In-depth Analysis of the Core Components and Characteristics of Epoxy Floor Paint
Epoxy Floor Paint is more than just a simple surface coating; it is a tough protective system formed through a chemical cross-linking reaction. As one of the core products of Zhejiang Bolei Coatings Co., Ltd., our Epoxy Floor Paint utilizes high-molecular epoxy resin as the film-forming base material, combined with high-performance curing agents to create a three-dimensional network structure through polymerization after application.
This unique chemical structure grants Epoxy Floor Paint physical stability far exceeding that of ordinary floor materials. Whether facing the frequent rolling of heavy machinery or the erosion of strong acids and alkalis common in industrial production, our Epoxy Floor Paint provides a long-lasting barrier for concrete floors.

Core Classifications: Choosing the Right Epoxy Floor Paint for Your Space
To meet the requirements of different industrial environments and construction standards, Zhejiang Bolei Coatings Co., Ltd. has developed and produced various specifications of Epoxy Floor Paint. Based on the solvent carrier, application thickness, and functional characteristics, we categorize our products into three core types to ensure your flooring project achieves the best protective and aesthetic effects.
Water-Based Epoxy Floor Paint
This is the preferred solution in an era of increasing environmental awareness. It uses water as a diluent, resulting in low VOCs and no irritating odor. It is widely used in indoor parking garages with general ventilation, food processing plants, hospitals, and schools. It allows for construction on slightly damp concrete surfaces and possesses good breathability, preventing the coating from blistering.
Solvent-Based Epoxy Floor Paint
As a traditional industrial protective benchmark, this type of Epoxy Floor Paint has extremely strong penetration capabilities. It is the ideal choice for mechanical manufacturing workshops and heavy-duty logistics warehouses with high requirements for wear resistance. The paint film is extremely hard and can penetrate deep into concrete pores to form a strong anchor, offering high gloss and saturated colors.
Solvent-Free Self-Leveling Epoxy Floor Paint
This is a high-end series launched by Zhejiang Bolei Coatings Co., Ltd. for high-purity requirements. It is designed for precision electronics manufacturing, pharmaceutical workshops, and laboratories. It features a large single-application thickness (usually 1mm-3mm), a mirror-like flat surface, and 100% solid content ensuring zero shrinkage and an ultra-long service life.

Application Scenarios of Epoxy Floor Paint
The versatility of Epoxy Floor Paint makes it the core of modern architectural flooring solutions. As a flagship product of Zhejiang Bolei Coatings Co., Ltd., our epoxy systems can be precisely adapted to various environments ranging from harsh industrial heavy-duty areas to exquisite commercial displays by adjusting coating thickness and functional fillers.
Industrial and Warehousing: Extreme Durability
In large factories and logistics centers, floors must withstand high-frequency forklift rolling and accidental chemical spills. High-solid content Epoxy Floor Paint is used, combined with quartz sand reinforcement layers, to form a high-strength, pressure-resistant floor. Logistics warehouses utilize the high flatness of Epoxy Floor Paint to reduce forklift wear and use rich colors for safety zone divisions.
Commercial Spaces: Combining Aesthetics with Functionality
Commercial environments require floors that are not only durable but also visually aligned with the brand and low in maintenance costs. High-gloss Epoxy Floor Paint from Zhejiang Bolei Coatings Co., Ltd. is used to create a mirror effect, enhancing the brightness and class of the space. In hospitals and schools, the environmental characteristics of water-based Epoxy Floor Paint are utilized to ensure indoor air quality.
Specialized Functional Environments
For high-tech industries, Epoxy Floor Paint can achieve special functions by adding conductive materials. Electronics cleanrooms use anti-static Epoxy Floor Paint to effectively drain static electricity and protect precision components. Food and pharmaceutical processing centers benefit from a seamless, impermeable surface to prevent bacterial growth.

Construction Process: Key Steps to Ensure Durability of Epoxy Floor Paint
High-quality floor results depend not only on premium materials but also on a rigorous construction process. Zhejiang Bolei Coatings Co., Ltd., with years of experience in construction services and coatings manufacturing, has summarized a standardized Epoxy Floor Paint application system.
Substrate Preparation
This is the most critical stage of any Epoxy Floor Paint project. Surface grinding involves using shot blasting or grinding machines to remove laitance, oil stains, and loose layers from the concrete. It is essential to ensure the moisture content of the substrate is below 8%. Zhejiang Bolei Coatings Co., Ltd. recommends using dehumidification or special primers if moisture is high. For expansion joints and cracks, high-strength epoxy mortar must be used for filling and leveling.
Priming Phase
The primary role of the primer is to seal the concrete pores, prevent bubbles, and enhance the adhesion between the Epoxy Floor Paint topcoat and the base. Our penetrative primers have extremely low viscosity to dive deep into the substrate, creating a strong anchor for subsequent layers.
Intermediate Layer for Leveling and Reinforcement
This stage determines the flatness and impact resistance of the floor. By adding appropriate quartz sand to the Epoxy Floor Paint, the coating thickness is increased and compressive strength is enhanced. Following this, an epoxy putty layer further fills tiny holes to provide a mirror-like flat foundation for the topcoat.
Topcoat Application
This step presents the final visual effect and protective performance. It is vital to strictly follow the mixing ratios for resins and curing agents provided by Zhejiang Bolei Coatings Co., Ltd. depending on design requirements, installers can choose between flat coating, self-leveling, or anti-slip orange peel textures.

FAQ
Q1: Why does my Epoxy Floor Paint blister after application?
A: Blistering is usually caused by two factors: first, high moisture content in the substrate (over 8%), where water vapor pushes up the film; second, high ambient temperatures or direct sunlight causing the surface to skin over too quickly. Zhejiang Bolei Coatings Co., Ltd. recommends strict moisture testing before construction.
Q2: Can this Epoxy Floor Paint be used in outdoor environments?
A: Standard Epoxy Floor Paint is designed primarily for indoor use because it is sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light, which can cause yellowing or chalking over time. For outdoor needs, Zhejiang Bolei Coatings Co., Ltd. suggests applying a UV-resistant polyurethane (PU) clear coat over the epoxy.
Q3: How long should I wait before the Epoxy Floor Paint can be put into use?
A: Curing time is heavily influenced by temperature. Below are the reference standards based on Zhejiang Bolei Coatings Co., Ltd. laboratory tests:

Q4: How do I determine if an old floor is suitable for Epoxy Floor Paint?
A: It depends on the strength and adhesion of the old floor. If there is large-scale dusting, heavy oil contamination, or peeling of previous coatings, deep grinding or shot blasting is required. The technical team at Zhejiang Bolei Coatings Co., Ltd. can provide a substrate evaluation plan for you.
Q5: What should I note for the daily cleaning of Epoxy Floor Paint?
A: Maintenance is simple, but avoid using strong acid or alkaline cleaners or steel wool. We recommend neutral detergents with automatic scrubbers or soft mops. For partial damage, Zhejiang Bolei Coatings Co., Ltd. provides matching repair materials to quickly restore the floor.
