EPOXY

We recommend using epoxy flooring systems at the following facilities
  • hangars, warehouses, and warehouse complexes
  • logistics terminals
  • industrial facilities: energy, electronics, pharmaceuticals, chemical industry
  • laboratories with precision instruments and machinery
  • public service facilities
  • parking areas, garages, and parking structures
  • utility and service rooms in residential and industrial buildings
We do not recommend the use of epoxy flooring systems in the following cases
  • in clubs, restaurants, and bars
  • in residential and public spaces
  • in retail stores and entertainment centers
What are epoxy floors?
Self-leveling epoxy flooring is a type of polymer coating with a binder-based system, characterized by high adhesion to a concrete substrate. All variants of epoxy flooring systems and auxiliary materials (primers, putties, base coats, protective varnishes) are manufactured exclusively as two-component systems (epoxy resin and hardener).
The curing (polymerization) time of such floors is approximately 12 hours for foot traffic or for application of the next layer. Full curing, with the achievement of guaranteed performance properties, occurs within 7–14 days.
Epoxy floor coatings are widely used to protect surfaces against mechanical damage, aggressive environments, and dust formation. They are particularly relevant for facilities with increased sterility requirements and where accidental spills of technical or other liquids occur frequently.
Epoxy floors can be produced in glossy, matte, textured (anti-slip), decorative, and colored finishes. Variations in appearance are achieved through the use of different additives.
Types of epoxy floor coatings
  • Epoxy impregnation. Designed for concrete; penetrates to a depth of up to 2 mm, increases abrasion resistance, and provides effective dust suppression.
  • Thin-layer epoxy coating. Applied in a thickness of up to 0.8 mm. In appearance and performance, it resembles colored paint. Effective for flooring in large public and administrative buildings.
  • Self-leveling epoxy floor. The most popular type of epoxy flooring, with a thickness starting from 1.5 mm.
  • Quartz-filled epoxy floor. Installed with a quartz sand filler. Used in heavily loaded areas. For the creation of spark-free flooring systems, marble or dolomite sand is used instead of quartz.
  • Antistatic epoxy floors. Manufactured with integrated copper tapes that form a grounded conductive circuit.
  • Decorative epoxy floors. During installation, various colored and glittering elements are incorporated, such as chips, flakes, and glitter.

Types of epoxy floor coatings
  • The materials used for flooring systems are always two-component.
  • The use of special additives and components in the production of epoxy resins makes it possible to obtain specialized materials with exceptional properties and to improve the overall performance characteristics of self-leveling floors.
  • Walk-on time — approximately 24 hours after pouring. Full mechanical load — after 7 days
  • Chemical resistance under load — after 12 days
  • Water-based or solvent-based systems
  • Seamless coating
  • Smooth or textured surface
  • Wide color range
  • Easy and simple maintenance, allowing the use of any cleaning agents
Properties of Epoxy Polymer Flooring
  • Complete sealing of the concrete
  • 100% dust-free surface
  • High mechanical resistance
  • Resistant to a wide range of chemicals
  • Spark-free and intrinsically safe systems
  • Antistatic and electrically conductive systems
  • High adhesion of the coating to the substrate
  • High application speed
PRO INFO
  • We do not recommend the use of epoxy materials for flooring in residential premises due to concerns related to human health and safety. There are countries where restrictions on working with epoxy materials are in place, and there are countries where no restrictions exist at all regarding the use of epoxy coatings. We do not intend to dispute permissible concentration standards for hazardous substances in individual countries. However, based on our experience and the quality of information collected over many years, we can state with confidence that all epoxy resins have toxic effects not only through direct contact with liquid components, but also as a result of inhalation of fine dust particles generated during the subsequent use of these coatings.
  • We do not recommend the use of classic epoxy self-leveling floors in clubs, restaurants, bars, and branded retail stores, where the primary requirements are aesthetics and design concept. In other words, we assert that this type of coating, even when using so-called chips, flakes, or similar decorative additives, will never provide a sense of exclusivity or full satisfaction. Under this scenario, expectations will not be met. We will offer more suitable flooring solutions for your store or restaurant.
  • Epoxy flooring is a compound that is poured onto a perfectly level, strong, clean, and dry concrete substrate. Surface preparation and subsequent layer application must be carried out by professional specialists using dedicated equipment and tools. Attempts at self-installation often end very poorly, and remediation is costly. Even if you decide to save money, we still recommend obtaining a free consultation from us to increase your chances of success.
  • Self-leveling floors containing epoxy resin have low elasticity and are therefore suitable only for static substrates. Their installation is not recommended in facilities with high vibration, movement, or exposure to subzero temperatures. At the same time, the material has high density and excellent resistance to abrasive loads.
  • The thickness of an epoxy self-leveling floor depends on the expected loads and the function of the space. Based on these requirements, we calculate the exact material quantities for the future coating. There is no practical reason to install epoxy floors at a greater thickness than required by operating conditions. Doing so only increases material consumption (and therefore cost) without providing any improvement in performance characteristics.
  • Always verify the waterproofing and vapor barrier properties of the substrate before selecting a flooring system. In the case of epoxy flooring systems, the substrate must not absorb moisture or allow water transmission from adjacent areas, for example due to improper waterproofing. The rule is simple: epoxy and water are incompatible.
