Epoxy resin coatings are extremely robust and durable. They are based on a two-component epoxy resin which is abrasion, shock and chemical resistent. It is ideal for industrial, commercial, and private use as it has a smooth, easy-to-clean surface. The coatings can be applied in production facilities, warehouses, shops and stores, offices, garages as well as in hygiene-sensitive areas, such as hospitals, industrial kitchens, and the pharmaceutical industry. Thanks to its versatility and adaptability, epoxy resin coatings are an ideal solution when you need robust, low-maintenance floor and wall coatings.
Epoxy resin floors are found in many different areas: in industry, warehouses, the food processing industry, clean rooms, the pharmaceutical industry, retail, showrooms, industrial kitchens, the hotel and catering sector, and many more.
Epoxy resin is the main component of the coating. It is a thermal plastic polymer consisting of epoxy resin groups. The hardener is the second essential component of an epoxy resin coating. It reacts chemically with epoxy resin in order to solidify the resin and transform it into a solid, stable state. Alongside the main components, epoxy resin coatings may also contain various added materials and fillers to improve or adapt specific features like colour, slip resistance, plasticizer resistance, UV-stabilizers
How much does epoxy resin coating cost?
The costs of having epoxy resin floors applied professionally in a commercial or industrial space are between €15 and €500/m². The exact price depends on many different factors: the condition and preparation of the substrate, the sealing, the chemical, thermal and mechanical requirements, the installation of drainage and concave fillets, working hours (e.g. night or weekend shifts), the standard-compliant design, cleanroom suitability, the desired certification as well as the warranty period and documentation. It is therefore difficult to quote a flat-rate price as the costs vary greatly depending on the project and the requirements.
How long does it take to apply epoxy resin coating?
Applying an epoxy floor coating usually takes 3 to 12 days, depending on the type of coating and the respective project requirements. Careful planning and preparation can expedite the process and guarantee that the project runs smoothly. The exact duration depends on various factors such as the type of coating, the size of the area, the on-site conditions, and the specific requirements. To keep downtime at a minimum, it makes sense to work during production runs or during production-free hours, i.e. at night or at weekends – a practical solution.
