What is Epoxy Flooring?
Epoxy is a word that refers to a mixture of hardeners and resins. When these ingredients are combined, they produce a chemical reaction. When this reaction hardens, a stiff plastic substance made up of closely connected cross-polymer structures is formed. This material adheres well to most base layers, resulting in a tough and long-lasting floor.
Epoxy coating is the application of liquid epoxy over the concrete surface of the floor. After then, this liquid hardens and resulting in a smooth and long-lasting floor. Concrete’s porous nature helps epoxy coating to have firm bond with the base layer. This in results makes the concrete surface more durable with smooth epoxy finish.
