Proper surface preparation is one of the most important steps for a long-lasting and resilient commercial epoxy floor coating. An epoxy coating requires a clean and slightly porous surface to adhere properly. Epoxy may not bond to sealed or polished concrete. The concrete also must be fully cured and free of damage, stains, and dust to allow the epoxy to bond properly. Before apply epoxy floor coating, it is important to patch and repair all major cracks and chips in the concrete surface and to remove all grease. A diamond grinder may also be used to open pores in the concrete to increase the strength of the bond. Epoxy is a two-part liquid, consisting of a resin and hardener, that you mix before application. Once the product is mixed, there's a limited time in which you can apply the epoxy coating before it starts to harden. It strengthens the concrete underneath it up to 300% because of the bond that it forms with the concrete.
