FAQ
Is Epoxy Flooring Slippery?
Epoxy flooring isn’t as slippery as it looks. Adding a skid-resistant additive to the topcoat can make the floor very safe, even when wet. Without a nonslip additive, epoxy flooring can become very slippery, especially with oil spills. At Epoxy Kings, we highly recommend the topcoat to avoid accidents and ensure maximum safety for your epoxy floors in Cape Town.
What Causes Damage to Epoxy Flooring?
Understanding Epoxy Floor Damage:
Improper application is a common misconception among facility managers when epoxy floors show signs of damage. However, the reality is more complex. Epoxy is sensitive to various factors both during and after application. Elements like weather conditions and plant operations can impact epoxy negatively. Here are key factors affecting the quality and durability of epoxy floors:
- Temperature Extremes: Extreme temperatures or fluctuations can cause peeling or uneven coatings. Epoxy needs a specific temperature range (20 to 30 degrees Celsius) to set properly.
- Humidity and Moisture: Humidity and moisture cause bubbles, blisters, and peeling. A completely dry environment is essential for durability.
- UV Exposure: UV radiation leads to discoloration and bubbles. Avoid using epoxy in areas with prolonged sunlight exposure.
- Surface Texture: A too-smooth or too-rough base surface can prevent proper adhesion, causing peeling or bubbles.
- Contaminants on the Base Floor: Oil or other contaminants can obstruct adhesion, leading to peeling.
- Application Speed: Applying epoxy too quickly or too slowly can cause blisters, pinholes, or low-quality finishes.
- Material Handling Equipment: Forklifts and heavy equipment can scratch and damage epoxy floors, progressing to significant patches over time.
Maintaining the integrity of epoxy flooring requires careful consideration and control of these factors.
