7. PROCESS OF LAYING EPOXY
• Shot blasting
• Grinding
• Patching
• Epoxy primer
• Epoxy colour flake
• Chemical
resistance top coat
• 3d paper
• Transparent coat
8. SHOT BLASTING
o Shot-
blasting:
o The floor is
shot-blasting
to create a
smooth
surface.
o For the epoxy
penetrate
deep in to the
concrete
surface.
9. GRINDING
• Grinding: All
hard to reach
areas are
diamond
grinded to
expose fresh,
clean concrete
ensuring a good
bond between
the epoxy and
the concrete.
Any cracks or
uneven surfaces
are grinded
smooth to
reduce visibility
10. PATCHING
• Crack, divots
and holes are
patched using
the highest
quality
polymer-
modified
patching
compound and
grinded
smooth.
11. EPOXY 3D PRIMER
• A two-part
100% solids
penetrating
epoxy primer
is the first
layer of epoxy
applied. This
clear epoxy
primer
saturates and
penetrates
deep into the
open pores of
the concrete
creating a
powerful
mechanical
and chemical
bond that is
guaranteed not
to break.
12. CHEMICAL RESISTANT TOP COAT
• Top-Coat: On
the final day,
the floor is
scraped and
brushed smooth
to remove
excess flake
before the top-
coat is applied.
The two-part
chemical and
abrasion
resistant clear-
coat gives the
"granite look"
floor its
durability and
shine.
18. CONCLUSION
• Epoxy is a material that
acts as a sealant for
concrete floors. Epoxy
coatings can be used on
floors for commercial
buildings, walkways, even
on walls or ceilings at
times, and most commonly
on garage floors. Many
facilities that have already
experienced the benefits of
epoxy flooring are
commercial or industrial
buildings such as
manufacturing plants,
warehouses,
pharmaceutical buildings,
food or beverage plants,
even laboratories.
