Terms

mil  •  a unit of measurement equal to ¹/₁₀₀₀ inch used especially in measuring the thickness of coatings.

millimeter  •  a unit of length equal to ¹/₁₀₀₀ of a meter and equivalent to 0.03937 inches. Abbreviation: mm

*These are theoretical coverage rates & do not account for transfer loss (example: product left in roller cover) or surface irregularities. Additional material should be ordered in consideration of these factors.

Coverage rates listed on product data sheets will vary based on floor type, system selected, and porosity. It is always recommended to "round up" when ordering products.
