ESD can be hazardous to many work environments. To reduce any static hazards in your spaces, anti-static epoxy floors can be applied. This epoxy floor basically holds a conductive compound that accumulates static electricity that dissipates any potential discharge. An anti-static solution is a highly recommended epoxy floor for spaces that contain flammable materials. Places … Continued

The best-known and most widely used form of epoxy around the house is adhesive. And if you haven’t used epoxy for gluing stuff, you should try it. Epoxy is the true “super” glue. While regular superglue (cyanoacrylate) is finicky and won’t hold unless you have perfectly matched parts with virtually no gap whatsoever, epoxy can … Continued

Most adhesives known as “structural “or “engineering” adhesives are epoxies. These high-performance adhesives are used to make laminated woods for decks, walls, roofs and other building uses, as well as in other products that require strong bonds to a variety of substrates, for example to concrete or wood. Epoxies can stick to wood, metal, glass, … Continued

One-part epoxy adhesives are cured at temperatures between 250 and 300 degrees Fahrenheit. They are formed without the aid of a catalyst and cure faster than two-component epoxy systems. One-component systems have excellent adhesive properties and are resistant to harsh external environments. This makes them an excellent alternative to welding and rivets, as they possess … Continued

Depending on the individual project, repairs may require to be done prior to the surface preparation and should be regarded before commencing work. Be sure that all demolition is complete and finished prior to the surface preparation.     Two. The cove base should be installed prior to the use of the polymer base coat system … Continued

Grinding The preferred method for concrete surface preparation in most cases is grinding of all horizontal surfaces. Shot-blasting is another good method for mechanically abrading concrete to receive a coating and is basically recommended for heavier duty epoxy mortars or urethane cement systems.  Chemical preparation, although acceptable and commonly used, is a less desirable method … Continued

Unsound concrete, basically found as cracks, delamination or eroded joints, must be fixed or replaced. DO NOT use a polymer system over any concrete modified topping, underlayment system, or patches unless otherwise approved by the producer. Horizon Epoxy Floor, as a company of many years of experience in this field, has been doing the best … Continued

Random Patterns using a 9″ or 6″ “Hot Dog Roller: Another popular way to finish a metallic epoxy floor is to squeeze and roll the coating out evenly and then wait for it to gel some. Then use a 9″ or 6″ roller to make random patterns in the coating. The key is to keep … Continued

Timing is Crucial:  When you do your finishing techniques, it’s very crucial to know how the end result will look. If you do your impacts right after the metallic epoxy is used, the results will not be as dramatic as it would be if you waited 15 or 20 minutes. When you apply your impacts … Continued

Using materials that are undemanding to clean make sure that plants can’t be infected, especially as the confined space and temperature of a commercial grow room can easily harbor microbes. Not only is the space surrounded, but it is also very moist. That means the floor is usually wet. The cleaner the grow room, the … Continued
