DESCRIPCIÓN
Turn a plain countertop, bar top, or live-edge slab into a glass-smooth, food-safe centerpiece.
EF-191 is a 100% solids, two-component epoxy countertop coating system engineered for a flawless, crystal-clear, high-gloss finish. Its low mixed viscosity flows out beautifully and releases air, so you get fewer bubbles and a glass-like surface with far less fuss. Pour it up to 1/4” thick in a single application to build depth, or spread it thinner to cover more area.
It's the go-to coating for kitchen and bathroom countertops, butcher blocks, bar tops, tabletops, river tables, and charcuterie boards. When properly mixed and cured, EF-191 meets Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) requirements for direct food contact — so it's safe for the surfaces your family and customers eat and prep on.
Beauty backed by toughness: EF-191 delivers 8,500 psi tensile strength, 6,200 psi compressive strength, 75–80 Shore D hardness, and excellent abrasion resistance for a surface that stays clear and scratch-resistant through daily use. At <50 g/L VOC it's LEED v4 low-emitting. Roll it on with a 10 mm roller, pass a torch over the surface to pop any residual bubbles, and let it self-level to a showroom shine. As an epoxy it will amber under prolonged direct sunlight, so keep finished pieces out of harsh UV or protect them with a UV-stable topcoat.
Key Features & Benefits
- Glass-Clear, Self-Leveling Finish: Low mixed viscosity flows out smooth and releases bubbles for a flawless 92.8 GU high-gloss clear coat.
- Food-Safe Surface: Meets CFIA requirements for direct food contact when properly mixed and cured — ideal for counters, bar tops, and charcuterie boards.
- Pour Up to 1/4” Thick: Build a deep, glossy coat in a single pour, or spread thinner to stretch coverage.
- For Countertops & Live-Edge Art: Kitchen and bath counters, butcher blocks, bar tops, tabletops, river tables, and charcuterie boards.
- Tough & Durable: 8,500 psi tensile, 6,200 psi compressive, 75–80 Shore D, and strong abrasion resistance.
- Low-VOC & Compliant: <50 g/L VOC, LEED v4 low-emitting.
- Easy Application: Roll on with a 10 mm roller and pop residual bubbles with a torch; seal porous substrates first.
