Epoxy flooring is a great way to make any surface durable and easy to clean. Epoxy floor coating is a two-part mixture of resins and hardeners that protects, and updates concrete floors. Learn more about epoxy flooring here.

Multiple layers of epoxy are put on
the floor to make unique and long-
lasting finishes.
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.

3. 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).

▹ 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

6. HOW TO DO EPOXY FLOORING?

7. ▹ 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.

10. ▹ 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.
10

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 3–7 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.
