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).
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.

In my opinion, the determination of epoxy coating for flooring industry has been good, because if the selection of good quality paint and in accordance with professional applicators will give the results of painting the floor that looks perfect. Taking advantage of scratch resistant epoxy paint also makes the cost of production is not much, because a durable floor and reduces the risk of damage if passed by a heavy object, with the addition of a layer of epoxy paint on the floor makes the floor to be more healthy (hygine ) because of the lack of connection (seamless), which is where the growth of fungi and bacteria proliferation, as well as decorative floor look more beautiful, with a choice of colors that can be tailored to the function room / floor and ease of care, because it makes the floor easier to clean.For the polyurethane on wood floors are also very nice because very appropriate. Polyurethane materials are easily broken when exposed to excessive heat is certainly not suitable for industrial areas, making it more suitable for use on wood floors that regular use for home d, etc., so it looks beautiful.
