What Is Garage Floor Epoxy?
Before delving any further, we feel it is important to first outline exactly what garage floor epoxy is not and what it is. First, it is not paint. Now, many garage floor paints do contain a small amount of epoxy in order to increase its overall durability, but epoxy floor coatings – in and of themselves – are not paint.
It is a type of thermosetting resin. It is applied to the garage floor as a coating. It is a combination mixture of epoxide resin and polyamine hardener. It is the hardener that provides the strength to the epoxy floor coating.
Epoxy does not dry like paint does. Instead, it cures. This is made possible by an exothermic curing process. This produced structures that are cross-linked and very strong. The final result is a coating that is significantly thicker than that of paint. It immediately bonds to any surface that has been property prepared.
If you want the epoxy floor coating on your garage floor, it is best to have it professionally applied. This will ensure that it bonds and cures properly. Furthermore, it will be backed by a warranty that would not be in place if you handled the work yourself.
The Benefits
An epoxy floor coating hardens and thickens quickly, which results in a high level of durability. Additionally, it is resilient to impacts, chemicals and various types of surface abrasions. It will not chip and it is easy to clean. It can – literally – transform the garage floor to the point where it looks brand new!
