Industrial Epoxy Flooring Systems

Epoxy floor coatings transform bare concrete into durable, chemical-resistant, and aesthetically pleasing surfaces suited for industrial and commercial environments.

Benefits of Epoxy Flooring

  • Chemical resistance: Withstands spills of oils, solvents, and acids
  • Abrasion resistance: Handles heavy foot and vehicle traffic
  • Easy maintenance: Seamless surface prevents dirt accumulation
  • Safety: Available in anti-slip finishes
  • Aesthetics: Wide range of colors and finishes

Types of Epoxy Floor Systems

  1. Self-levelling epoxy: Smooth, seamless finish for light to medium traffic
  2. Epoxy mortar: High-build system for heavy-duty industrial use
  3. Epoxy flake: Decorative finish with broadcast flakes
  4. Epoxy quartz: Broadcast quartz aggregate for heavy traffic and anti-slip
  5. ESD epoxy: Electrostatic discharge control for electronics facilities

Application Process

  1. Surface preparation by diamond grinding or shot-blasting
  2. Application of epoxy primer coat
  3. Installation of body coat(s) with optional broadcast
  4. Application of seal coat for chemical and UV resistance
  5. Curing period (typically 5-7 days before full traffic)

Maintenance Tips

  • Regular sweeping and mopping with pH-neutral cleaner
  • Avoid dragging heavy objects without protection
  • Re-coat high-traffic areas every 5-7 years
  • Address any chips or damage promptly
