china floor coating

If you want to create a stunning water-based epoxy art floor paint, professional and standardized construction is essential. Next, we will disassemble the entire process from preliminary preparation to final completion to help you achieve the ideal floor effect. 1. Careful preparation before construction  Floor base treatment  Make sure the floor is dry and flat, and thoroughly remove oil, dust, loose particles and other debris.  For old floors, use a grinder to polish, remove old coatings and floating slurry, so that the floor forms a uniform rough surface and enhances adhesion.  If there are cracks or depressions on the floor, repair it with epoxy mortar, and polish it again after drying.  Preparation of construction tools and materials  Prepare construction tools such as rollers, scrapers, spray guns, and mixers to ensure that the tools are clean and free of impurities.  Strictly follow the proportions in the product manual, mix the main agent and curing agent, add color paste to mix the color according to the requirements of the artistic effect, and the prepared paint must be used up within the specified time.​ 2. Orderly construction process​ Primer application​ Use a roller to evenly roll the prepared water-based epoxy primer on the treated floor to ensure uniform coating thickness without missing or dripping. ​ The drying time of the primer is usually 4-8 hours (depending on the ambient temperature and humidity). The next step can be carried out after drying. ​ Mid-coat application​ Mix the water-based epoxy mid-coat material with an appropriate amount of quartz sand and apply it with a scraper. ​ It can be applied multiple times according to the designed thickness. Each time, you need to wait for the previous layer to dry completely. After the mid-coat is completed, the floor will form a rough surface to prepare for the topcoat application. ​ Topcoat application​ If you want a pure color effect, directly use a roller to evenly roll the prepared topcoat. ​ If you need artistic texture, use tools such as spray guns and scrapers, such as spray guns to create a gradient effect, and scrapers to create irregular geometric textures. Pay attention to the speed and coating uniformity during construction to avoid color difference and unevenness.​ 3. Finishing touches of surface treatment and maintenance Surface treatment (glazing) After the topcoat is applied, roll or spray the water-based epoxy glazing paint evenly on the surface of the topcoat to form a transparent protective film. ​ After the glazing paint dries, it improves the wear resistance, stain resistance and glossiness of the floor, enhances the UV resistance and delays aging. ​ Maintenance The maintenance period is generally 7-10 days. During this period, avoid the floor from being hit by heavy objects or scratched by sharp objects. People and vehicles are prohibited from walking on uncured floors. ​ Keep the room well ventilated to ensure that the floor paint is fully cured to achieve optimal performance.
