High-Performance Coatings

Answering an industry call for coatings that could adapt to ever-changing job site conditions, Kretus Group Inc.® was founded in 2007. Our mission has been to create high-performance coatings that meet contractors' varying requirements for each client's specific needs.
The name Kretus is derived from the Latin word for concrete, which is concretus, meaning compact or condensed. Based out of Southern California, we design coatings with contractors in mind and end users at heart.
Innovation began when our lab team developed the first of our mix-and-match modular systems: Top Shelf® Epoxy. By swapping one hardener for another, installers could adjust an epoxy's cure time and durability. Following its success in the field, our lab techs went to work formulating four more modular product lines to give skilled installers more flexibility and control on the job. And client satisfaction to boot!
Partnering with reliable raw material suppliers ensures that we can provide a high-quality product at a low cost. As a family-owned company, we're focused on building long-lasting relationships. By offering technical training classes, bimonthly Q&A sessions with our technical director, and on-the-job assistance, we strive to give contractors every opportunity to make their next installation a success

Acrylics
KRETUS® Acrylic Polymer Concrete is a durable, cost-effective, and low-maintenance system ideal for new construction and restoration projects. KRETUS® Acrylic Admix is a high-solids acrylic co-polymer hybrid that will increase the strength, flexibility, and adhesion of KRETUS® cementitious systems
KRETUS® Acrylic Primers provide an invisible layer of protection against moisture. Great for restoration projects and new construction, KRETUS® Treatment primes chalky or soft substrates and helps maintain concrete's color. KRETUS® Bonder-Resin excels as a flexible primer and as a binder for erosion control
KRETUS® Acrylic Sealers are UV resistant copolymer blends that provide durable clear and translucent finishes for concrete, wood, and masonry. WB (water-borne) Acrylic Sealers offer a long wet-edge and include opaque finishes. SB (Solvent-Borne) Acrylic Sealers have excellent adhesion and are fast drying and easy to recoat
Anti-Slip Granules
KRETUS® Anti-Slip and other surface texture granules increase abrasion and skid resistance. Textures can be incorporated into any KRETUS® System
Cleaning Products
To keep your floor or finish operating at peak performance, use KRETUS® Coating Cleaner, KRETUS® Power Cleaner, or KRETUS® Solvent Cleaner
Epoxies
Mix and match KRETUS Top Shelf® Epoxy components to meet your installation needs. Our 100% solids, two-component system can be adapted for changing environmental conditions. Mix any Top Shelf® resin with any Top Shelf® hardener to vary epoxy's cure time, chemical resistance, mil thickness, moisture vapor resistance, and more
Now available in fc (fast cure) and ez (slow cure)! formerly known as "ez patch," this 2-component, 100% solids system works as a durable, moisture vapor resistant solution for rough and uneven surfaces, including non-glazed ceramic tiles and concrete, or as a bonder for prefabricated cove
Skilled applicators may combine TOP SHELF® EPOXY ACCELERANT with TOP SHELF® EPOXY or TOP SHELF® EPOXY EZ PATCH to speed working and cure times. Times vary based on hardener selection, surrounding temperatures, and how many ounces of accelerant added per standard kit.
KRETUS® WB Epoxy is an economical, user-friendly, two-component, water-borne system. This product is an excellent primer for use under other thin mil coatings and performs well as an interior sealer
