What is Epoxy?
Epoxy is made up of mainly two parts – a resin and a hardener. Which then mixed at the right proportions creating a chemical reaction that forms a strong, rigid plastic material, immune to wear and tear. It also bonds remarkably well to virtually any surface.
Epoxy flooring is composed of various layers of epoxy resin administered to the substrate floor. The different types of epoxy are applied at different depths to produce distinctive results.
The benefits of epoxy floor coatings can be seen instantaneously. Once the epoxy sets, it protects the surface from wear and tear, enhances slip and chemical resistance, improves aesthetics, and makes cleaning easy.
Surface Preparation for Epoxy Floor Coatings.
The prerequisites for good adhesion of the coating are cleanliness, roughness and dryness of the surface. Unless these are ensured by proper surface preparation, a successful performance can not be guaranteed.
The degree of dampness of the surface must be less than 4%. Iron and steel surfaces must be free from rust, scale, dust, grease and other impurities which can prevent adhesion. The best surface pre-treatment is through sandblasting to Sa 21/2.
In the case of concrete surfaces, they should be free from laitance and dust by sandblasting. If sandblasting is not possible, use thorough abrading with a hard wire brush, although it is not as efficient.
Alternatively, carry out acid etching using 1 part Hydrochloric acid with 2 parts water.
Brush-apply the solution liberally over the surface and leave it in contact for 15 minutes. Wash it off with plenty of water and then properly dry it with hot water.
The normal curing period for epoxy floor coatings is between 5 to 8 days, and normally thickness is around 200 microns after two coats.
Once the epoxy flooring resin sets it offers excellent chemical and heat resistance with extremely low shrinkage.
