Epoxy is typically made up of two main components: 1) resin and 2) hardener. When they are mixed together, the chemical reaction forms a rigid plastic material that is strong and resistant to wear. It also bonds extremely well to most any surface. To install, epoxy floor coating contractors apply multiple layers of epoxy resin to the concrete substrate floor at different thicknesses.
Benefits of Epoxy Flooring and Concrete Coatings
Hard, durable flooring solutions for both commercial and high performance industrial floors, epoxy flooring and concrete coatings are ideal for use in warehouses, pharmaceutical manufacturing buildings, food and beverage plants, laboratories, industrial manufacturing facilities and others. An epoxy floor coating protects concrete floors, creates a high gloss, durable surface that solves most challenges of industrial environments, offering a variety of benefits:
Epoxy flooring is easy to clean, seamless and non-porous. Epoxy has no seams where bacteria and debris can accumulate and can be easily wiped free of dirt, dust and debris. Epoxy concrete floors withstand the extreme temperatures of wash-downs and steam cleaning.
Exceptionally durable and long-lasting. Epoxy flooring systems protect concrete substrate slabs, transforming them with a high performance surface resistant to moisture that will last for years to come.
Attractive and aesthetically pleasing. Epoxy dries to a high gloss shine and is available in a variety of colors, textures and applications such as solid colors and decorative additives that can beautify a variety of working environments.
Chemically resistant. Epoxy flooring and coatings protect concrete from aggressive chemicals, acids, alkalis and solvents that destroy the surface, the underlying materials and can even penetrate into ground water.
Improves safety in the workplace. Concrete floor epoxy ensures slip, impact, heat and fire resistance. In addition, high gloss floor coatings can also improve brightness in a work area by as much as 300 percent.
Withstands impact from high traffic. Use different colors and textures of epoxy flooring systems to define safety zones, foot traffic zones, forklift zones and work zones. Epoxy floors reduce wear on transport vehicles, allow for faster material movement, increase productivity and prevent wear and damage to the floor.
Environmentally friendly. Concrete epoxy flooring and finishes are considered safe, non-toxic building materials that provide an environmentally friendly flooring solution for companies interested in choosing “green”.
Quick, easy application. Because concrete epoxy flooring is self-leveling, installation specialists in high performance industrial flooring can apply an epoxy floor coating quickly over any new or existing concrete.
Affordable, cost efficient. Epoxy concrete flooring and finishes offer durable, hard wearing surfaces that quick to install, require little maintenance and last for years at a price that won’t break the construction budget.
Types of Epoxy Flooring
Epoxy Mortar – Ultra-tough and protective, epoxy mortar is the strongest of all epoxy floors available. The high-build, seamless system is a 100% solids epoxy combined with graded sand or quartz sand and troweled into place, providing high impact and chemical resistance and durability. It is also used effectively for repairing old floors
Self-Leveling – Self leveling epoxy is applied over new or old, cracked and damaged concrete floors to create a smooth, seamless, durable, low maintenance flooring surface. Ideal for use in manufacturing facilities, warehouses, showrooms, commercial garages, kitchens, aircraft hangars and athletic facilities among others, self-leveling epoxy flooring has aesthetic appeal, abrasion, chemical, heat and slip resistance and durability. Available in a variety of colors to create decorative flooring designs, or work zones.
Decorative – Mainly aesthetically pleasing in nature, decorative epoxy flooring also provides slip-resistance and durability and are easy to clean.
Quartz – Quartz epoxy flooring systems combine high performance epoxy polymer resin with blended color quartz granules, resulting in a multi-functional floor that provides decorative, sanitary, slip-resistant, exceptionally durable concrete floor surfaces that have style, strength and a long-lasting floor coating. Ideal for locker rooms, restrooms, schools, cafeterias, showrooms, light manufacturing, lobbies and offices, among others.
Epoxy Anti-Static – Anti-static epoxy flooring safeguards sensitive electronic equipment from damage due to electro-static charge (ESD) in static sensitive working environments such as those in electronics, chemical, even pharmaceutical and healthcare facilities. Anti-static flooring typically contains a conductive material that accumulates static electricity to drain or dissipate any potential static discharge and needs to be grounded or earthed. Anti-static flooring can also help in preventing explosions and fires when working with flammable material found in certain gases and liquids, helping to reduce the risk of costly damage to equipment and injury to personnel.
Epoxy Flake – Colored chips or flakes laid within the epoxy creates vibrant, multihued, seamless, resilient surfaces that are also durable and long lasting. The chips provide not only the pleasing palette of color and decoration, they also create a slightly rough surface that resists slips and falls. Ideal for use in commercial kitchens, locker rooms, sports venues, automotive showrooms, veterinarian clinics and laundromats among others and are available in an endless variety of color-styles, textures, sizes and blending options.
Metallic Epoxy – Metallic epoxy floor coatings create a high tech, exotic look for a floor, adding gloss, depth of color and visual effect. Some can even create a three-dimensional appearance that gives the illusion of craters, ripples and swirling rivers of metallic looking plasma. Ideal for retail, night clubs and showrooms among others, metallic epoxy is an exceptionally durable, long-lasting flooring system.
