Epoxy floorings and its advantages

Generally used in the form of adhesives, epoxy resin is mixed with polyamine hardener to provide stability to the surfaces it is applied on. It also seals any damage present in the existing surface and gives a new endurance to that surface. Some of the benefits of epoxy flooring are:

Easy maintenance:

· Wiping off an epoxy coated surface is much easier than concrete. 

· Dust, germs, salt, or grime; nothing adheres to the resin material making cleaning a simple and effective process. 

· It can be cleaned with basic ingredients such as a cleaning liquid or detergent and water. 

· We should avoid use of acidic products for cleaning an epoxy surface as it will reduce its shine over a period of time. 

Cost effective:

· Initial cost of installing epoxy coated flooring is high. 

· However, it reduces a lot of subsequent repair and maintenance cost. 

· The epoxy surface increases the life of a floor and also easily seals any cracks or damages. 

Shock, heat, and chemical resistance:

· It can be easily used for any surface that bears constant chemical or heat shocks such as a garage. 

· It is tough and resistant to high amplitude shocks including heavy machinery. Nothing leaves marks of wear and tear on an epoxy surface. 

· Epoxy can resist approximately 200 degree Fahrenheit of temperature effectively. 

· Phosphorus containing epoxy resins are even more heat resistant making them an excellent material for industrial floorings. 

· Resin coating also prevents harmful chemical from leaking and damaging the underneath concrete surface. 

Enhanced safety and strength:

· The chances of slipping on an epoxy floor are fairly less. 

· It increases visibility and increase illumination as well. 

· The increased lighting in a room keeps you safe at night.
