Analysis of Waterproof Principle of Waterborne Epoxy Flooring

Water based epoxy flooring is mainly used in areas with high waterproof requirements for the ground, such as the electronics industry that requires moisture resistance, and pharmaceutical, food, chemical workshops that require waterproof treatment for flooring. During the construction of waterproof flooring, it is mainly divided into water-based epoxy flooring primer, topcoat, intermediate coat, and water-based topcoat, which are very different from the construction of general oily flooring. The construction requirements are much stricter

Water based epoxy flooring not only has good water resistance, but also has properties such as wear resistance, impact resistance, acid resistance, and alkali resistance. It is a truly environmentally friendly flooring coating that is easy to clean, non-toxic, and harmless. It is the preferred coating for underground parking lot and other flooring construction. After being soaked in water for a long time, ordinary flooring will appear white, peeling, powdering and other phenomena, and waterproof epoxy flooring can make up for these shortcomings of the flooring

So, why do water-based epoxy flooring sometimes have water bubbles?

This is due to the difference in solvents, generally divided into oil-based and water-based. Oily floor paint will form a relatively thin film after construction, and the residual water vapor in the floor will rise. Although there is a certain adhesive force between the topcoat film and the topcoat, when the pressure of the water vapor exceeds this adhesive force, the topcoat film will protrude upwards, forming bubbles one by one; However, if water is used as the solvent, this phenomenon can be avoided. After the construction is completed, the water vapor inside will slowly evaporate, and after evaporation, the inside will be relatively dry, which can greatly reduce the pressure of water vapor. However, it should be noted that the entire surface must not be damaged. If cutting is indeed necessary, strict treatment must be carried out after the construction is completed
