What exactly is Epoxy Coating?
Epoxy paint is a resin polymer that has been used for decades to cover concrete garage flooring. As a general rule, epoxy works better indoors, so this chemical-resistant and slip-free surface is ideal for the garage, where spills and puddles can be a problem.
Many people mistake epoxy coating for paint, especially because it comes in a variety of hues. This is simply not the case. Paint is a latex acrylic product, and the name "epoxy paint" may have originated when certain paint producers began incorporating a small quantity of epoxy into their goods and labeling them as epoxy paint. In fact, the phrase has become so ubiquitous that some epoxy coating manufacturers refer to their products as "paint" simply because that is what most people name them.
When comparing an epoxy floor to an epoxy floor coating, confusion is common. The difference between the two is the depth of the epoxy - as previously said, epoxy floors are defined as an epoxy coating at least two millimeters thick. An epoxy floor coating is any epoxy floor that is less than two millimeters thick.
As a result, never confuse epoxy coating with epoxy paint, as the latter is not epoxy. And in terms of durability, strength, longevity, and chemical resistance, the former clearly outperforms the latter by a factor of a hundred.

Have you ever noticed that some floors are extra shiny and smooth? They might even have a marble-like finish. That's because they have something called an epoxy coating. But what is an epoxy coating, exactly?
Let's break it down.
 
First, let's talk about what epoxy is. Epoxy is a type of resin, which is a gooey liquid that can harden into a solid. When you mix epoxy with a hardening agent, it creates a chemical reaction that causes the epoxy to harden and become solid. Think of it like making a cake - you mix two ingredients together and then they transform into a solid.
 
Now, let's talk about flooring. You know what a floor is, right? It's the surface you walk on in a room. Floors can be made of all kinds of materials, like wood, tile, carpet, or concrete. Sometimes, floors get damaged or stained, or they just don't look very nice anymore. That's where an epoxy coating comes in.
 
An epoxy coating is like a protective layer that gets applied on top of a floor. It's kind of like painting your nails with clear nail polish to protect the color underneath. The epoxy coating can make a floor look really shiny and new, and it can also protect the floor from damage.
 
So, how does the process of applying an epoxy coating work? First, the floor needs to be cleaned really well. Any dirt or debris on the floor can prevent the epoxy from sticking properly. Once the floor is clean, the epoxy is mixed together with a hardening agent. This creates a chemical reaction that makes the epoxy harden and become solid.
 
Then, the epoxy is poured onto the floor and spread out evenly with a special tool called a squeegee. The epoxy needs to be spread out quickly because it starts to harden fast. Once the epoxy is spread out, it needs to cure, which means it needs time to dry and harden completely.
 
After the epoxy has cured, the floor is ready to use again. The epoxy creates a super smooth and shiny surface that's really durable and easy to clean. It can even make a floor look like it's made of a completely different material, like marble or granite.
 
Overall, an epoxy coating is a great way to protect and beautify a floor. It's like giving a floor a superpower - it becomes extra strong and extra pretty. So, next time you see a really shiny and smooth floor, you'll know that it probably has an epoxy coating on top.
