Industrial Epoxy Flooring Indianapolis

The process will always begin with the repair of all imperfections that are found on the existing concrete slab. These imperfections include but are not limited to cracks, gouges, and stains. We use an epoxy crack filler to repair all cracks and gouges and all stains are lifted before the next process can begin. After the crack fill has dried, we begin profiling the concrete slab. We do this one of two ways. The most common method of concrete profiling is the use of a grinder equipped with a diamond wheel attachment or we use a shot blaster, it all depends on what type of area and concrete we are working with. Both methods of profiling are extremely efficient and are used to secure a tight mechanical bond between the formulated industrial epoxy floor and the concrete slab. After the concrete slab has been profiled, a quick and thorough inspection is completed to make sure the concrete slab is clean and all imperfections are repaired before the actual application of industrial epoxy.

An industrial epoxy flooring system is a 100 percent solid epoxy system, this system is actually the strongest system of all. The 100 percent solid epoxy system is composed of two elements, the epoxy resin, and a urethane hardener. The magic happens when the two elements are mixed together though, usually in a five-gallon bucket. When the two are mixed, the process called curing begins, the curing process is what makes the industrial epoxy flooring system so strong and chemical resistant. The curing process cannot be stopped or stalled so installation of the industrial epoxy floor coating must be done with urgency or materials will be wasted or the flooring will not turn out as planned. Once the flooring has set for at least 24 hours, it will be cured enough to accept foot traffic and once 72 hours have passed, the floor will be fully cured in its plastic like state for well over 20 years, sometimes even 30 years!
