What are Epoxy Floor Coatings

Epoxy is a type of polymer material that begins as a liquid and is converted to a solid state through a controlled chemical reaction. Because of this change in state, epoxy floor coatings are typically a mechanically strong and chemically resistant type of flooring. Epoxy floor coatings are highly adhesive during the conversion from liquid to solid allowing them to create a secure bond with both new and old concrete flooring surfaces.

There are a wide variety of applications and uses for epoxy coatings including epoxy floor paint in commercial and industrial settings as well as for coatings on industrial equipment or machinery. Epoxy floor coatings can also be used as cementitious moisture barriers over concrete slabs and foundations in new construction.

How Epoxy Floor Coatings Work

Epoxy floor coatings are typically comprised of two main components, resins and hardeners. The resin component in an epoxy floor coating is light or clear in color and nearly odor free. Hardeners on the other hand, are dark and have a strong characteristic “ammonia-like” smell. When these two components are mixed together during the epoxy floor coating application process, a chemical reaction begins. This chemical reaction turns the epoxy floor coatings into tough, rigid, and plastic-like materials, which are very durable, waterproof, and chemically resistant.

In general, epoxy floor coatings are available in both one coat and two coat varieties. One-coat application systems allow for faster installation times, while two-coat systems result in a more secure application. Two-coat epoxy floor coatings help to eliminate the risk of developing pinholes or voids during application, which can cause future problems in the durability and waterproofing of the coating.

The epoxy floor coating process is typically done by applying the coatings using a roller. This application is best when performed by experienced floor coating professionals to ensure proper application and durability.

Epoxy Floor Coating Usages:-

Epoxy coatings are durable coatings that can be used for a variety of purposes from strong adhesives to durable paint and coatings for floors and metals. Epoxy coatings are created through the generation of a chemical reaction using an epoxide resin and a polymine hardener. When these two chemicals are combined, a process called “curing” results. This process can take anywhere from several minutes to several hours and turns the liquid epoxy coating in to an extremely strong and durable solid.

Because of its ability to create a strong, durable, and chemically resistant substance, epoxy and epoxy coating compounds can be used for a variety of purposes. You can find epoxy coatings used throughout industrial manufacturing plants, in composite materials such as carbon fiber and fiberglass, and in a variety of electrical, automotive, and marine applications. Epoxy materials and epoxy coating compounds can also be used as durable adhesives in a variety of applications.

Epoxy Coating Compounds and Paints

One of the most popular epoxy coating uses is the use of epoxy compounds as coatings or paints. Epoxy coatings are popular because they provide a quick drying, tough, and protective coating for metals and other materials. Unlike traditional heat-cured powder coatings, epoxy coatings are quick and easy to apply making them idea for a number of applications. Some of the main epoxy coating uses include:

• White Goods Coating Applications: An epoxy coating is often used as the powder coating on washers, driers, and other “white goods” because it is durable and easy to apply.
• Automotive and Marine Applications: An epoxy coating will act as a primer to prevent corrosion and ensure the adhesion of paints on automobiles and boats.
• Steel Corrosion Resistant Coatings: Fusion Bonded Epoxy Powder Coatings are used for corrosion protection in steel pipes and fittings used in the oil and gas industry, water transmission pipelines, and concrete reinforcing rebar.
• Metal Can and Container Coating: Metal cans and containers are often treated with an epoxy coating to prevent rusting especially when used to package acidic foods such as tomatoes.
• Flooring Applications: Epoxy coatings can be used as epoxy floor paint in industrial or commercial applications.

Resistance to Thermal System Structure

• Use the products mentioned below as indicated in their respective Product Data Sheets
• Substrate Priming Systems
• Substrate priming is normally not required under typical circumstances. (See Substrate Quality). When necessary use the systems indicated below.

Substrate Quality

The concrete substrate must be sound and of sufficient compressive strength (minimum 25 N/mm2) with a minimum pull off strength of 1.5 N/mm2. The substrate must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants such as oil, grease, coatings and surface treatments, etc. If in doubt, apply a test area first. Substrate priming is normally not required under typical circumstances. However due to variations in concrete quality, surface conditions, surface preparation and ambient conditions, reference test areas are recommended to determine whether priming is required to prevent the possibility of blisters, debonding pinholes and other aesthetic variations. Sikafloor® PurCem® can be applied onto recent concrete over 7 days old or onto old damp concrete (up to 10%) without having to prime first, as long as the substrate fulfils the above requirements.

Substrate Preparation

Concrete substrates must be prepared mechanically using abrasive blast cleaning or scarifying equipment to remove cement laitance and achieve an open textured surface to achieve CSP 3-6 according to the International Concrete Repair Institute. Weak concrete must be removed and surface defects such as blow holes and voids must be fully exposed.

Repairs to the substrate, filling of blowholes/voids and surface levelling must be carried out using appropriate products from the Sikafloor®, Sikadur® and Sikagard® range of materials.

High spots can be removed by grinding. All dust, loose and friable material must be completely removed from all surfaces before application of the product, preferably by brush and/or vacuum.

Edge terminations. All free edges and working day joints of Sikafloor®-19 N / -20 N / -21 N / -22 N and – 29 N PurCem®, whether at the perimeter, along gutters or at drains require extra anchorage to distribute mechanical and thermal stresses. This is best achieved by forming or cutting grooves in the concrete. Grooves must have a depth and width of twice the thickness of the Sikafloor®-PurCem®. Refer to the edge details provided in the Method Statement. If necessary, protect all free edges with mechanically attached metal strips. Never featheredge, always turn into an anchor groove.

Expansion joints: Expansion joints must be provided in the substrates at the intersection of dissimilar materials. Isolate areas subject to thermal stresses, vibration movements or around load-bearing columns and at vessels sealing rings. Refer to the edge details provided in the Method Statement.

Substrate Temperature: +10°C min. / +30°C max.

Ambient Temperature: +10°C min. / +30°C max.

ESD Flooring

An ESD Flooring system serves as a conduit for electrical static charge (known as BVG or Body Voltage Generation accumulation on a person from movement across a polymer floor) to discharge to a desired controlled ground point. This directed and intentional flow of electrical current and discharge helps to greatly reduce or eliminate the potential of accidental electrostatic discharge, which can damage sensitive electronic components during manufacture. Even the smallest, and usually un-noticed, ESD discharge can have adverse effects on sensitive electronic components. With today’s smaller and more electrostatically-sensitive microchip components and printed circuit boards (PCB’s), manufacturers have been tasked with developing ESD-control and prevention programs to limit component failure and scrap rates as part of their quality control and manufacturing processes.

How Does ESD Flooring Work?

An ESD-control floor coating contains a conductive particle within its matrix which renders the coating to be electrically active in such a way that electrical current can travel through it. Much like a wire, it is able to carry electrical charge from one point to another. This is unlike wood, plastic, or glass, which are known insulators and unable to carry an electrical current. Most paints or polymer coatings do not have this property. In an ESD Protected Area (EPA), this type of floor works in conjunction with various other ESD protection devices, such as footwear, garments, and grounding straps to accomplish the task of minimizing BVG and controlling proper grounded discharge.

Why Is This Important?

The risk of unwanted static discharge consequence can range from extremely critical (life threatening), as in the case of unwanted spark generation causing an explosion in flammable environments, to more general, as in the case of eliminating static discharge nuisance with persons experiencing a mild “shock”.

Most often, the need for an ESD Floor (usually as a critical component of an entire ESD program) is necessary in the electronics industry. This is especially true in circuit board assembly and production. These circuit boards contain thousands of microscopic electric circuits that can be destroyed or “fried” with very small jolts of static discharge. In essence, static discharge onto one of these circuit boards has the same effect of blowing a fuse or circuit breaker in your home. Some of these failures can be immediately detected in the quality control process. These failures are categorized as catastrophic failures. Some failures, however, are so minor that they are not detected in quality control and the product with the faulty circuit board part is shipped out to the end user or consumer market. These failures, known as latent failures, usually occur quickly when the product is put to use out in the field. As you can surmise, these types of failures result in unexpected, costly warranty claims, and can tarnish an electronic component manufacturer’s reputation.

An ESD Flooring system, when installed and utilized as part of an entire ESD-control and prevention program, can work to limit both types of failures, thereby contributing to a lower scrap rates and a healthier bottom line.

ESD/Conductive and Anti-Static Flooring: The Differences

If you are looking for a flooring solution that deals with static then it’s important that you understand the difference between anti-static and ESD. They both prevent a person from building up a charge as they walk across the floor so they do not get a shock when they touch something that conducts electricity. However, the top layer of an anti-static floor has a coating that dissipates static across its surface so you never build up enough charge to get a shock, whereas ESD is a much more robust solution because it is actually earthed.

The term anti-static refers to a very specific electrical resistance range of between 10⁹ and 10 to the 11 and only means that the floor itself will not generate static. It does not mean that the floor will eliminate static build up or dissipate static that may have already been built up in the body. This can only be achieved with a conductive (resistance range of between 10⁷ x 10⁶) or a dissipative (10⁷ to 10⁹) floor covering.

The term anti-static is often misunderstood and misused, 9 times out of 10 when we are asked for anti-static flooring what the customer actually wants is Electro-Static Dissipative or Conductive Flooring, commonly referred to as ESD flooring.

As a general rule you will need an ESD floor if you are manufacturing, repairing, servicing, handling or using equipment that is susceptible to damage from electro-static discharge, typical sectors would include the manufacture of components for the electronics industry, aviation, automotive, IT, medical, oil and gas, telecoms and IT for example.

ESD flooring gives a much higher level of protection than anti-static matting. This is because it is actually grounded. Ecotile ESD tiles, for example, have millions of small stainless steel fibres running all the way through them. The tiles are then laid out on top of a conductive grid. We then lay earth points every 80 -100 m² so that the electricity flows out through the conductive grid. This is much better than anti-static matting because our stainless steel fibres run all the way through each tile, so their conductive performance never diminishes.

If static or electro-static discharge is more of an inconvenience than a fundamental risk to your processes, for example in the printing industry, warehousing and packaging, food production etc. there are far simpler and more cost effective ways to manage the issue of static discharge.

Cleaning & Maintenance: There are a range of off the shelf anti-static cleaning products available, they work in exactly the same way as a standard floor cleaning chemical but include an anti-static additive that attracts moisture from the atmosphere that eliminates static build up. To further emphasise the importance of correct cleaning it is worth adding that many standard cleaning chemicals can actually increase the risk / propensity to static build up. It is highly recommended that you use a neutral PH cleaning chemical so that you do not add either a positively charged layer over the top of your floor surface.

Furthermore static will build up quicker on a dirty floor, the friction caused by the rubbing of the sole of a shoe and the dust and dirt on the floor will create static. A good and regular cleaning regime using the correct cleaning chemicals will ensure a static free floor.

The next simple step is:

Use the right type of shoes: Certain synthetic / man made shoe soles create a lot of static electricity. Experiment with different shoes. The reason you build up static electricity usually comes from walking on an insulative surface with certain types of insulative shoes, especially when the weather / room humidity is very dry. We would strongly recommend that you avoid trainers or any shoes with rubber soles. Leather soles are good and for the best solution use either anti-static or even better ESD footwear. Providing the correct footwear is a far more cost effective solution that installing a full ESD flooring if you don’t need one!!!!

How are ESD floors installed?

All floors are different but we use a unique interlocking floor tile system that allows us to lay floors quickly and with minimum disruption. If you have raised access flooring you can lift our tiles to get to the cables running underneath the floor or if you have lots of electrical equipment and a server room you would definitely benefit from an ESD floor.

When installing an ESD floor it is important that people entering the area wear the correct footwear or heel straps to ensure the connection between the person and the floor isn’t broken. Everyone should also wear white coats as electricity can jump and it is possible to damage electrical components this way without realising.

Substrate Preparation

(i) Fresh concrete:

The concrete must be prepared by suitable power or manual floating/tamping techniques.

(ii) Hardened / Old concrete:

The substrate must be prepared by suitable mechanical preparation techniques such as high pressure of water or abrasive blast cleaning equipment.

All dust, dirt, loose and friable material must be completely removed from all surfaces before application of the product, preferably by brush and / or vacuum.

Substrate Moisture Content

Can be applied on green concrete, without any bleed water.

Floor Densifier has several major advantages:

• Hardens – Floor Densifier’s chemical densifying action hardens and strengthens within the concrete mass, protecting against deterioration.
• Abrasion Resistant- Floor Densifier produces a floor that is resistant to traffic. Rather than eroding, the floor surface actually self polishes. “The more the floor is used the better it looks”.
• Hard Shell Surface Finish – Floor Densifier produces a permanent hard shell and sheen on smooth steel toweled concrete surfaces.
• Dustproofs – Floor Densifier combines with the concrete salts, locking them permanently within the concrete. Since these salts are the normal cause of concrete dust, the surface remains dust-free.
• Significantly Reduces Tire Marks – Tire marks from forklifts are a major problem on many warehouses floors, especially those treated with acrylic and other coatings. When the concrete itself is integrally sealed, hardened and densified with the Floor Densifier tire marks are dramatically decreased if not totally eliminated. If superficial tire marks do occur, they can be quickly and easily removed.
• Cures – The Floor Densifier is an effective curing agent when applied immediately after the finishing operation. It stabilizes the surface, and minimizes crazing. It also ensures that the concrete will meet or exceed its design strength.
• Guarantee – Floor Densifier comes to its customers with a 10-year guarantee. Sree Balaji brings to you this maintenance-free, only mopping needed concrete solution to add new life to your floor.

With a single flood coat Floor Densifier give you so much.

sika joint floor exA

When joints are installed in a flooring system it prevents them from being completely seamless and therefore makes them open for the growth of bacteria and deterioration. Facility managers and site managers often agree that joints are their biggest, most expensive problem when maintaining their floors. Sika provides a solution to this problem with a range of innovative product and joint sealing options.

The sound and feeling of rumbling over crossing joints in warehouses is familiar to most people. It can feel uncomfortable and cause irritation for your ears and body but up until now there hasn’t been a suitable solution. Even hospital patients have had to endure the unpleasant experience.

Sika can now offer the perfect solution with ultra-thin and almost invisible joint profiles. The profiles are installed on the same surface level as the floor, which means no more thresholds. One benefit of this new system is reduced damage to vehicles, meaning the cost of spare parts for trucks decreases significantly too. A real added value in every respect.

MOVEMENT OF SENSITIVE GOODS CAN BE DONE QUICKLY AND WITH EASE. NOTHING IS GOING TO BREAK. THRESHOLD-LESS AND NOISELESS FORKLIFT DRIVING IS MADE POSSIBLE.

Requirements

Floor joints in industrial areas equipped with conventional steel profiles are subject to high loads when they are trafficked by fork-lifts. If the profiles are not absolutely flat they can cause noise, vibration and blows on wheel bearings. This causes the fork-lifts to suffer and can contribute to a high wear rate of spare parts. The Sika® FloorJoint S joint system is the perfect solution. The prefabricated, carbon fibre reinforced polymer concrete profile can also be retrofitted with little effort. The result is a noiseless and vibration-free ride suitable for all kinds of fork-lifts.

Advantages

• Maintenance and repair can be done over the weekend
• No vibrations when trafficked
• Significant reduction of wear to components such as wheel bearings, etc. from fork–lifts
• Grindable, therefore ultra-flat
• High chemical resistance
• Easy solution for the connection between horizontal and vertical construction elements

Range Of Use

Suitable for use in new constructions and in the refurbishment of all areas where a joint is needed and where the floor joint can be trafficked.

Application

Sika® Floor Joint S is not only suitable for new buildings but also for the refurbishment of defective joint panels where it can be installed easily and smoothly. Only a very short time is needed because rapid resin systems are used to bond the panels to the concrete substrate. This minimizes the interruption of daily operation and thus relieves budget pressure. A smooth plane is achieved by grinding, which prevents reliable beats and noise. Critical floor joints in warehouses and assembly halls, workshops, hospitals and shops disappear quickly and easily.

PU flooring SYSTEM

1. Integral waterproofing

Unlike methods that can be applied after concrete pour, integral waterproofing makes the concrete impervious by adding chemical admixtures during the concrete making. There are three types of integral waterproofing systems based on the process by which the admixture achieves waterproofing.

Hydrophobic admixture based: Cement contains calcium ions. The water-repellent or Hydrophobic admixtures like Sika 1+ reacts with the calcium ions to form a water-repellent within the pores and blocks the pores. This process makes the concrete less absorbent of water and prevents water ingress.
Densifying admixture based: Concrete can be produced with a low water-cement ratio by using a densifying admixture making a less permeable and low absorption concrete. This process makes the concrete waterproof.
Crystalline admixture based: The crystalline admixtures forms crystalline composites and blocks the capillary pores. This process makes the concrete waterproof.

The decision to go with the integral waterproofing system and choosing the admixtures, procurement of the products etc. need to be finalized before actual pouring of concrete. Many a time this may indeed knock off few months from the project completion.

Procedure

Design the concrete mix with the proposed integral waterproofing admixture to determine optimum dosage
Add the admixture with the water by means of a calibrated dispenser to the concrete ingredients.
Lay the concrete and cure well similar to any other concrete.

Advantages

Damage to the surface will not alter waterproofing properties. Whereas, in all other kinds of waterproof coatings, utmost care is required not to damage the protective coating.
Does not require a separate schedule for waterproofing activity resulting in savings to project completion time.

2. Brickbat Coba waterproofing

The brickbat coba is used for waterproofing of RCC flat roofs. It consists of putting brickbats on roofs maintaining a proper slope and then grouting the same with mortar mixed with waterproofing compounds. This method is now out of favor and many choose superior alternative methods and better products from leading providers.

Procedure

Surface preparation: Thoroughly clean the surface free of loose materials and dust
Slurry or mortar preparation: Blend the cement with waterproofing compound (if in powder form) or water mixed with waterproofing compound (if in liquid form) and prepare the mortar. In the entire Brickbat Coba procedure, wherever slurry or mortar is used, it shall be used mixed with waterproofing compound only
First layer (sub-base): Dampen the surface and apply slurry with brush including in all joints
Second layer (base): Apply 25 mm thick cement mortar in 1 cement : 4 sand ratio while the first coat is still green.
Third layer (brickbat): Place with hand 40 to 75 mm thick brickbats with 15 mm thick mortar packed below the brickbat over the second layer. Leave suitable gaps between brickbats. Cure the surface for 24 hours. After 24 hours curing, apply slurry and fill the gaps between brickbats with 1 cement: 4 mortar.
Fourth layer (Protective layer): Apply 20 mm thick cement mortar in 1 cement: 4 sand ratio while the third layer is still green. Finish the surface smooth with cement slurry.
Test the treated surface by making bunds with cement mortar and flooding the water. Keep the water for a minimum of two weeks. Observe for any leaks.

Advantages

Maintaining slope is easy
Workforce easily available particularly in interior area
Provides heat insulation
High wear and tear resistance
Cracks will not occur easily because of temperature variations. This will, in turn, prevent leakages. Putting china chips on top can further prevent cracks formation due to thermal variation.

3. Cementitious coating waterproofing

Cementitious waterproofing system is cement based modified with acrylic polymers. While the cementitious materials provide the tensile strength, polymers improve elastic and adhesion properties. This makes the coating elastic and prevents water ingress to make it suitable for a waterproofing system. Cementitious coatings are popular due to their ease of application and easy availability at any building product stores. In addition to waterproofing, these coatings can also enhance the durability of an existing surface.

Procedure

Clean the surface thoroughly free of loose particles, dirt and oil traces.
Mix the materials well as per manufacturer specification. The product comes in two components and requires site mixing making it a thin liquid.
Wet the surface to a saturated surface dry condition.
Apply the mix over the surface with brush or roller maintaining uniform thickness as specified.
