Modern industrial buildings, parking lots, hospitals, and production areas share a common need: durable, long-lasting, hygienic, and aesthetically pleasing floors. Epoxy flooring is a prominent solution in this regard. This system, distinguished by its chemical and physical resistance, combined with Merks Construction Chemicals' commitment to quality, offers businesses flawless flooring solutions.
What is Epoxy Floor Coating?
Epoxy Floor Coating is a flooring system created by mixing epoxy resin with a hardener. Once applied, it creates a durable, glossy, and homogeneous coating. It is dust-proof, chemical-resistant, and provides high mechanical strength.
Thanks to these properties, it offers both hygienic and long-lasting use.
Where is it used?
Factories and manufacturing facilities
Hospitals and laboratories
Food production areas
Parking lots and garages
Shops, shopping mall floors
Offices and warehouses
Merks epoxy coating systems are formulated in different types for both industrial floors and decorative floor solutions.
What are the advantages?
High abrasion resistance
Chemical and mechanical resistance
Easy-to-clean surface
Dust-free and hygienic
Decorative appearance with color and gloss options
Additionally, non-slip surface solutions are also possible with application-specific matte or glossy options in Merks epoxy systems.
Application Steps
1) The surface is roughened with a floor grinder.
2) An epoxy primer is applied and allowed to cure.
3) An epoxy coating system suitable for the surface is mixed, poured onto the surface, and spread with a trowel.
4) If desired, the floor can be polished with a final coat of polish.
5) At Merks, we perform floor analyses before each application to ensure the most appropriate epoxy system is selected. This ensures the system's long-term performance.
