What is Low-Yellowing Epoxy & When Should You Use It?

← Back to How much does a professional resin paving kit cost?

Low-yellowing epoxy is a type of resin binder formulated to minimise yellowing and colour shift over time, making it particularly valuable in outdoor paving and decorative applications using coloured stones.

Why Opt for Low-Yellowing Epoxy?

Standard epoxies can discolour with prolonged sunlight exposure, resulting in a yellowish tint that may alter the original look of your paving. Low-yellowing epoxy is designed to stay clearer for longer, retaining the vibrancy of coloured pebbles. This makes it the preferred choice for surfaces where visual appeal is important—such as patios, decorative walkways, and garden paths using non-white aggregates.

Choosing the Right Binder for Your Project

When selecting a resin paving kit like the Flowstone Complete Permeable Floor Kit, guidelines typically recommend low-yellowing epoxy specifically for coloured stones, while white or very light aggregates may require non-yellowing polyurethane for optimal results. Always follow the installation instructions provided with your kit to ensure maximum longevity and colour preservation.

When Does Low-Yellowing Epoxy Matter Most?

• You’re installing surfaces in full sun or exposed outdoor areas
• You’re working with coloured gravel or stones and want to maintain their original shade
• Long-term aesthetics are key for your project, such as public spaces, driveways, or patios
