How to Apply Epoxy.com Coatings on Industrial Floors

Follow these steps to ensure a successful application:

Step 1: Prepare the Surface

Preparation is critical for achieving a strong bond:

        •        Clean the floor: Remove dirt, grease, and previous coatings using a degreaser or industrial cleaner.

        •        Repair damage: Fill in any cracks, holes, or uneven areas with a epoxy.com patching compound.

        •        Etch or grind the surface: Use a floor grinder or etching solution to create a rough texture for the epoxy to adhere to.

Step 2: Apply a Primer

        •        Use an appropriate Epoxy.com primer to enhance adhesion and provide a smooth base for the epoxy coating.

        •        Allow the primer to dry completely before proceeding.

Step 3: Mix and Apply the Epoxy

        1.        Mix the components: Combine the resin and hardener in the recommended ratio and mix thoroughly.

        2.        Apply the coating:

        •        Use a roller or squeegee to spread the epoxy evenly across the floor.

        •        Work in sections to ensure consistent coverage.

        3.        Optional: Add anti-slip additives or decorative flakes for added safety and style.

Step 4: Allow for Curing

        •        Let the epoxy cure for at least 24–48 hours before light use and 72 hours for heavy equipment.

        •        Ensure the environment is dust-free during the curing process to maintain a smooth finish.

Pro Tips for Industrial Epoxy Applications

        •        Temperature Control: Apply epoxy when temperatures are between 60°F and 85°F for optimal curing.

        •        Plan for Downtime: Allocate enough time for preparation, application, and curing to avoid disrupting operations.

        •        Use the Right Tools: High-quality rollers, squeegees, and mixing tools ensure an even, professional finish.

Secondary Chemical Containment

February 7, 2017

You can easily build containment in the middle of an existing slab

Building a secondary containment structure in the middle of an existing facility is very common and effective way to protect the facility structurally as well as protect the environment.  It is very easy to do.  Here is how:

  1. Grind the area where the curb will go to bare concrete – www.epoxy.com/surfaceprep.aspx.
  2. Drill holes into the concrete and fasten #4 bar into the concrete with Epoxy.com Product #2006 – www.epoxy.com/2006.aspx – Gel Adhesive. Allow Epoxy to cure overnight.
  3. Form the area to receive concrete curb.
  4. Coat the floor area in the bottom of the forms to receive the concrete for the curb with Epoxy.com Product #2007 – https://www.epoxy.com/Epoxy_Fresh_Concrete_to_Hardened_Concrete_2007.aspx – Wet to dry concrete adhesive. Pour your concrete before the #2007 becomes tack free. That will make it as if the curb and the concrete floor had been poured at the same time.
    1. An alternate method to this is to install concrete brick around the area bonding in place with Product #2006. This will help to reduce waiting for the concrete to cure if you use the poured concrete method above.
  5. Allow the concrete to cure – www.epoxy.comsurfaceprep.aspx.
  6. Cove the inside of the containment curb with Epoxy.com Product #720 – https://www.epoxy.com/720.aspx – coving resin allow to cure overnight.
  7. Prime the inside of the containment area with Epoxy.com Product #12– www.epoxy.com/12.aspx  – Chemical Resistant Primer, and allow to cure overnight.
  8. Install 2 coats of Epoxy.com Product #633 – www.epoxy.com/633.aspx – Chemical Resistant Novolac Epoxy Coating.

Summary

Doing an effective job of building secondary is easier than you may think. For more information visit our website at http://www.epoxy.com, call our technical support department at 352-533-2167 or email us at info@epoxy.com.
