What Is Epoxy Flooring? Epoxy flooring refers to
the process of using epoxy materials for coating
over the floor to create a durable and attractive
flooring surface. Epoxy has a very impressive
characteristic that is to create a strong,
durable and chemically resistive covering over
the surface it is used. For an attractive and
long lasting flooring, it is very much used.
Epoxy flooring furnishes a very decorative and
high gloss finishing with varieties of colors and
styles. It is very easy to decorate the floor
with desired style and designing by using
different types of epoxy.  Epoxy resins are
polyepoxides which is a class of reactive
prepolymers and polymers which contains epoxide
groups. Epoxy resins can be reacted with
themselves through catalytic homopolymerisation.
The common practice is to use co-reactants, also
known as hardeners or curative. Combing different
types of resins and hardeners together, various
epoxy plastic can be resolved. Also, a
combination of different types of resins results
in different looks and styles. Epoxy Flooring
Techniques  For epoxy flooring, epoxide resin and
a polyamine hardener have to be mixed in a
certain amount. Combining those two chemicals a
process is formed called curing. This curing is
then used as a coating for the floor, or other
concretes as well as for metals. After some
hours, the liquid epoxy coating turns into an
extremely strong and durable solid covering.
Thus, the flooring surface is made up of the
coating normally having a depth lesser than two
millimeters.  There are various types of
floorings that are being practiced. The most
common practice among these are as
self-dispersing epoxy flooring, epoxy terrazzo
floors, graveled epoxy floors, chip flooring, and
colored aggregate flooring.
