°F and gets shorter when it's hot, so mix small batches on warm days.
Is EF-275 slippery when wet?
It tests at about 0.75 DCOF wet (ASTM E303-93). Keep in mind a high-gloss clear coat over a smooth base will feel slicker than a textured flake floor.
What is the VOC content?
Under 100 g/L, LEED v4 low-emitting. If your state has a stricter VOC limit, EF-285 is under 50 g/L.
How does shipping work?
Free UPS Ground shipping on orders of $150 or more. A single EF-275 kit qualifies. You can also pick up free at our Pompano Beach warehouse. For large jobs or contractor pricing, message your Latux rep.
