  1. EP Floors Corp. How to Prevent Pitfalls When Buying Epoxy Flooring

  2. Here are some of the most common reasons: • Epoxy flooring and industrial flooring have many features that can greatly enhance your facility, and provide an excellent return on the investment.  However, sometimes there can be problems with the results, when purchasing epoxy floor coating systems. • Inferior Surface Preparation • Weak Substrate • Wet or damp substrate. • No Primer • Mechanical Loading Exceeds Strength of Coatings

  3. Inferior Surface Preparation Ensure that the water vapor emission level, from the concrete, is below 3 lbs per square foot.

  4. Subtrate too Weak When the epoxy floor system is removed, concrete should be adhered to the bottom of the epoxy.

  5. Incompatible Substrate Make sure the substrate is compatible for epoxies both in terms of adhesion as well as tensile strength. Wood, metal, & tile surfaces must be carefully inspected, and determined suitable for adhesion and structural integrity, prior to overlaying.

  6. Oil Saturated Concrete If the building/area has had various uses, over the years, check the history.  Problems can occur in old concrete which come back to haunt the new owner/tenant (for example: former companies that performed machining operations, may have contaminated the concrete with oils. 

  7. Incorrect Mixing This can cause a multitude of problems with curing of the floor:   Faulty resin/hardener ratios, too short mixing time, improper mixing of components.
