Benefits For Applying Epoxy Floor Coating

By Dominique Martin


A strong adhesive that is usually used is an epoxy. It is basically two epoxy resin materials that are mixed together to make it functional. These epoxy resins is a term that was taken from an epoxide functional group. These are polymers that are polyepoxides.

There are many uses for this material which includes application on metal coatings, insulators, electrical parts, structural adhesives, and some plastic materials. But they are also common used at home for Ohio epoxy floor coating for garages. This is to prevent the floor wearing out because of the friction from the tires of the care and other objects. This is applied on pre treated cement floor.

One of the first reasons why a lot of industrial companies and garage owners use this for their flooring is because of it being seamless and easier to clean off dirt, dust, or any other debris. They can be wiped off easily which is the reason why food, pharmaceutical, packaging, and bottling factories utilize this. It makes maintenance of cleanliness faster and more convenient.

Because of the luster of the floor and its surface, it gives an aesthetic feel and look which makes the atmosphere of the room more vibrant. Although it entirely depends on the owner how they wish to design the material, but it conveniently has different colors that can be made into patterns or combinations, or even logos. The material is attractive and highly durable.

Another reason why owners would opt for this is due to it being chemically resistant. Owners of manufacturing factories, warehouses, and industrial plants, have used this in order to protect their floors from any hazardous chemicals that may come in contact as well as easily cleaning them up because of the nature of its surface. It basically resists impact, heat, fire, and slip.

The material may also be used for signages and designs for the floors of warehouses in order to designate each zone. Whether they are for traffic areas, work zones, or safety zones. Unlike paint, they do not wear down easily which makes it completely more efficient against abrasion and friction from various surface contacts.

Because of it being durable and highly resistant to wear and tear, investing on the material can produce savings from other expenses meant for maintenance and use of the mentioned utilizations. This is also environmentally friendly, which gives an advantage to the establishment due to eco friendly campaigns being promoted for all manufacturing companies that are dealing with harsh materials and chemicals.

Installation for this epoxy on floors would have failures or mistakes if not properly done. A lot of factors ensue like the primer of the floor is very poor, so it should be shot blasted or grinded first. Other things that needs to be checked if it is dry, clean, dust free, no causes of humidity near or under the ground, which means no dripping pipes or taps nearby.

Another set of reasons that may cause failure would be if the substrate is weak or if there is no primer or applying the wrong kind. A possibility of having the wrong kind of elasticity for the resin would be a factor, due to the surface expanding and the resin not being able to keep up with it and ends up breaking. Contaminated floors would also be a cause of this if they are not properly cleaned before application.
