A 2-component floor coating is an excellent choice for businesses seeking a versatile and low-maintenance flooring solution. Here’s why:
Why choose a 2-component floor coating?
A 2-component floor coating consists of two parts that must be mixed just before application. These coatings use a synthetic resin, such as epoxy or polyurethane, combined with a hardener. The mixing of these components triggers a chemical reaction, resulting in a durable and strong top layer with a variety of floor properties. These include the desired hardness, resistance to moisture and chemicals, and the level of wear resistance.
Advantages of 2-component floor coatings:
- Durability and strength. These coatings are ideal for industrial environments and commercial spaces with heavy (foot) traffic.
- Chemical resistance. They are resistant to chemicals, oils, and many other substances, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
- Versatility. Available in various colors, textures, gloss levels, and functional properties (such as the application of markings), these coatings offer many possibilities for businesses looking to reinforce their brand identity with their flooring while enhancing workplace safety.
- Long lifespan. Generally, 2-component floor coatings have a longer lifespan compared to single-component coatings, resulting in less frequent maintenance and replacement needs.
Frequently asked questions about 2-component floor coatings
- How long does it take for a 2-component floor coating to cure? This varies by product. Most 2-component coatings are dry to the touch after about 4 hours, walkable after 24 hours, recoatable within 1 to 7 days, and fully cured after 7 days. Consult our advisors for exact drying times.
- How do I maintain a floor with a 2-component coating? Maintenance is relatively simple. Regular vacuuming is sufficient to remove dirt and dust. Mopping can be done with a mild cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaning agents to maintain the coating’s integrity.
- Does the floor need to be pre-treated before applying a 2-component coating? Yes, the substrate must be clean, dry, and free of grease. It should also be well-bonded (a dust binder may be required). Since 2-component coatings are relatively thin, the surface must be level and, if necessary, smoothed out to prevent premature wear on raised areas.
