Industrial environments demand flooring systems that can withstand constant pressure from heavy vehicles, exposure to automotive oils, water ingress, mechanical impact, and continuous foot traffic. A properly specified Industrial Flooring system not only protects the concrete substrate but also improves safety, hygiene, and long-term maintenance efficiency.
This guide explains how an epoxy floor coating system works, where it should be used, and how it is applied, based strictly on epoxy based industrial flooring systems used in practical site conditions.
An epoxy resin floor coating is a solvent free, two component system consisting of resin and hardener. When mixed and applied over prepared concrete, it forms a seamless, high build protective layer.
This system is commonly specified in:
The objective is simple: protect the concrete slab from wear, contamination, and structural deterioration while maintaining a safe working surface.
Concrete alone is porous and vulnerable to:
Without protection, this leads to cracking, contamination retention, and frequent repair cycles.
An epoxy based industrial flooring system addresses these issues by creating a dense, sealed, and impact resistant surface.
Designed to resist heavy foot traffic and mechanical movement.
Withstands abrasion from equipment, pallets and material handling.
Reduces downtime in industrial facilities.
Resist in water, mild chemicals and solvent exposure.
Different textures can be introduced to improve workplace safety.
Suitable for environments requiring controlled hygiene conditions.
Industrial flooring requirements vary depending on load and operational intensity. Below is a structured overview for light use and heavy use areas.
Industrial Flooring – Light Use Application Process
Proper preparation ensures maximum adhesion and coating performance.
Apply Advapoxy Primer to seal the surface when required.
Priming is generally not required if the substrate is:
If there is any uncertainty regarding concrete quality or porosity, priming is recommended.
Provides the final protective and durable surface finish.
Heavy duty environments require enhanced load bearing performance.
Grinding to remove laitance and contaminants, ensuring a clean, level base.
Apply Advapoxy Primer when substrate conditions require sealing.
ADVAPOXY SL is a self-leveling heavy duty epoxy floor coating designed for higher load conditions. It creates a thicker and more impact resistant finish compared to standard coatings.
ADVAPOXY 1500 is a high build, solvent free epoxy resin floor coating developed for industrial concrete floors.
It provides:
This makes it suitable for high traffic industrial zones where long term performance is essential.
When applied as per manufacturer guidelines:
Application must follow the current technical data sheet for correct preparation, mixing and installation.
Correct mixing is critical for performance and durability.
Improper mixing can lead to weak curing, surface defects, and reduced strength.
Builders and contractors should evaluate:
Light use areas can typically perform well with high build epoxy coating systems. Heavy operational areas may require self-leveling heavy duty epoxy systems.
A properly installed epoxy industrial flooring system:
Routine cleaning and periodic inspection ensure long term performance.
An epoxy based Industrial Flooring system provides structural protection, operational safety and durability for industrial concrete floors. Whether specified for light duty zones or heavy load environments, a correctly prepared substrate and properly applied epoxy floor coating system ensures long lasting performance.
For builders and contractors evaluating an epoxy resin floor coating, attention to preparation, correct product selection and proper mixing procedures are critical to achieving optimal results.
