ResinTech Coating Systems: The Complete Guide for Contractors
Jun 18 , 2026
ResinTech is a professional-grade concrete coating system engineered for demanding commercial and industrial applications. Available exclusively through Canopus Supply in British Columbia, ResinTech products are formulated to perform where standard coatings fail — in high-traffic, chemically exposed, and structurally demanding environments.
This guide covers the complete ResinTech product lineup, how each product is used, and how to build the right system for your project.
The ResinTech Product Lineup
ResinTech TUE — Transparent Universal Epoxy (100% Solids)
ResinTech TUE is a 100% solids, zero-VOC clear epoxy designed as a universal base coat and primer for concrete floor coating systems. At 100% solids, it delivers maximum film build with no solvent evaporation — what goes on stays on.
- Use: Base coat, primer, and penetrating sealer for concrete floors
- Substrates: Concrete, masonry, previously coated surfaces (properly prepared)
- Key benefit: Zero VOC, 100% solids — no shrinkage, no off-gassing, maximum adhesion
- Topcoat compatibility: Compatible with ResinTech HPP, CRU, and broadcast systems
- Ideal for: Warehouses, manufacturing floors, parkades, commercial kitchens, broadcast flake systems
ResinTech HPP — High Performance Polyaspartic
ResinTech HPP is a fast-curing, UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat engineered for commercial and decorative concrete floors. It returns to foot traffic in as little as 2 hours and reaches full cure within 24 hours — making it the go-to choice for fast-turnaround projects.
- Use: Clear or pigmented topcoat over epoxy base coats and broadcast systems
- UV stability: Excellent — non-yellowing, colour-stable in sun-exposed environments
- Cure time: Foot traffic in 2–6 hours, full cure in 24 hours
- Temperature range: Wide application window including cold weather
- Ideal for: Showrooms, retail, restaurants, garages, decorative broadcast systems, fast-turnaround commercial jobs
ResinTech CRU — Aliphatic Topcoat Urethane
ResinTech CRU is an aliphatic polyurethane topcoat designed for long-term colour retention and UV stability. Aliphatic urethanes are the gold standard for topcoats in colour-critical and sun-exposed applications — they resist yellowing, chalking, and gloss loss far longer than aromatic alternatives.
- Use: UV-stable topcoat over epoxy and polyaspartic base coats
- UV stability: Excellent — aliphatic chemistry resists yellowing and chalking
- Abrasion resistance: High — suitable for foot traffic and light vehicle traffic
- Ideal for: Showrooms, exterior-adjacent areas, colour-critical decorative floors, high-visibility commercial spaces
ResinTech TCU — Aliphatic Top Coat Urethane
ResinTech TCU is an aliphatic urethane topcoat formulated for high-performance protective and decorative applications. Like CRU, it provides UV stability and long-term colour retention, with formulation differences suited to specific substrate and system requirements.
- Use: Protective and decorative topcoat for concrete and coated surfaces
- UV stability: Excellent
- Ideal for: Commercial and industrial floors requiring long-term colour and gloss retention
Recommended ResinTech Systems by Application
| Application | Recommended System |
|---|---|
| Warehouse / industrial floor | TUE base coat + CRU or TCU topcoat |
| Decorative broadcast flake floor | TUE base coat + broadcast + HPP clear topcoat |
| Showroom / retail (colour-critical) | TUE base coat + CRU pigmented topcoat |
| Fast-turnaround commercial job | TUE base coat + HPP topcoat (same-day return to service) |
| Parkade / vehicle traffic | TUE base coat + TCU or CRU topcoat |
| Commercial kitchen / food service | TUE base coat (zero VOC) + CRU topcoat |
Surface Preparation Requirements
All ResinTech systems require proper mechanical surface preparation. Concrete must be clean, profiled, and dry before application:
- Minimum CSP 2–3 for TUE base coat (diamond grinding or shot blasting)
- Moisture vapor emission must be within product TDS limits before application
- All cracks, spalls, and joints must be repaired and cured prior to coating
Canopus Supply stocks the full range of diamond grinding tooling and surface preparation equipment to get your substrate ready. See our Concrete Floor Preparation Guide for step-by-step instructions.
