| Variant | Size | Ideal For | Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| AGAR Tuff Gloss | 20 Litre | Large commercial facilities, schools, hospitals, shopping centres | Cost-effective bulk supply for high-demand environments |
| AGAR Tuff Gloss | 5 Litre | Smaller businesses, offices, and professional cleaners | Convenient size, easier handling, storage flexibility |
If you have a bare or porous floor (concrete, terrazzo, porous stone, etc.), start with First Base as the base sealer. It fills pores, prevents surface dusting, and gives a stable substrate for topcoats.
For a high-gloss show finish in retail or showroom environments, 3D-Gloss is ideal. It gives a dazzling gloss, cures fast, and responds well to buffing equipment.
If your priority is durability, scratch resistance, and longer interval between recoats while maintaining a strong gloss, Tuff Gloss is your top pick. It offers advanced polymer technology and dual-action performance, so it can often outperform more conventional topcoats.
You can also mix and match: use First Base as your base layer, then finish with Tuff Gloss or 3D-Gloss depending on whether you prioritise durability (Tuff Gloss) or maximum gloss (3D-Gloss)
| Feature / Criteria | AGAR Tuff Gloss | Agar First Base | Agar 3D-Gloss |
|---|---|---|---|
| Role in floor sealing system | Primarily a top-coat / sealer-finish with high gloss, durability, and scratch resistance (dual-action polymer) | A base sealer / primer, applied directly to bare floor surfaces to fill porosity and improve adhesion | A top-coat / high-gloss finish polish, designed to be burnished for maximum visual impact |
| Gloss & Visual Appeal | Very high “wet-look” gloss off the mop, buffs up further, with good scratch repair | Clear, protective but moderate gloss—not intended as the final gloss | Super-glossy, dazzling surface; achieves peak gloss with minimal buffing |
| Durability / Scratch / Wear Resistance | High durability, strong scratch resistance, maintains gloss longer | Provides good adhesion and base protection but less durable as a standalone finish | High abrasion resistance, strong scratch repair, retains gloss in heavy traffic |
| Cure / Buff Response | Fast curing, designed for easy scratch repair and recoating | Sets quickly, intended as a base layer for other finishes | Very fast cure, excellent response to high-speed buffing equipment |
| pH (as supplied) | ~8.0 – 9.0 | ~7.5 – 9.5 | ~8.4 – 9.4 |
| Typical Coverage / Coats | Higher solids mean fewer coats are required (depending on surface) | Typically 1–2 base coats | Usually applied in 4–6 thin topcoats for best results |
| Slip / Safety Certification | Meets Australian slip standards when used correctly | Non-slip, clear base layer | Passes slip tests, mean dynamic coefficient ~0.70 (dry) |
| Best Use / Application Areas | Commercial and industrial floors with moderate to heavy foot or wheeled traffic; where both appearance and durability matter | As the foundation layer for concrete, terrazzo, timber, or vinyl before applying topcoats | High-visibility areas such as showrooms, supermarkets, and retail spaces |
| Advantages | – Fewer coats due to higher solids – Longer gloss retention – Strong durability and scratch repair | – Fills surface porosity – Improves adhesion – Fast drying and low odour | – Super glossy show finish – Fast buff response – Durable in high-traffic areas |
| Limitations / Notes | Works best over a proper base sealer (e.g., First Base) for maximum adhesion | Should not be used as the final finish in high-traffic areas | May require regular buffing to sustain maximum gloss |
