Decorative vinyl color chips/flakes are specially formulated paint aggregates used to enhance the aesthetic qualities of seamless epoxy, polyurea, polyaspartic and urethane resin-based flooring systems.  They can be used on commercial, residential and industrial floor projects. This unique product is random in shape, sized within a standardized range in 6 sizes (1″, 1/2″, 1/4″, 1/8″, 1/16″, 1/32″).

Shown below are 72 blended color combinations plus 100’s of additional factory blended styles. Chips/flakes are broadcast into colored epoxy, polyurea, polyaspartic or urethane base coating.  When the coating is tack free and ready to be re-coated, excess chips are cleaned off surface and one or two coats of a clear topcoat are applied. How thick or number of topcoats required depends on the amount of flakes used.  More flakes = more clear topcoats to properly cover.

Chips sold in 10 lb increments (up to 40 lbs/box).  How much to use depends on look desired.  The more chips the less you see of the basecoat color and more of the chips you see.  For a partial broadcast, apply chips at the rate of 1 lb chips per 20 sq’ to 200 sq’ of floor.  For full broadcast to refusal 1 lb chips covers 6-8 sq’ for 1/4″ chips and 5-7 sq’ for 1/8″ chips.  Full broadcast means chips applied so heavy the coating can’t absorb anymore and floor is no longer wet.

**Earth tone vinyl chip/flake colors offer longer term UV stability for outdoor applications.  However blends with intense, rich and bright colors such as Lime Green, Hot Pink, Dark Blue not recommended for outdoor use as they will fade and shift in color over 1-2 year period.  For all outdoor projects recommend a non-yellowing Aliphatic clear top coat for maximum UV stability.

Note:  Flake orders (excluding the stocked 40lb blends) are custom made at the time of order placement. Due to this, flake orders are NOT eligible for return. If you are not certain that you will like the selected flakes, please feel free to contact us to arrange a small sample.
