finishes.
WHAT IS EPOXY FLOORING? Epoxy flooring is
becoming more and more popular as a way to cover
industrial floors in workshops, garages,
manufacturing plants, aircraft hangars, and other
places. There are many choices for epoxy
flooring, which makes it easy to make a floor
coating that fits different levels of traffic.
You can also get flooring epoxy in different
finishes to make the floor look the way you want
it to while still making it durable and resistant
to chemicals.

Epoxy Flooring
  • Simply put, epoxy flooring is when you put
    several layers of epoxy on your floor. Most of
    the time, the material comes in two parts a
    resin and a hardener. When the two are mixed
    together, they make a clear, strong material.
    When the parts were put together, they hardened
    into this material. Curing is a process that
    involves either a chemical reaction or a physical
    action. Polymerization is an example of a
    chemical reaction, and evaporation is an example
    of a physical action. When these things happen, a
    stronger bond or substance is made (such as the
    result of mixing materials to make concrete).

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF
EPOXY FLOORING?

This is a slide title
  • Epoxy flooring can be made to fit your needs and
    has a unique finish, but it also has a lot of
    other benefits. These things are
  • Resistance to chemicals
  • Can't be scratched
  • UV Resistance
  • Impact Resistance
  • Very Strong
  • Better Stickiness

HOW TO DO EPOXY FLOORING?
7
  • Preparation is very important for epoxy flooring.
  • If you don't follow the rules to stick epoxy
    flooring, you could end up with a finish that is
    discoloured, peels off, or the whole application
    process could fail. If you're not sure how epoxy
    flooring will work with your base flooring, you
    should always test the material on a small
    section of the floor first.
  • If your concrete has holes or cracks, you can use
    an angle grinder to make them bigger. By opening
    them up, you can get rid of any loose dirt and
    get them ready for patching.

  • At the end of the day, it's important to make
    sure your concrete surface is both level and
    patched. Since epoxy flooring is liquid, it can
    seep into any cracks or holes that aren't filled.
  • To get your concrete floor ready for epoxy, we
    recommend either shot blasting or diamond
    grinding. Before application, the surface of the
    concrete should feel like 50-grit sandpaper.
    Before you move on, use a vacuum or compressed
    air to get rid of all the dust and other things
    on your surface.

  • Time to Prime
  • Before putting down epoxy flooring, it's a good
    idea to use a thin layer of some kind of
    moisture-sealing epoxy primer.
  • Measure and Mix
  • Choosing the right flooring epoxy depends on a
    lot of things, like what kind of finish you want.
    There are clear ones that can be coloured with
    dyes and pigments, and there are also ones that
    come in specific colours to match the look you
    want.

  • Depending on the product, the mixing and
    measuring steps will be different.
  • Some things won't work as well once they're
    spread out on the ready-mixed concrete floor, so
    you don't want to keep the mixture in the bucket
    for too long.
  • Spread strips of properly mixed and coloured
    epoxy flooring along the edges of your room.

11
  • After you've taken care of the edges, pour the
    material and spread it evenly with a trowel or
    squeegee.
  • Then, roll the epoxy backwards to smooth it out.
    At this stage, non-skid aggregates can be added
    to make the surface less likely to slip.
  • You may want to put more than one coat on your
    floor. If so, you should wait the amount of time
    recommended by the product before applying more.
    Usually, this is when you can feel that the first
    coat is dry.

12
  • Epoxy Floor Drying Times
  • All of the brands and types of epoxy flooring do
    not have the same curing time. Also, cure times
    are sometimes split up based on the type of
    traffic the road is trying to handle.
  • So, after 24 hours, one product might be ready
    for light foot traffic, 72 hours for light
    vehicle traffic, and 37 days for a full cure.
  • The best way to figure out how long an epoxy
    floor will take to cure is to pay attention to
    what each product needs.

13
  • How to Clean Floors Made of Epoxy
  • If you want to know how to clean epoxy flooring,
    the only thing you really need to watch out for
    are cleaning products that are very acidic.
  • Using things like isopropyl and acetone on the
    epoxy can eventually wear it down. Most of the
    time, all you need is warm water, mild soap, and
    detergent.
