Product Rate-Of-Use Information
All Coatings are normally measured and
calculated in "Mil
Thickness", (thousands of an inch)
Formulas For Calculating Coatings Consumption
(This must assume that the surface to be
coated is flat and smooth)
There are 1,604 sq. ft., 1 mil thick, in a US gallon of any liquid.
1,604 divided by mil thickness (desired)=sq.
ft. Coverage
1,604 divided by sq. ft. Coverage (desired)
=mil thickness
Use these formulas to calculate any coating
project Or use our ready reference charts below.
