Exceptional Benefits of Epoxy Floor Coating and Polyurethane Floor Coating

The Epoxy coating is a thermo setting polymer which is available in three different formulations for a specific floor coating and sealer for use in a garage. The three types are water based, solvent based, and 100% solids.  Epoxy FloorCoating benefits: These formulations allow for varying degrees of thickness from 3 mils to 10 mils (A mil is a thousandth of an inch) for a single coating. They allow for ease of application, special bonding characteristics, and VOC considerations. Epoxy easily bonds with new or old concrete.   The best epoxy formulations are 100% solids and provide for an extremely hard, thick, and impact resistant surface. This self-leveling thickness fills in the small hairline cracks of the floor as well as providing protection.
