- 12. Surface Preparation •Removal of dust • Removal of paint, plaster, adhesive residues • Scarifying the surface Precaution:- 1. If any crack or joint present on substrate it must be open up & fill with epoxy material. 2. New slab must be cured for 14 days.
- 14. Priming Of Surface • All substrates going to receive coat must be primed with primer • No. of primer coats depends upon condition & porosity of substrate Precaution:- All surface should be dust free.
- 16. Mixing • Allcomponent materials of coat are mixed • Mixing should be done for 1 min by using forced action • Electric stirrer should be used for mixing Precaution:- Use adequate ventilation, respirators and Protective gloves.
- 18. Application • Properlymixed material is then placed on primed substrate without delay • Use trowels & rollers for application Precaution:- Do not over roll the surface.
- 20. Clean up •When the job is over all equipments must be clean up by using thinner. • The residual epoxy on workers skin must be washed out. Precaution:-Use industrial skin clear for epoxy. Clean or dispose contaminated clothes properly.

- 22. Efficiency • Jointless flooring • Provides more clean and hygienic condition • 5-6 mm thick PU flooring has same bearing strength as concrete • Saves manpower and time efficiently.
- 23. Advantages • Longlasting surface • Very low maintenance cost • Very much resistant to hard wearing, abrasion • Resistant to a wide chemicals & liquids • Seamless-easily cleaned to maintain high standards of hygiene • Much suitable in food & drinks production environment
- 24. Disadvantages • Highinitial cost. For ex. Depending upon thickness (mm) cost is 700 Rs./Sq. Mt to 2000 Rs/sq. Mt • Require skilled labor and guidance.
- 25. Conclusion • Epoxyflooring is a modern technique. • It can be prove more reliable than conventional flooring. • It has wide range of scope in Indian industries. • More research has to be made so that to make it much affordable.
