Epoxy coating

           

                     During the last thirty years, the protection of concrete floors has gone  from essentially nothing to a fairly sophisticated process of some type  of protective coating or surfacing. The main purpose, of course is to  provide protection to the slab from deterioration or contamination, or  to provide some added benefit such as aesthetics, wear, non-skid,  chemical resistance, ease of maintenance, physical performance, and a  myriad of other properties. We must remember that no other surface in a  building takes more abuse than floors, regardless of the type of  building, whether it be industrial or commercial.

There are thousands of formulations for various polymer coatings for  concrete. Each one is different from the next one. Epoxies and  polyurethanes are the most commonly used polymers. Epoxy formulations used in concrete floor coatings typically are  100% non-volatile (no solvent), have excellent adhesion, good to  excellent chemical and abrasion resistance, and excellent mechanical  properties. Applications include bonding adhesives, crack repair,  concrete coatings, toppings, and overlays.
