Why Epoxy.com is the Best Choice for Swimming Pool

April 8, 2025

When it comes to maintaining or renovating swimming pools, the surface is one of the most important elements to consider. A durable, long-lasting coating not only enhances the pool’s appearance but also ensures it can withstand the constant exposure to water, chemicals, and harsh weather conditions. Epoxy.com offers a wide range of solutions, providing the best protection for swimming pool surfaces.

What Makes Epoxy.com the Ideal Choice for Pools?

Epoxy.com coatings are highly regarded in the pool industry for their superior durability and resistance to various environmental factors. Here’s why Epoxy.com is the go-to solution for swimming pools:

Chemical Resistance: Pools are constantly exposed to chemicals like chlorine, which can cause significant wear and tear on surfaces over time. Epoxy.com coatings are highly resistant to these chemicals, making them perfect for pool environments where chemical exposure is inevitable. This ensures the pool’s surface remains in excellent condition, reducing the need for frequent maintenance or resurfacing.

Water Resistance: Epoxy.com is naturally resistant to water, making it the ideal choice for pool surfaces that are submerged or constantly exposed to moisture. This water resistance prevents the growth of mold or mildew, which can damage the surface and negatively impact the pool’s hygiene.

• Durability: Epoxy.com coatings provide a hard, long-lasting surface that can withstand heavy foot traffic, pool equipment, and even pets. This high durability makes Epoxy.com the preferred choice for both residential and commercial swimming pools, especially those in high-use areas.

• Easy Maintenance: With Epoxy.com coatings, pool owners can enjoy the convenience of easy cleaning and maintenance. The smooth surface prevents dirt, algae, and debris from accumulating, making it easier to clean and maintain the pool over time. This also reduces the frequency of pool resurfacing, saving both time and money.

• Aesthetic Appeal: Epoxy.com coatings provide a glossy, attractive finish that enhances the appearance of any pool. With a variety of color and texture options, Epoxy.com can be customized to fit the style and aesthetic preferences of pool owners. The high gloss finish also reflects light, adding to the pool’s visual appeal.

Epoxy.com’s Pool Solutions

At Epoxy.com, we offer products that ensure the highest quality and performance for pool surfaces. Below are some of the key products in our range:

Product #12 Primer: Product #12 is an essential primer for preparing pool surfaces before applying coatings. It ensures proper adhesion to concrete, plaster, and other pool materials, creating a strong foundation for subsequent layers.

Product #1 Epoxy Coating: Product #1 is a versatile, high-performance coating excellent for pool surfaces. It provides a durable, waterproof barrier that protects against the harsh chemicals and constant exposure to water, keeping your pool looking fresh and new.

Product #2 Epoxy Coating: Product #2 is formulated for applications requiring an even higher chemical resistance than Product #1. This product is ideal for pools like community pools that experience heavy use, providing additional protection from abrasion and chemicals.

The Application Process

Applying Epoxy.com’s pool products is a straightforward process that can be done by professionals or DIY enthusiasts, depending on the project size. Here’s a general overview of the application process:

1. Preparation: Clean and prep the pool surface, ensuring it is free of dirt, algae, oils, and other contaminants. Sanding or grinding the surface may be necessary to ensure proper adhesion. See surface preparation for more details.

2. Primer Application: Apply Product #12 Primer to the prepared surface, ensuring a solid base layer for the coating.

3. Coating: After the primer has dried, apply either Product #1 or Product #2 coating in even layers. Allow each coat to cure before applying additional layers if necessary.

4. Curing: Allow the coatings to cure completely before filling the pool with water.

Conclusion

Epoxy.com products are the perfect choice for swimming pool surfaces, offering unparalleled durability, chemical resistance, and aesthetic appeal.

Protecting Sulfuric Acid Storage and Processing Areas with Epoxy.com Product #633

February 18, 2025

Sulfuric acid is one of the most aggressive and widely used industrial chemicals. It is vital to industries like chemical processing, battery manufacturing, metal treatment, and water treatment plants. However, sulfuric acid storage tanks, containment areas, and processing zones face constant threats from acid spills, splashes, and chemical vapors, which can rapidly corrode concrete and steel surfaces.

Facilities that handle sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) require a high-performance chemical-resistant coating to prevent substrate deterioration, ensure environmental compliance, and protect worker safety.

This is where Epoxy.com Product #633 Novolac Epoxy Coating excels.

Why Sulfuric Acid is So Destructive

Sulfuric acid is extremely corrosive and reacts aggressively with:

Concrete – Dissolving calcium hydroxide, weakening the slab.

Steel – Accelerating rust and structural degradation.

Grouts & Mortars – Leading to surface erosion and joint failures.

Even diluted sulfuric acid (e.g., battery acid) can cause permanent surface damage if not contained properly.

Epoxy.com Product #633: Built for Sulfuric Acid Protection

Epoxy.com Product #633 is a 100% solids Novolac epoxy coating engineered specifically for chemical containment areas exposed to strong acids like sulfuric acid. It forms an impermeable, highly chemical-resistant barrier, making it ideal for:

✔ Sulfuric Acid Storage Tanks & Secondary Containment

✔ Chemical Processing Floors

✔ Battery Charging Areas

✔ Drainage Systems Handling Acidic Waste

✔ Acid Leak Containment Trenches

Key Benefits of Epoxy.com Product #633

1. Superior Acid Resistance

Novolac epoxy chemistry offers outstanding resistance to concentrated sulfuric acid, including solutions up to 98% concentration.

This prevents surface erosion and chemical penetration, ensuring long-term protection even in constant exposure environments.

2. Long-Term Durability

• Protects Concrete & Steel from both splash exposure and chemical immersion.

• Abrasion-resistant surface holds up under forklift traffic, chemical drums, and industrial equipment.

• Prevents cracks and degradation often seen with standard epoxy coatings when exposed to acid attacks.

3. Seamless & Non-Porous Surface

Product #633 creates a seamless protective layer that seals the substrate.

This prevents acid infiltration into underlying concrete, which can lead to subsurface corrosion and costly structural repairs.

4. Easy Application Over Concrete and Steel

Product #633 can be applied to new or existing floors, including:

✔ Concrete containment areas

✔ Steel tank bases

✔ Repairing acid-damaged surfaces

Recommended System for Sulfuric Acid Environment

Step 1: Surface Preparation

• Concrete: Shot-blast or diamond grind to create a clean, rough surface.

• Steel: Sandblast to SSPC-SP10 near-white metal finish.

See more details

Step 2: Priming

Apply Epoxy.com Product #12 or Product #899 Epoxy Primer to seal the substrate and enhance adhesion.

Step 3: Application of Epoxy.com Product #633

• First Coat: Roll or squeegee at 160-200 sq. ft. per gallon.

• Second Coat: Repeat application to build chemical-resistant thickness (total thickness: 16-20 mils).

Optional: Broadcast Aggregate for Slip Resistance

For areas with heavy traffic or wet conditions, broadcast silica sand or aluminum oxide into the first coat for enhanced traction.

Real-World Applications

Epoxy.com Product #633 is trusted in:

• Battery Manufacturing Plants – Protecting floors from battery acid leaks.

• Water Treatment Facilities – Shielding containment areas from sulfuric acid dosing systems.

• Metal Finishing Plants – Protecting work areas where acid baths are common.

Compliance & Safety

Product #633 is designed to meet regulatory requirements for chemical containment in:

• EPA Secondary Containment (40 CFR 264.175)

• USDA Accepted for Use in Food Plants

Proper containment with acid-resistant coatings also reduces liability risks and ensures compliance with hazardous materials regulations.

Protect Your Facility from Sulfuric Acid Damage

Don’t let sulfuric acid spills eat away at your facility’s infrastructure.

Epoxy.com Product #633 provides the chemical resistance you need to safeguard your operations and reduce costly repairs.
