A high-performance garage floor isn’t achieved with a single product, it’s built through a system of steps.
The Carbyne™ garage floor coating system from BioBond is engineered as a multi-layer solution designed to withstand real-world garage conditions, including vehicle traffic, moisture exposure, temperature changes, and chemical spills. Each layer in the system serves a specific purpose, working together to deliver long-term adhesion, durability, and a refined finish.
Below is a step-by-step look at how Carbyne™ and its garage floor coating application process.
Step 1: Concrete Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is the foundation of every successful garage floor coating system.
The concrete is mechanically ground or shot-blasted to open the surface profile and remove contaminants such as oils, dust, curing compounds, and previous coatings. Cracks, joints, and surface defects are repaired to create a clean, uniform substrate.
Without this step, even the best coating system cannot perform as intended.
Step 2: Carbyne™ SWaE250 Epoxy Primer
Once the surface is prepared, Carbyne™ SWaE250, a water-based epoxy primer, is applied.
This primer:
- Creates a consistent base for the system build
- Promotes strong adhesion between the concrete and coating layers
- Seals the substrate to reduce moisture-related risks
SWaE250 is allowed to cure according to specifications before moving to the next layer.
Step 3: Carbyne™ SSoE250 Epoxy Base Coat
The structural and visual foundation of the system comes from Carbyne™ SSoE250, a 100% solids epoxy base coat.
This layer:
- Add flakes, Mica, or quartz aggregates when specified
- Builds thickness and mechanical strength
- Provides the color foundation of the floor
SSoE250 is designed to handle the load-bearing demands of garages while contributing to the overall durability of the system.
Step 4: Carbyne™ SUP250 Polyurethane Topcoat
The final layer of the system is Carbyne™ SUP250, an aliphatic polyurethane topcoat.
SUP250 delivers:
- Extended working time for improved installation control
- A smooth, self-leveling finish
- High-gloss or matte appearance with UV stability to help prevent yellowing
- Resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and daily wear
This topcoat protects the layers beneath it while creating the finished surface users see and interact with every day.
Step 5: Cure Time & Return to Service
After installation, the Carbyne™ system is allowed to cure before returning the space to use.
Typical timelines include:
- Light foot traffic: same day or next day
- Vehicle traffic: generally within 24–48 hours, depending on site conditions
While the floor can be used quickly, full performance continues to develop as the system completes its cure, it’s best to wait 24-48 hours.
A Complete Garage Floor Coating System
The Carbyne™ garage floor coating system is engineered as a complete solution — not a shortcut. By combining SWaE250 primer, SSoE250 epoxy base coat, and SUP250 polyurethane topcoat, the system delivers strong adhesion, long-term durability, and a professional finish built for real-world garage environments.
