Floors are very important in buildings. They provide different storeys; provide us with a structure upon which to place important items in order to help us build u buildings. To ensure that floors are able to last without being damaged for as long as possible, coatings are applied. There are many different types of coatings but the main ones are Epoxy based, Polyurethane based or Ceramic Base. The different types will have different areas in which they are suited to, e.g. are they suited to be an Industrial Floor Coating or a Commercial Coating.
Epoxy Coatings come in a huge range of finishes, colours and uses with a large number of different applications. Epoxy is a Thermosetting Polymer that has two main parts to it: Polyamine and the Epoxide Resin. This is often the choice for Industrial Floor coating as it provides a very tough surface that I very durable with high heat resistance. Furthermore, different colours are available, and it is also rust resistant, waterproof and impermeable to chemical such as acid. It is also very easy to apply to rough, uneven or broken surfaces as it can act as both filler and a coating. Different types of Epoxy Paints are used in different Industrial Settings. Self-Dispersing is used where Lorries and forklifts work for example in a warehouse whereas Self Dispersing with quartz is used in areas where there is worries about slips and trips. Anti-Static types are used in various settings where there is a lot of electrical equipment and Mortar Epoxy Paint can be used to fill in any cracks or gaps in a current layer of flooring to build a foundation for the next layer of paints.
Overall, a 100 % solid Epoxy paint will be used in Industrial areas as this percentage is the most strong. The other two categories are Solvent and Water Based Epoxy Coatings and these have different uses due to their different properties.
Polyurethane is very hard and durable, much like Epoxy paints, however, when subjected to shock or intense heat, they will fracture and white patches will be left. This is why they are not often used in industry where harsher environments will be the norm. Generally, these are applied to wood flooring, another reason why Epoxy based paint are often used in industry (Many Factories have concrete floors).

In my opinion, Epoxy Coating is suitable to be used as floor coating because the Epoxy Coating have a very hard and durable surfaces. Additionally, Epoxy Coating is resistant to water, corrosion, and chemical liquids such as acids. Epoxy has some kind of paint, including Self-Dispering, Anti-Static, and Mortar Epoxy Paint.
Self-Dispersing is used where Lorries and Forklifts work for examplein a warehouse where as Self-Dispersing with quartz is used in areas where there is worries about slips and trips.
Anti-Static Various types are used in settings wherethere is a lot of electrical equipment.
While the Paint Epoxy Mortar can be used to fillin any cracks or gaps in a current layer of flooring is to build a foundation for the next layer of paints.
100% Solid Epoxy paint will be used in industrial areas as this percentage is the most strong. The other two categories are Solvent and WaterBased Epoxy Coatings and these have different uses due to Their different properties.
Considering to the article that Polyurethane is very hard and durable, much like Epoxy paints, however, when subjected to shock or intense heat, they will fracture and white patches will be left.
It can be concluded that there are many different types of floor coating and it is important to choose the correct type to ensure that the most suitable and cost effective solution is found.
