Epoxy coating starts out as a dry powder produced by combining organic epoxy resins with curing agents, pigments, fillers, and flow control agents. During heating, the powder melts and the constituents react to form complex cross-linked polymers. These coatings are environmentally friendly materials and unlike many paints, the fusion-bonded epoxy coatings used for steel reinforcement do not contain environmentally hazardous substances. Very little material is lost to the atmosphere during the coating process.
Epoxy floors are harder and more durable than concrete, deliver ease of cleaning and aesthetic choices for beautiful floor. These floor coatings have become a popular choice to transform oil stained garage into a living space resistant to all auto fluids.
