Industrial Floor Coating

Epoxy Floor Coating for Industrial Facilities

When searching for a long-term solution to badly pitted, cracked and worn floors, epoxy mortar systems are typically the answer. 

Epoxy mortar systems offer an exceptional solution for rejuvenating worn-down industrial floors. They provide a robust and durable option to enhance the longevity and functionality of concrete surfaces. These systems, commonly known as epoxy flooring or epoxy floor coatings, involve the professional installation of a high-performance epoxy coating onto concrete floors. This results in a seamless and resilient finish that withstands heavy usage and various industrial challenges.

When industrial floors become worn and deteriorated over time due to constant foot traffic, heavy machinery, chemical exposure, and other factors, epoxy mortar flooring emerges as a superior industrial floor coating solution. Our epoxy coating’s unique formulation combines epoxy resins and aggregate materials to create a dense and impact-resistant surface, effectively revitalizing the concrete floor’s structural integrity.

The application process involves preparing the existing concrete floor with thorough cleaning and surface preparation, ensuring proper adhesion of the epoxy floor coating. Once applied, the epoxy mortar mixture is spread over the surface, filling in cracks, gaps, and imperfections in the concrete. This process not only reinforces the strength of the floor but also eliminates tripping hazards and creates a seamless, smooth surface that’s easy to clean and maintain.

Industrial Epoxy Floor Coating Systems Provide Several Key Advantages for Worn-Down Industrial Floors:

Durability

Epoxy coating forms a strong bond with the concrete floor, creating a highly durable and impact-resistant surface that can withstand heavy loads and mechanical stress. This is an exceptional solution for manufacturing facilities, warehouses, auto repair shops, heavy machinery environments, and just about any other industry who may have unique requirements.

Chemical Resistance

Epoxy floor coating offers excellent resistance to various harsh chemicals, oils, solvents, and other substances commonly encountered in industrial settings. This protects the underlying concrete floor from degradation and ensures a long lasting outcome.

Seamless Floors

A seamless finish is created by the epoxy system and prevents the accumulation of dust, dirt, and debris. This makes maintenance and cleaning a breeze, promoting a hygienic and safe working environment.

Aesthetic Appeal

Our epoxy flooring systems are available in a wide range of colors and finishes, allowing for customization to match the aesthetic requirements of your facility. This not only enhances the appearance of the floor, but also contributes to a more pleasant work environment.

Quick Installation

An epoxy flooring system can often be applied relatively quickly compared to other flooring solutions. This minimizes downtime and disruptions to your daily operations. This also means labor cost is minimized.

Super EMS Epoxy Mortar System Resin Rich 12,500 psi

Our Super EMS Mortar is installed by a screed box at 3/16” to ¼” and power-troweled to finish.  This resin rich system has a fill ratio of 11.9% : 1  resin to hardener vs a traditional resurfacer of 7.41:1.  A resin rich system will provide higher compression strength along with increased impact resistance. 

Abrasion Resistance

Choosing epoxy flooring will also greatly improve your floor’s abrasion resistance. Our system is less porous, providing a denser product with improved chemical resistance.  Traditionally our mortar is pigmented the primary color of the top-coats applied.

Epoxy flooring stands out as a highly effective choice for achieving exceptional abrasion resistance in v different environments. It is very popular in industrial settings where heavy traffic and constant wear are common challenges. These specialized flooring systems, are renowned for their ability to create a protective barrier that significantly enhances a floor’s ability to withstand abrasion and mechanical stress. Perfect for heavy duty flooring requirements.

When comparing epoxy flooring to other options such as bare concrete or polished concrete, the advantages of its abrasion resistance become evident. Bare concrete surfaces are susceptible to abrasion, especially in high-traffic areas, leading to the gradual deterioration of the surface and the release of dust particles. While polished concrete offers some level of durability, it does not match the level of protection provided by epoxy coatings in industrial environments with heavy, moving machinery and foot traffic.

Epoxy Flooring Systems Excel in Abrasion Resistance Due to Several Factors:

Seamless and Durable Coating

It creates a seamless and uniform layer that adheres tightly to the underlying substrate, be it concrete or another material. This cohesive bond forms a robust protective shield that minimizes the impact of abrasion from foot traffic, machinery, and other stresses.

Chemical Composition

Epoxy resins used in these flooring systems are inherently tough and resilient. When combined with other additives and aggregate materials, they form a composition that can effectively absorb and disperse the force generated by abrasion, rather than allowing it to weaken the surface.

Surface Hardness

Epoxy can be formulated to achieve specific levels of hardness, enabling them to resist wear and abrasion more effectively than untreated concrete. This property is especially crucial in industrial settings.

Customization and Reinforcement

Depending on the anticipated level of abrasion, epoxy flooring can be tailored to include additional layers of protective coatings or aggregate reinforcement. This customization enhances the flooring’s resilience and extends its lifespan, even in areas with intense abrasion.

Low Maintenance and Longevity

The seamless nature of epoxy floors makes them easy to clean, preventing dirt and debris accumulation that can contribute to abrasion over time. This low-maintenance aspect, combined with the durability of the epoxy coating, ensures a longer-lasting and visually appealing flooring solution.

In environments with heavy traffic, such as an industrial manufacturing plant, epoxy flooring’s resistance to abrasion is a crucial consideration. By opting for epoxy floor coating systems, you can effectively mitigate the impact of abrasion, extend the lifespan of your floors, reduce maintenance costs, and create safer, more efficient workspaces. The combination of seamless installation, advanced chemical composition, and customizability positions epoxy flooring as an excellent choice for achieving exceptional abrasion resistance in demanding environments.
