What is Industrial Epoxy?

Industrial epoxy is a versatile and durable coating that provides both protection and aesthetic appeal to concrete surfaces. It is commonly used in industrial settings due to its ability to withstand heavy traffic, chemicals, and other harsh conditions.

One of the key characteristics of industrial epoxy is its ability to create a seamless and smooth surface. This is achieved through a multi-step application process that involves the use of epoxy resin and a hardener. The resin and hardener are mixed together, causing a chemical reaction that results in a hard and durable coating. This coating is then applied to the concrete surface and allowed to cure, creating a strong bond that can withstand heavy loads and resist damage.

Installation Process

To begin the installation process of industrial epoxy flooring, our professional and trained crew carefully prepares the concrete surface to ensure optimal adhesion and longevity of the coating. We thoroughly clean the concrete by removing any dirt, debris, or previous coatings. This is done using industrial-grade cleaning equipment and specialized cleaning solutions. Next, we inspect the surface for any cracks, chips, or unevenness. If any are found, we repair them using high-quality concrete fillers and patching compounds. This step is crucial to ensure a smooth and even surface for the epoxy coating.

Heavy Duty Epoxy Flooring

When it comes to heavy duty industrial environments, nothing provides the level of protection and durability needed quite like a high-quality epoxy flooring system. Industrial spaces are prone to heavy foot traffic, impact from machinery, chemical spills, and extreme temperatures. A robust epoxy flooring system can withstand these harsh conditions and ensure the longevity of the floor.

Epoxy Floor Coating for Different Industries

When it comes to epoxy floor coating for different industries, there are several key sectors that can benefit from this durable and protective solution.

1. Warehouses and Distribution Centers

Warehouses and distribution centers rely on the durability and protective properties of epoxy floor coatings to ensure the longevity and functionality of their concrete surfaces. These coatings are resistant to chemicals, oils, stains, and abrasions, making them ideal for the demanding environments of warehouses and distribution centers. The smooth and seamless nature of epoxy coatings also facilitates easy cleaning and maintenance, ensuring a hygienic and safe working environment.

2. Chemical and Pharmaceutical Plants

Chemical and pharmaceutical plants greatly benefit from the application of epoxy floor coatings due to their exceptional chemical resistance, durability, and ease of maintenance. These industries deal with a wide range of corrosive chemicals and substances, making it crucial to have a flooring system that can withstand such harsh conditions.

3. Manufacturing Plants

With their exceptional durability, chemical resistance, and easy maintenance, epoxy coatings are ideal for manufacturing plants that deal with heavy machinery, chemicals, and high foot traffic. Industries such as automotive manufacturing, electronics production, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and aerospace manufacturing can greatly benefit from epoxy floor coatings. The seamless and non-porous surface of epoxy coatings prevents the accumulation of dust, dirt, and bacteria, making them a hygienic choice for industries that require strict cleanliness standards.

4. Food Processing Facilities

Food processing facilities require the use of epoxy floor coatings to ensure a hygienic, durable, and easily maintainable surface. These facilities have strict cleanliness standards to prevent contamination and ensure the safety of the processed food.

5. Automotive and Aviation Hangars

Automotive and aviation hangars require the application of epoxy floor coatings to ensure a durable and high-performing surface for their specific industry needs. These hangars are subjected to heavy equipment, vehicle traffic, and potentially corrosive substances, making it essential to have a reliable flooring system in place.

6. Garages and Workshops

Garages and workshops across various industries benefit greatly from the application of epoxy floor coatings, providing a durable and high-performance surface for their specific needs. Epoxy garage floor coatings are designed to resist heavy vehicle traffic, moisture, oil, and gas. This makes them ideal for home mechanics and hobbyists who require a strong and long-lasting surface. The epoxy coating protects against oil and gas stains, moisture, and abrasion, ensuring that the garage floor remains clean and attractive. With minimal care and regular cleaning, epoxy garage floor coatings can last 15 to 20 years

Types of Epoxy Floor Coatings

When it comes to epoxy floor coatings, there are several types to consider. Solvent-based epoxies are known for their durability and resistance to chemicals and abrasion. Water-based epoxies, on the other hand, are more environmentally friendly and have a quicker drying time. High-performance epoxies are designed for heavy-duty industrial applications where maximum strength and durability are required.

1. Solvent-based epoxies

Solvent-based epoxies are a widely-used type of epoxy floor coatings due to their excellent durability and chemical resistance, although proper ventilation is necessary during application due to their strong odors. These epoxies are composed of a resin and a solvent, which helps in the application process by reducing viscosity and allowing for easier spreading. The solvents evaporate during the curing process, leaving behind a hard and durable coating. Solvent-based epoxies are known for their resistance to chemicals, such as oils, acids, and solvents, making them suitable for industrial settings where exposure to harsh substances is common.

2. Water-based epoxies

Water-based epoxies offer a more environmentally friendly alternative to solvent-based epoxies, with lower VOCs and reduced odors during application. These coatings are composed of water as the primary solvent, instead of solvents that release high levels of VOCs into the air. By using water as a solvent, the environmental impact is significantly reduced. Water-based epoxies also have a lower odor during application, making them more suitable for indoor use where strong odors can be a concern. They are easy to clean and maintain, making them a popular choice for various applications, including commercial and industrial settings.

3. High-performance epoxies

High-performance epoxies are specifically designed to meet the demands of challenging environments, offering exceptional strength, chemical resistance, and temperature resistance. These specialized epoxy floor coatings are formulated to withstand the harshest conditions and provide long-lasting protection. They are commonly used in industrial settings such as manufacturing plants, warehouses, and chemical processing facilities, where high traffic, heavy machinery, and exposure to corrosive substances are common.

4. Decorative epoxies

When it comes to epoxy floor coatings, there are various types available, including decorative epoxies that offer both aesthetic appeal and functionality. Decorative epoxies are a popular choice for commercial and residential spaces where the visual aspect of the floor is important. These coatings are designed to enhance the appearance of the floor by incorporating decorative elements such as colors, patterns, and textures. They are resistant to stains, moisture, and damage, making them an ideal choice for high-traffic areas. Overall, decorative epoxies offer a versatile and attractive flooring solution for a wide range of applications.
