What is Epoxy Paint? & How To Do It?

First of all, the most important feature of epoxy is that it is resistant to chemical layers and oils. Also epoxy coating; looks aesthetic and does not contain solvent. It has a very good resistance to abrasion, impact and friction. If the purpose of use of the epoxy used in many areas is decoration, there is a greater variety of products. It has many advantages in terms of ease of use, especially since it is very easy to clean and contains aggregate material, we can say that it is a non-slip floor. Epoxy generally; It is used to obtain a decorative appearance by protecting it to form a particulate coating on concrete floors. Epoxy is a robust and useful product due to its chemical properties. Due to these features and the convenience of use, it is preferred more and more every day.

Multilayer Epoxy

This epoxy type is also known as orange peel coating in the markets. It is an epoxy type that is frequently applied in factories and workshops. Work vehicles can easily navigate on it, such as forklifts and pallet trucks. It is especially resistant to heavy loads. This epoxy floor is non-slip due to its orange peel pattern, that is, it is somewhat serrated. This epoxy floor is easy to clean like other epoxy varieties. It does not hold dust. It is often preferred in the factories where it is manufactured, as it has an intense material flow. It is resistant to impact and has high chemical resistance. It does not deteriorate easily with cleaning materials. It does not matter whether the floor on which the Multilayer Epoxy Coating will be used is new or old, it can also be used on old floors. We only need to fix the old floors, first of all, for their abrasion and by filling the holes, if any.

Epoxy materials are a type of coating that has completely chemical properties. Quickly provides an advantage. Multilayer Epoxy Usage Areas are mostly preferred in pharmaceutical factories, workshops, food production facilities, stores, hospitals, power plants, textile workshops, automotive sector and all warehouse-style places. Epoxy coating can be applied in the desired color, mostly gray tones are preferred. Gray color is more preferred in facilities that attach importance to cleanliness and aesthetics, such as hospitals. Epoxy materials are the first to be the resin and the role of the resin is present in the most effective way. Another of the Epoxy Materials is hardeners. The main material is the auxiliary material of the resin, it plays an important role in the transition from liquid to solid and finally filling materials are among the epoxy materials.

Self Leveling Epoxy

It is flat and smooth in terms of application and appearance. It provides a more aesthetic and decorative appearance. This epoxy also has high chemical and impact resistance. It can be made in the desired color. It can be easily cleaned and hygienic. It is applied thicker than Multilayer and therefore has anti-static properties.

Self Leveling Epoxy can be cleaned much more easily than other epoxy types, which provides a more hygienic environment. It is non-porous because it is smooth. This prevents dirt from getting between them and is dirt-free. For this reason, self leveling epoxy application is mostly preferred in the health and food sector. Self Leveling Epoxy application can be used on new floors as well as on old worn floors. It is a type of smooth, smooth and shiny floor covering. In addition to being easy to clean, they are particularly sensitive to cuts and are smooth, so the cuts can be visible when viewed. In addition, if the floor is left wet in very crowded environments, there is a possibility of slipping and falling, which can be disadvantageous. Its chemical resistance is high, so cleaning products do not damage its structure. Self leveling practice takes 3 to 4 days. In order to get high efficiency, at least 24 hours should pass after the last layer.

Epoxy Coating

It is an economical epoxy type in areas where medium light loads are usually carried. It is an easy and fast application type. It can walk on pallet trucks, but may not be as efficient as multilayer epoxy in the long run. It can be used on continuously wet and oily floors and can be preferred in industrial sites and auto services. It is easy to clean and applied quickly, it is preferred with its aesthetic appearance. It provides a hygienic area and is dust and dirt-repellent. It does not allow dirt to enter into the concrete, it is very easy to clean. Impact and chemical resistance is normal. 

Epoxy coating is applied on worn and pitted old floors and new floors. Its cost is lower than others. Because there is less material consumption. It is applied quickly and in a short time, at least 24 hours should pass over the last layer. It is used on all kinds of industrial floors, as well as on floors where light loads pass. It is applied in desired colors. But especially gray tones are preferred.

Multilayer Epoxy Floor Coating Features

It is in the medium thickness class, it has a semi-rough orange peel patterned surface.

There are also fully rough structures. It is dust-proof and waterproof

It has medium resistance to friction and impacts.

It is easy to clean and easy to apply, easy to maintain and repair. Thickness varies between 2mm-5mm according to preference.

Mortar Epoxy

This epoxy type is in the high thickness class. It is generally used in places subject to heavy traffic and heavy industrial areas. Their surfaces are fully rough and semi-rough and flat surfaced. It is dust-proof and waterproof. It is easy to clean, its application is made fast, its maintenance and repair is very easy. Their thickness ranges from 4mm to 10mm, they are made according to preference and usage areas.

Epoxy Anti-Static

Epoxy antistatic coating is a floor covering that is very easy to clean and repels dust and dirt. Durability resistance is medium. As for its properties, it does not contain volatile organic matter, since it is a water-based system. There is no harm to health. It can be applied without intermediate paste and joints. It is resistant to light and medium vehicle and human circulation and is highly preferred due to its non-slip feature. It is easy to clean and provides high resistance to chemical cleaning agents and abrasion. It can be used in low temperatures, damp and wet concrete floors. Since there may be steam originating from water in hot areas, vapor permeability is high, so it is not affected by moisture and moisture in the concrete infrastructure. They have high heat and temperature resistance and they are U.V resistant. Areas of use are operating rooms, computer rooms due to its heat resistance, production floors of electronic devices, television studios, radiology and rooms with large machines, floors with high static electricity, which are more preferred places with epoxy antistatic coating system. is used. It is used in decorative areas. The subject of how to make epoxy is carried out by providing planned and scheduled work areas provided by expert employees developed by epoxy manufacturers and according to the needs and areas of use of people. Epoxy paint can be used on many floors, tables and decorative products.
