Waterborne epoxy floor coatings are becoming a trend

Epoxy floor coatings are widely used in modern construction, including airport and road construction. Among them, the epoxy resin floor coating with the most outstanding comprehensive performance is particularly prominent. With the increasing demand for environmental protection, this product is characterized by water-based development, so the entire floor coating shows a trend of water-based epoxidation.

Modern industry has put forward increasingly strict requirements for flooring, such as food, pharmaceutical and other industries requiring flooring to not be dusty. No harmful volatile substances, clean and non sitting; The mechanical industry requires resistance to strong mechanical impacts, wear resistance, and the ability to withstand long-term rolling from forklifts and other vehicles. Even if there is partial damage, it is easy to repair; The floors of industrial workshops such as machine tools and instruments are often subject to various types of oil erosion and leakage, making it difficult to completely remove. It is required that the floors have good oil resistance; The chemical industry requires flooring to be able to withstand corrosion from various chemical media. In addition, modern civilized workshops and home floors should be flat, bright, and colorful, creating a good working and living environment for people. With the rapid development of coating technology, the existence of floor coatings has become necessary and inevitable. According to experts, floor coatings based on epoxy resin have always been the dominant choice due to differences in material properties.

Traditional solvent based floor coatings and solvent-free floor coatings have excellent basic performance. However, there are many volatile solvents present, which pose varying degrees of harm to human health and the environment. In addition, traditional solvent based coatings have very dense paint films and poor breathability. When applied to surfaces with heavy underground moisture, it is easy to experience phenomena such as blistering, peeling, and detachment of the paint film. Such examples are not uncommon. Compared with solvent based epoxy resin coatings, water-based epoxy resin coatings have a microporous structure in the paint film, which allows water vapor to penetrate but liquids cannot, and can release the gas pressure inside the cement, fundamentally solving the problem of blistering in the paint film. So the development of floor coatings towards waterborne epoxy resin has become an inevitable trend. Jinfeng epoxy flooring experts say that epoxy flooring coatings have excellent adhesion to various substrates such as concrete and low curing shrinkage rate; Has good chemical properties such as water resistance, oil resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and salt spray corrosion resistance; Simultaneously possessing excellent physical characteristics such as wear resistance, stamping resistance, and washability; It is not easy to crack during use and is easy to rinse and maintain. Epoxy floor coatings play an important role in the industrial floor industry. It is an ideal long-term floor coating variety for modern industry.
