Epoxy systems create a coating on the concrete surface, the thickness of the coating depends on the type of system used to coat the floor.
Most epoxy floor coatings are two-part mixes and must be applied quickly after mixing.
Not recommended for floors that are subject to hydrostatic pressure. Water vapor or moisture may be trapped between the concrete and epoxy coating and may cause blistering and delamination.
Epoxy sealers must not be applied to previously sealed or painted surfaces unless previous coatings are completely removed.
Concrete must be free of all contamination to assure proper bond
Epoxies may be subject to UV discoloration and not generally recommended for areas that receive direct sunlight.
Epoxy coatings are available in clear or pigmented colors.
Various colors may be applied to same floor, allowing decorative possibilities such as striping, safety zones, and directional markings.
Decorative colored chips can be added to enhance decorative look and to camouflage surface dirt.
Epoxies provide excellent protection against staining, water, and chlorine intrusion.
No additional polishes or waxes are required to maintain shine.
Available in solvent-based and water-based formulas.
Epoxy coatings provide excellent abrasion resistance.
Curing times for epoxy coatings depend on the type of epoxy used and the ambient temperature during curing process.
