GLOSSARY TERM

Mixing Ratio

The proportion of paint components that must be mixed together to achieve the desired properties.

INFO

What it is

Mixing ratio is the precise proportion in which the components of a multi-part coating, such as a base and hardener, must be combined to achieve the intended properties.

Why it matters

Two-pack coatings only cure correctly when mixed to the right ratio. Getting it wrong leaves a film that may stay soft, cure poorly, or fail early, so accuracy is essential.

Where it is used on a project

Critical with epoxies, polyurethanes, and other multi-component products used where durability and chemical resistance matter.

How NECC approaches it

We measure and mix multi-component coatings to the manufacturer's specified ratio, so they cure fully and deliver the strength and durability they are designed for.

FAQ's

What is a mixing ratio?

It is the precise proportion in which the components of a multi-part coating must be combined for it to cure and perform correctly.

What happens if the ratio is wrong?

The coating will not cure properly, leaving a soft, weak, or unreliable film, so the ratio must be followed exactly.
