    1. What is epoxy flooring?
    Epoxy flooring, full name epoxy resin flooring, is epoxy resin as a glue supplemented by some heavy calcium powder, quartz sand and other bone and fillers and made of a functional new floor. Epoxy flooring is an excellent decoration and function of a ground product, belongs to the coating category, is a high-quality product, it has color, with a higher strength of film coating, and after construction of the surface flat smooth, simple cleaning, a wide range of applications.
    2. What is the scope of application of epoxy flooring?
    production workshop, dust-free workshop, warehouse, anti-static explosion and other special requirements of the workshop warehouse, office and underground garage and other areas

    .
    3. There are several types of epoxy flooring
    a, epoxy flattening flooring (common workshop dustproof, environmentally demanding places).
    b, epoxy self-leveling floor (dust-free workshop, plant purification requirements are relatively high industrial production areas).
    c, epoxy anti-static floor (anti-static requirements of the electronics industry manufacturing workshop).
    d, epoxy mortar wear-resistant floor (the factory has heavy-duty operation of the workshop, warehouse, passageway, underground parking lot and other areas).
    4. The thickness of the epoxy floor?
    according to the type of epoxy floor, the thickness design of the flooring ranges from 0.5mm to 5mm. However, the thickness design of industrial floors needs to take into account a variety of conditions.
    5. What is the price of epoxy flooring?
    a. Epoxy self-leveling: according to color, thickness is not the same, the general self-leveling in 45 to 120 yuan / square meters, rarely below this price of the scene, but special request, there is far higher than this general offer type.
    b. Epoxy mortar floor: here called epoxy mortar, thickness is generally not less than 1.00mm, the price is generally between 30 to 60 yuan / square;
    c. Simple epoxy flat coating: save the scraping procedure, and even some even putty layer is not, so the price is extremely low, generally around 25 yuan / square meters, some even as low as 18 yuan / m2. But a point quote a cent of goods, this type of flooring although the price is low, but the use of the cycle is also very short, not long-term solution.
    d. Epoxy stop lane: underground garage dedicated, thickness is generally not less than 3mm, according to the request is not the same general price in 120 yuan to 180 yuan / square meters.
    e. anti-static epoxy floor: there are two types of flat coating and self-leveling type, but flat-coated anti-static capacity persistence is not good, so not mentioned here. Standardized norms and above self-leveling anti-static flooring market quotations are generally not less than 120 yuan / square meters.
    f. Colored sand epoxy floor / floating sand epoxy floor: attributed to the high-strength wear-resistant epoxy floor with special decoration effect, the standard level is higher, the price is also attributed to, in 150 yuan / square meters or more.
    g. Water-based epoxy flooring quotation: Zhejiang Jingfuxiang water-based epoxy curing agent, construction site ratio, lower cost, better results, more environmental protection, construction more labor-saving, want to know specific product information please scan the article below WeChat.

    Can, now there is a food-grade epoxy floor, water-based epoxy flooring (flooring water paint) can meet the requirements of
    18. Epoxy flooring acceptance standards
    a, the ambient temperature of 25 degrees C, 2-3 days after construction should reach the dry, that is, hardness reached about 80% of the completion of curing;
    b, surface can not appear sticky phenomenon;
    c, bubbles: flat coating type, mortar-type bubble-free, self-leveling allows 1 small bubble / 10 square meters;
    d, smoothness is good, no knife marks, large area interface is basically flat;
    e, no floating hair flowers, uniform color, large area interface allows a very un obvious color difference;
    f, no coarse impurities, but allows floating dust in the air to fall caused by the very small defects;
