Epoxy Floor Coating

Features:

DESCRIPTION:

Ezeflor (EP) epoxy flooring systems are exceptionally hard wearing floor toppings with outstanding adhesion, chemical resistance, compressive and flexural strength. They provide a long lasting, non-dusting, seamless surface which is easy to clean and maintain.

Ezeflor (EP) levels out holes and imperfections in the base floor  which facilitates movements of forklifts, pallet trucks and trolleys and also prevents further deterioration of the substrate.

SELECTION:

SURFACE PREPARATION:

The surface on which the floor coating is to be applied should be freed from all traces of dirt, grease and impurities. Commonly used surface preparation techniques include dust free sand/grit blasting, high pressure power washing, flame blasting, concrete scarifying, wet scouring, wire brushing, etc. Allow the surface to be totally dry before application. On metallic surfaces, remove all traces of rust to conform to Sa 2.5 on the Swedish de-rusting scale.

APPLICATION:

Base Coat:

Second Coat:

Depending on the desired thickness of floor coating required, the various components are selected as per Table l. For floor coatings below 0.5 mm thickness the components are mixed thoroughly and applied by brush or roller. The desired thickness per coat is obtained by controlling the quantity of material that is spread per unit area.

In the case of self- leveling floors, application is done by saw toothed trowel. The mixture is poured in strips over the surface and then spread evenly with the trowel. Marks left by the trowel are eliminated by going over the trowelled material with a spiked plastic roller.

For epoxy mortar screeds, the liquid epoxy components are first mixed thoroughly and then filler aggregates AG1 01 are slowly mixed into it. The mixture is laid over the base coat before it gels using normal brick layer's tools. Mortar screeds are usually laid in strips. Battens laid alongside the strips help to ensure the required thickness and level. As soon as the screed is laid on both sides of the batten, they are pulled forward and the space that is left is filled with more of the same mortar.

Third Coat:

A third final coating is usually applied to give a good, even finish. If antiskid properties are required then AG 101 particles are sprinkled when the final coating is still wet and excess particles are swept away after the layer is cured.
