Epoxy Types
Epoxies have become a generic term for many types of resin flooring systems. They are known for their adhesive qualities and have been used for many years. Epoxy is the fully cured result of two components or resins that have been mixed. It’s used for crack repair, primer systems, and final top coats for floors and surfaces. Floor epoxy can be clear or come in a vast assortment of colors. Epoxies are often used as the bond coat for subsequent top coats of similar material or higher abrasion and chemical resistance, such as Polyurethane or Polyaspartic coatings. An epoxy primer coat can be a “%” solids or water-based. Usually, for thicker applications, 100% solid epoxy is suitable because of its ability to cure fast and its absolute strength.

Why Epoxy Floors?
Epoxy floor coatings are a popular choice for industrial plants because of their durability, chemical resistance, and ease of maintenance. Epoxy is a thermosetting polymer applied as a coating to concrete or other surfaces to create a hard, durable, and seamless surface resistant to impact, abrasion, and chemicals.
The installation process typically involves preparing the surface, which may include grinding, shot blasting, or acid etching, to create a rough surface that will allow the epoxy to adhere better. The surface is then cleaned, and a primer coat is applied to help the epoxy adhere better. The final step is to apply the epoxy coatings, and this can be done in a single coat or multiple coats, depending on the requirement.
Epoxy floor coatings come in various colors and can be customized to meet the specific needs of an industrial plant. They can also be designed to include anti-slip properties and other safety features to enhance the plant’s safety.
Epoxy floor coatings are easy to clean and maintain and resistant to most chemicals, making them ideal for use in industrial environments. They also have a long lifespan and are resistant to fading, cracking, and chipping.
It’s important to use a professional service provider like Recoveron Industrial for the installation of epoxy floor coatings, as they have the proper equipment, knowledge, and experience to complete the job safely and effectively.
