Product Highlights: Ply-Guard TC has been designed as a high performance top coat in various protective coating and seamless flooring applications. It provides maximum cleanability and stain resistance when used as a finish coat in color chip flooring or epoxy-quartz flooring. This coating is ideally suited for clean-room floors, automotive repair facilities, aircraft hangars, and other high-wear areas requiring resistance to fuels and chemicals. When used as a finish coat in wall coating systems, anti-graffiti properties are greatly enhanced.
Colors & Limitations: Sixteen (16) Standard Colors, Plus Clear

Do Not Use on Unprimed Substrate
