Epoxy floor coating is a type of industrial flooring created from a mixture of epoxy resin and hardener. When these two components are combined, they undergo a chemical reaction that forms a hard, durable, wear-resistant, chemical-resistant, waterproof, and easy-to-clean coating layer.
🔧 Basic Structure of Epoxy Floor Coating
-
Concrete base: The original floor surface, usually new concrete or pre-treated.
-
Epoxy primer: Enhances adhesion between the concrete and the coating layer.
-
Epoxy topcoat (1 or 2 layers): The final finish layer, determining the color, gloss, and functional features of the floor.
