Epoxy paints are extremely difficult for non-professionals. The importance of epoxy in coating a concrete slab is vital because of the bonding between the concrete and epoxy. Paints and wallcovering can become damaged as epoxy coatings fail. A well prepared surface will prevent these failures. Preparation of a surface is different depending on whether you are painting a concrete floor slab, garage concrete slab, concrete walls, etc.. Once the surface is prepared these coatings can be applied. •Industrial and commercial epoxy floor coatings can replace alternative flooring and will not break. The flooring will not become slick and is as strong as the concrete it is coating. Industrial coating and commercial coating, require a respective preparation to the known contaminants of the building environment. Taking measures to remove these chemicals from the concrete will help the epoxy coating to bond. Once bonded, additional layers of paint, sealant, urethane,
etc. can be applied to the flooring.

Sorting Out Epoxy
The final critical decision is what type of epoxy to use. Epoxy floor paints are tough resins that come in two separate parts that you mix together just before you apply them. You can divide them roughly into three types: 100 percent solids, solvent based and water based.
Ask  Patrick 1-877-749-5554 The 100 percent solid type is almost pure epoxy; it doesn’t contain solvents that evaporate. These products are expensive and difficult to handle because they harden so rapidly. They’re best left to the pros, at GWPainting

The solvent-based epoxies typically contain from 40 to 60 percent solids (epoxy). They penetrate and adhere well and are the choice of most pros. And they’re often available in a wide range of colors, which is one reason we chose this type for our demonstration. But they do have some drawbacks. The solvents are powerful and potentially hazardous; you MUST use a respirator (a 3M 5000 series respirator with an organic vapor/acid gas filter, The respirator must fit tightly to your face so you don’t breathe the fumes. In addition, you must ventilate the garage well and keep other people away from the odors.
