Why are Industrial-Grade Resin Coatings Essential for Everyday Living? | Xtreme Polishing Systems

K. G. • Sep 12, 2018

Floors are something to which we don’t pay enough attention unless something extremely drastic is wrong with them. However, they are an essential part of our consistent workday productivity and safety. You may want to consider an alternative flooring option for your facility and its potential impact. One of these options is a decorative epoxy floor coating application.

What are Epoxy Coatings?

​​Epoxy coatings  are adhesive  resin coatings  susceptible to reactions with other chemicals. When applying an  ​epoxy coating , it is mixed with a hardening agent that creates an extremely strong and adhesive resistance to weathering and wear and tear due to harsh chemicals. It is almost impossible to separate two agents that have been bound together by  ​epoxy coatings. That makes this  industrial-grade resin  a super durable, serviceable, and stable  surface coating  option.  ​Epoxy coatings  act as a sealant for  concrete floors  and can be used on commercial floors, walkways, and most common residential flooring, and garage floors. This resilient  building material  can also be used on countertop surfaces, tabletops, and bartop applications. So many facilities have already experienced the magnificent benefits of  epoxy flooring , including commercial and industrial buildings such as manufacturing plants, warehouses, pharmaceutical buildings, laboratories, and food or beverage plants facilities.

​Advantages of Epoxy Coatings:

  1. ​ Durability:  Concrete floors coated in  epoxy  last longer and resist considerable wear, thus saving you money and allowing you to manage other business concerns.
  2. Brightness: Typically, a high gloss option for  coatings  can be provided, which improves lighting in your facility to a significant degree due to reflection.
  3. Strength: Once the  epoxy  has been converted to a solid polymer, it becomes incredibly strong and prevents chemical breakdown.
  4. Saves time:  Epoxy  flooring is usually quickly and easily installed, which means less time shutting down production for installation.
  5. Low maintenance cleaning: Once the concrete has the  epoxy coating , it is no longer porous since sealed and is, therefore, easier to clean.
  6. Aesthetic:  Coatings  are usually available in an array of colors and patterns to fit your specific style.
  7. Chemically resistant:  Epoxy coatings  can survive continued exposure to potent chemicals, which is perfect for warehouses or plants that may be exposed to such materials.
  8. Safety: These  coatings  are also resistant to slippage, temperature, extreme impact, and even fire, maintaining both the safety of your employees and your building.
  9. Lowers vehicle maintenance: Choosing an  epoxy coating  can also reduce wear on vehicles in your facility because it is more forgiving on machinery.
  10. Helps the environment: Lastly,  epoxy coatings  are a green option for your business because of the reduction in material usage. It’s an excellent alternative to adding on a completely new floor or replacing vehicles due to damage.

Does my Garage Floor Need an Epoxy Moisture Vapor Barrier? | Xtreme Polishing Systems

By K. G. • 07 Sep, 2021
Typically, an epoxy moisture vapor barrier is unnecessary. Properly constructed garages that are at or above grade will have a stone base under the concrete slab. So, moisture vapor emission rates (MVER) will be very low. Garages that are below grade or located in geography that has high water tables may have a high MVER, but often the issues can be mitigated by leaving the control joints …
