Mixing

Epoxy Flooring Mortar

Types•Epoxy Flooring•Polyurethane Flooring(PU Flooring)•Antistatic Flooring•Anti Skid Flooring

Application Procedure

HOW TO START?????

Procedure1. Surface Preparation2. Priming Of Surface3. Mixing4. Application5. Clean up

Surface Preparation• Removal of dust• Removal of paint,

plaster, adhesive residues

• Scarifying the surfacePrecaution:- 1. If any crack or joint

present on substrate it must be open up & fill with epoxy material.

2. New slab must be cured for 14 days.

Priming Of Surface• All substrates

going to receive coat must be primed with primer

• No. of primer coats depends upon condition & porosity of substrate

Precaution:- All surface should be dust free.

Mixing• All component

materials of coat are mixed

• Mixing should be done for 1 min by using forced action

• Electric stirrer should be used for mixing

Precaution:- Use adequate ventilation, respirators and Protective gloves.

Application• Properly mixed

material is then placed on primed substrate without delay

• Use trowels & rollers for application

Precaution:- Do not over roll the surface.

Clean up• When the job is over all

equipments must be clean up by using thinner.

• The residual epoxy on workers skin must be washed out.

Precaution:-Use industrial skin clear for epoxy.

Clean or dispose contaminated clothes properly.

After the application of coat….

Efficiency• Joint less flooring• Provides more clean and hygienic

condition• 5-6 mm thick PU flooring has same

bearing strength as concrete• Saves manpower and time efficiently.

Advantages• Long lasting surface• Very low maintenance cost• Very much resistant to hard wearing,

abrasion• Resistant to a wide chemicals & liquids• Seamless-easily cleaned to maintain

high standards of hygiene• Much suitable in food & drinks

production environment

Disadvantages• High initial cost. For ex. Depending upon thickness

(mm) cost is 700 Rs./Sq. Mt to 2000 Rs/sq. Mt

• Require skilled labor and guidance.

Conclusion• Epoxy flooring is a modern

technique.• It can be prove more reliable than

conventional flooring.• It has wide range of scope in Indian

industries.• More research has to be made so

that to make it much affordable.
