Is UltraClear epoxy durable enough for commercial bar tops and restaurant tables?

Yes. UltraClear Bar & Table Top Epoxy is a commercial-grade resin designed for high-traffic surfaces like restaurant tables, bar tops, and countertops. It has been the go-to product for contractors across the U.S. for over a decade, and it cures to a Shore D hardness of 98 with a glass-like, high-gloss finish that is scratch resistant and non-yellowing.

Commercial applications such as restaurants, bars, and hotels only use one coat of epoxy, which self-levels to 1/8 inch, twice as thick as other epoxies. After the epoxy has cured for 72 hours above 75°F, bars and restaurants re-open and put the surface into daily use. It keeps hardening toward its full rating for several months after that, so use coasters, placemats, and trivets early on.

Specifics customers ask about:

Dice, glasses, and general bar use: the surface is designed to withstand daily wear like this. Sharp or rough edges can still scratch it, so don't use it as a cutting surface.

Workbenches: many customers have coated workbench tops with excellent results.

Food contact: once cured, the epoxy is 100% VOC-free and safe for food contact, so it suits restaurant dining tables. Do not cut food directly on it.

Weight and flex: the epoxy is rigid. It won't deform under weight as long as it is applied to a sturdy, suitable substrate, but it is not designed to be flexible.
