The New Standard for True White Countertops

APEX is a next-generation countertop coating system from Stone Coat Countertops, engineered for bright, high-end stone and marble looks with better color confidence, clarity, durability, and long-term performance.

APEX is not epoxy. It is made with aliphatic polyaspartic technology and designed to be poured thick to mimic the depth and movement of natural stone while resisting yellowing, even in direct sunlight. The complete APEX system includes a primer, white dye, countertop coating, and finishing spray, with each component engineered to work together for beauty, durability, and long-term color stability.

APEX also has its own workflow. It moves less than epoxy, gels quicker, uses no-torch bubble control, and requires disciplined timing during application. It is built specifically for true whites and light-colored countertop designs, giving customers more control and confidence when creating bright surfaces.

For years, yellowing has been one of the biggest limitations of epoxy countertop coatings. APEX was engineered to move beyond it and redefine what’s possible.

APEX Polyaspartic Countertop Coating is an industry-leading UV-stable formula specifically designed to preserve true whites and resist the discoloration traditionally associated with epoxy countertop coatings.

Yes. APEX can be installed over existing countertops, including existing epoxy countertops, as long as the surface is solid, stable, and properly prepared.

APEX Poly Fuse Countertop Primer is engineered to bond to a variety of surfaces, including laminate, tile, cultured marble, granite, metal, MDF, existing epoxy, and new builds. Each surface may require a different prep path, so follow the approved prep system for the specific countertop you are coating.

Do not apply APEX over failing substrates, loose material, peeling coatings, or surfaces that are not structurally sound. Solid and properly prepared is the rule.

No. APEX is a no-torch workflow.

Epoxy often uses a torch to help release bubbles and manipulate the surface, but APEX is designed to work differently. Do not use a torch on APEX. Torching APEX will lower the working time and affect the cured finish. Instead, use APEX Surface Control Finishing Spray during the approved wet working window.

APEX Polyaspartic Countertop Coating has a shelf life of 18 months when stored unopened in its original, sealed container. For best results, store the product in a cool, dry, dark environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ideal storage temperatures are 60°F–80°F (16°C–27°C).

Once opened, APEX should be considered a short-window product and used as soon as possible. Even when containers are tightly resealed, exposure to humidity can begin to affect the material and may lead to crystallization or reduced performance. Depending on storage conditions and humidity levels, opened product may remain usable for approximately 1–2 weeks, although our recommendation is to use it within a few days whenever possible.

Before using previously opened material on a project, always perform a small test mix and application to verify freshness and proper curing. If the product appears thickened, crystallized, discolored, or does not mix and cure normally, discontinue use and replace with fresh material to ensure the best possible finish and performance.

No. APEX expands the Stone Coat portfolio of countertop solutions rather than replacing existing products. Our Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy kits remain an excellent choice for artistic stone looks, dramatic veining, metallic effects, and a wide range of custom countertop designs. APEX was specifically engineered for projects where preserving brilliant whites and light-colored aesthetics is the priority.
