What Are Epoxy Paints and Their Uses?
Blog | July 24th, 2017
Epoxy paints are specialty paints that contain epoxy resin. These paints may also include a thixotropic additive to create a gel-like viscosity to the paint for wall applications for even application. Either version of the epoxy paints provides a durable surface that is superior to the type of surface that acrylic and latex paints provide to you. Also, it is possible to mix in various enhancements into these paints for aesthetic or safety purposes.
List of Uses for Epoxy Paints
We provide the following possible uses for these paints:
Garage Concrete Floors – As most homeowners know, raw concrete floors are difficult to clean and maintain without applying an additional protective treatment to them. Epoxy-type paints are the ideal solution.
Wall Paint – As a wall paint, an epoxy paint provides a resilient, durable surface the lasts far longer than that of acrylic or latex paint.
Industrial and Manufacturing Facilities – Facilities such as these need walls and floors that resist daily punishment and at times, exposure to caustic elements.
Commercial Bakeries – These businesses require a sanitary work space in which to work each day to ensure the safety of their products. Paints that contain epoxy are easy to clean with strong disinfectants.
Healthcare Facilities – Facilities such as these need superior floors and walls in various sections of their buildings. They need to be able to remove blood and pathogens from the walls and floors to keep an infection from permeating through the building and causing the patients and staff members health issues.
Commercial Bathrooms – Similar to commercial bakeries and healthcare facilities, commercial bathrooms require floors and possibly walls that are easy to sanitise.
