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?

• 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.
