Advantages of using Epoxy Floor Coating - Buildcare waterproofing

Advantages of using Epoxy Floor Coating - Buildcare waterproofing:

Epoxy floor coatings are commonly used for commercial and industrial flooring. Epoxy coatings are normally applied over concrete floors to provide a smooth, and durable surface that can last many years and withstand heavy loads. When properly cured, epoxy flooring offers good chemical and heat resistant and extremely low shrinkage. Many industrial sites, warehouses, and commercial buildings rely on epoxy floors to maintain clean and safe conditions for workers, equipment, and inventory. Epoxy flooring is not only used in commercial and industrial sectors, but Epoxy resin floor kits are also used in private households. This is mainly due to its unique appearance and easy processing.

Epoxy floor coatings offer many advantages when compared to other traditional coatings applied over concrete:

• Durable and easy to clean
• Resists oil stains and water
• Can be combined with paints and colours to mask off chips and cracks
• Creates a shiny high-gloss surface that can significantly increase the brightness of interior area
• Prevents wear and tear on existing concrete floors
• Offers a hard-wearing durable surface able to withstand heavy and continuous traffic
• Creates a seamless surface that can last many years
• Requires little or no major maintenance
• Ideal for warehouses and industrial applications
• Quick and easy to install, requiring no layout, cutting additional adhesives, or special tools or equipment
• Offers enhanced safety when the surface contains anti-slip additives
• Can be applied in different patterns to create visible driveways and/or identify walkable areas
• Provides a chemically resistant surface ideal for manufacturing plants.
  
  
  Epoxy also known as polyepoxite is produced by the bonding of two compounds, the epoxide which is the resin and polyamine which is the hardener. The result of the mixture is a tough sealant that is resistive to chemical absorption. Epoxy flooring may be generally defined as several layers of any type of epoxy resin that is applied on a floor surface. The applied epoxy on the flooring should have a minimum of 2mm in thickness. Other uses of epoxy are in industrial tooling, electrical systems, marine application and aerospace industry.
