Machine Shop Floors – Durable, Easy-to-Clean, and Anti-Skid Solutions

January 30, 2025

customer recently asked:

“I have a machine shop floor that has been exposed to oil for years. I need an anti-skid surface that’s easy to clean, resistant to cutting oils and antifreeze, and environmentally friendly.”

We’ve tackled this exact challenge many times, and the process is similar to what we do for mechanic shop floors. Follow these steps to achieve a long-lasting, high-performance epoxy coating:

Step 1: Surface Preparation

Proper preparation is crucial for a successful epoxy application. Follow the guidelines here: Surface Prep Guide.

Step 2: Apply Oil Stop Primer

  • Mix and apply Epoxy.com Product #201 (Product Info) to all oil-saturated or potentially contaminated areas.
  • Coverage: 200-300 sq. ft. per gallon.
  • Allow it to harden, then check the bond (see “Checking the Bond” below).
  • If any areas show poor adhesion, repeat surface prep and reapply. Otherwise, move to Step 3 within 24 hours.

Step 3: Apply Base Coat

  • Mix and apply Epoxy.com Product #899 (Product Info) at 250-300 sq. ft. per gallon.
  • Allow it to cure hard before proceeding (within 24 hours).

Step 4: Apply First Coat of Epoxy with Optional Anti-Skid Additive

  • Mix and apply Epoxy.com Product #2 (Product Info) at 160-200 sq. ft. per gallon using a brush or roller.
  • For added slip resistance, mix in Epoxy.com Anti-Skid Aggregate (Anti-Skid Info) at 12-16 oz. per gallon of epoxy before application.
  • Allow to cure hard before proceeding (within 24 hours).

Step 5: Apply Second Coat of Epoxy with Optional Anti-Skid Additive

  • Repeat the application of Epoxy.com Product #2 at 160-200 sq. ft. per gallon for the final protective layer.
  • Again, mix in the Anti-Skid Additive (if using) at 12-16 oz. per gallon before applying.
  • Cure time:
    • Light traffic – 24 hours at 70°F.
    • Heavy use – 48 hours.

Checking the Bond

Ensuring proper adhesion is key. Here’s a simple test:

  • Use the corner of a putty knife or screwdriver to try and lift the epoxy from the concrete.
  • If the coating peels off cleanly without pulling concrete, the bond is weak and requires additional surface prep.
  • If concrete comes off with the coating, you have a solid bond, and the application is successful.

By following these steps, you’ll achieve a durable, chemical-resistant, and slip-resistant epoxy floor that can withstand the demands of a machine shop environment.

How to Protect Your Surfaces During Winter with Epoxy Coatings and Aliphatic Urethane Protection

January 19, 2025

Winter weather can cause significant damage to outdoor surfaces, whether from snow, ice, salt, or freezing temperatures. Surfaces like driveways, patios, and garages are particularly vulnerable, and without proper protection, you could face cracking, staining, or erosion over time.

Why Winter Can Damage Your Surfaces

Winter combines several destructive elements:

        •        Cracking: Repeated freeze-thaw cycles cause materials to expand and contract, leading to cracks.

        •        Staining: De-icing salts and chemicals leave unsightly marks on concrete and stone.

        •        Erosion: Snowmelt mixed with salt wears down surfaces, reducing their lifespan.

These challenges make it crucial to apply a protective barrier before winter hits.

How Epoxy Coatings Provide Winter Protection

Epoxy coatings from Epoxy.com act as a powerful shield, offering:

        •        Durability: Withstand freezing temperatures, heavy snow, and frequent vehicle or foot traffic.
