  1. WHY EPOXY GARAGE FLOOR COATINGS CAN TURN YELLOW Allgrind EXPOSURE TO ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT If we talk about the primary cause for epoxy floor coatings turning to yellow color, then it is its exposure to ultraviolet light. When it gets exposed to sunlight or effective indirect sunlight over a while, then epoxy undergoes a photochemical reaction called “polymer degradation”. The polymer’s degradation further causes the epoxy to experience a gloss reduction. This entire process is called ambering. And when you familiarize yourself with ambering, then there will be no big deal to resolve this issue. EXTREME HEAT & OXIDATION Extreme heat & oxidation are another one of the primary causes for epoxy coatings to turn yellow. This problem becomes the cause only when the hardener is opened to oxygen, and it slowly starts to oxidize and turn yellow. However, when combined with the colored resin, the result comes as a yellow tint. This is why epoxy has a restricted shelf life of around one year in an unopened vessel. POOR-QUALITY EPOXY GARAGE FLOOR KITS When you buy budget-friendly or poor-quality epoxy garage floor kits from your local home renovation markets, then it gives you the worst results and also leads the epoxy to turn yellowish. Since the cheap quality epoxy floor kits do not have ultraviolet stabilizing additives, it turns amber quickly and loses gloss moderately if exposed to direct sunlight. This is why it is advised to always use the best quality epoxy kits. In the hunt for having cheap epoxy flooring coating prices, you can face many challenges. APART FROM THESE REASONS, THERE ARE MANY MORE. BUT NOW, LET’S JUMP TO SOME OF THE TIPS THAT YOU CAN IMPLEMENT TO GET RID OF THIS ISSUE.
