FS33 Self-Leveling Heavy-duty Epoxy Floor Coating 

3-Layer Epoxy floor coating | 2.0 mm - 3.0 mm thick | Industrial grade

A high-performance, solvent-free, industrial-grade flooring system with excellent chemical resistance, durability, and gloss designed for industrial applications. Carmacoat FS33 Self-leveling heavy-duty epoxy flooring systems are well-known in the warehouse and food service industries. It involves combining two types of liquid resin (equal parts) such that once mixed they form a hard uninterrupted surface. What makes the product unique is its ability to spread out uniformly upon contact with any surface hence making it look smooth without too much effort on the part of the person coating it on different floors (i.e., Warehouse, Palletizing area, Pharmaceutical  and commercial space, etc.)

Floor Coating System

Applying a self-leveling epoxy floor coating involves several steps to ensure a smooth, durable finish.

• Surface Preparation: A crucial step to ensure proper adhesion and performance of the epoxy coating. It typically involves cleaning the floor thoroughly to remove any dirt, grease, or contaminants. In some cases, mechanical preparation such as grinding or shot blasting might be necessary to roughen the surface and improve adhesion.

• Epoxy Primer/ Sealer:  Apply Primer or Sealer coat to enhance adhesion and substrate penetration. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for primer selection and application. Allow the primer to cure according to the recommended time before proceeding.

• Silica Sand Full Broadcast:  Full sand broadcast is done to provide additional durability and floor thickness. Broadcast the sand on the wet epoxy primer to allow it to be embedded in the layer. This must be done within 20 minutes of the primer application before the primer has reached later stages of curing. Allow a minimum of four hours of curing before applying another epoxy layer.

• Intermediate coat:  It serves as a bonding bridge, providing enhanced adhesion, sealing minor imperfections, and building thickness. This coat acts as a barrier against moisture transmission and can improve chemical resistance and overall durability.

• Self-Leveling Topcoat: For the main layer, self-leveling top coat liquid formulation is designed to flow and level out on its own, creating a smooth and seamless surface without the need for troweling or additional leveling techniques. Self-leveling epoxies offer excellent durability, chemical resistance, and ease of maintenance.  The topcoat can help prolong the life of the epoxy floor and enhance its appearance.

Benefits

Self-leveling epoxy floor coatings offer a range of benefits that make them a popular choice for various applications:

• Seamless Surface: One of the primary advantages of self-leveling epoxy floor coatings is that they create a seamless surface when applied correctly. This eliminates joints, seams, and grout lines, which not only enhances the appearance but also makes the floor easier to clean and maintain.




• Durability: Epoxy coatings are highly durable and resistant to chemicals, abrasion, impact, and heavy foot traffic. This durability makes them suitable for industrial, commercial, and residential settings where floors are subjected to constant wear and tear.




• Versatility: Self-leveling epoxy floor coatings come in a wide range of colors, finishes, and textures, allowing for customization to match the desired aesthetic of the space. They can also be applied over various substrates, including concrete, wood, and metal, making them versatile for different applications.




• Chemical Resistance: Epoxy coatings are resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, alkalis, solvents, and oils. This chemical resistance makes them suitable for use in environments where exposure to harsh chemicals is common, such as laboratories, manufacturing facilities, and food processing plants.




• Hygiene and Cleanliness: The seamless and non-porous nature of epoxy floors makes them resistant to bacteria, mold, and mildew growth. Additionally, they are easy to clean and sanitize, making them suitable for environments where hygiene is crucial, such as hospitals, pharmaceutical facilities, and food preparation areas.




• Safety: Many self-leveling epoxy floor coatings can be formulated with additives to improve slip resistance, enhancing safety in areas where spills or wet conditions are a concern. Additionally, they can be customized with markings, signage, or color-coding to designate specific areas or pathways for improved safety and organization.




• Fast Installation: Self-leveling epoxy floor coatings can be applied relatively quickly compared to other flooring options. Once mixed and poured, they self-level to create a smooth surface, reducing installation time and minimizing downtime for businesses or homeowners.




• Longevity: Properly installed and maintained, epoxy floor coatings can last for many years without the need for replacement. This longevity makes them a cost-effective flooring solution over the long term.
