Epoxy floor coatings

The word “Epoxy” refers to epoxy resins or polyepoxides that are reactive polymers. Epoxy resins react with a wide range of co-reactants or hardeners to give resultant paints that offer a high level of chemical resistance, durability, low porosity and strong bonds. These coatings can be used over concrete subfloors or serve as a protective layer against heat, chemical, and impact.

Polyurethane floor paint

Polyurethane based floor paints are more elastic compared to epoxies but are more temporary. These floor coatings also offer germ resistance, aesthetic purposes and more.

Anti-slip floor coatings are types of floors that are made using special aggregates with a resin base to create a surface that offers a firm grip, even when it is damp. Anti-slip paints also offer many uses, such as clear coatings for a tiled floor to stronger ones for heavy traffic floors. This paint also provides durability, decoration and protection. Mainly used in doorways, steps, stairways and around machinery or locations where moisture or makes the floor slippery.
