Low-Yellowing Epoxy for Outdoor Resin Bound Gravel

Outdoor resin bound surfaces can lose their vibrant appearance over time, especially when exposed to UV rays. Low-yellowing epoxy binders are designed to minimise colour change, making them a reliable choice for coloured aggregates in driveways, patios, and pathways.

Why Choose Low-Yellowing Epoxy?

A standard epoxy can gradually discolour when subjected to sunlight, causing coloured stones and grits in resin bound gravel to fade or yellow. Low-yellowing epoxy offers improved UV resistance, helping maintain clarity and the intended look of warm or dark aggregates. This is particularly valuable for projects that feature vibrant or non-white stones, where colour fidelity is essential.

Practical Guidance for Application

When working with coloured pebbles or grits, select an epoxy binder formulated for low-yellowing and outdoor use. The recommended ratio is typically around 3% resin by weight of aggregate, ensuring each stone is evenly coated for durability and performance. Take care to mix the binder and aggregates thoroughly for a consistent result.

If you prefer an all-in-one approach, consider the Flowstone Complete Permeable Floor Kit, which includes the appropriate resin guidance for your chosen aggregate shade.

When Low-Yellowing Epoxy Matters
