TOP 5 GOLDEN TIPS FOR EPOXY FLOOR COATING APPLICATION – ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE FOR EVERYONE!

Preparing to apply epoxy coatings to your factory, basement, garage, or showroom? Don't overlook these 5 crucial points to ensure a beautiful, durable, and non-peeling finish that lasts for months

✅ 1. Avoid Application on Damp Floors

  • Excessive moisture is the number one cause of epoxy coating failure! Ensure the floor moisture content is below 5% and allow at least 28 days of curing time for new concrete.

✅ 2. Meticulous Surface Preparation is Key

  • Thorough grinding, creating a profile, dust removal, and careful repair of any cracks will promote strong adhesion, a smooth finish, and an aesthetically pleasing result.

✅ 3. Mix Coatings Accurately – Respect the Pot Life

  • Epoxy coatings consist of two components (A + B). Incorrect mixing will lead to product failure! Remember: you only have a 20–40 minute pot life after mixing to apply the coating before it hardens.

✅ 4. Don't Skip the Primer!

  • The primer layer is the "adhesion key" between the substrate and the topcoat. Applying each layer according to the correct procedure ensures long-term durability.

✅ 5. The Application Environment is Critical

  • Ideal temperature: 18–30°C (64–86°F), relative humidity below 85%. Strong winds, dust, and rain are all detrimental to epoxy coating application.

Master these 5 essential tips, and you'll be 80% of the way to a perfect epoxy floor!
