Key properties and testing methods of epoxy floor coatings

Epoxy resin floor coating is a kind of coating applied to the ground, mainly composed of epoxy resin, curing agent, filler and solvent. They can be applied to all kinds of ground, such as factories, parking lots, shopping malls, hospitals, schools, etc., with wear-resistant, dust-proof, anti-corrosion, easy to clean and other characteristics, while improving the appearance and service life of the ground. Epoxy floor coating has the advantages of high strength, high wear resistance, high adhesion, and can withstand heavy loads and high traffic flow, which is suitable for various commercial and industrial sites.

Key properties and testing methods of epoxy floor coatings

Testing steps:

Thickness: Use a thickness meter to measure the thickness of the epoxy floor coating, record the measured value and calculate the average value.

Hardness: The hardness of the epoxy floor coating was measured using a Pasteurizer, and the measured value was recorded and the average value was calculated.

Compressive strength: Compression tests were performed using a compression testing machine, test data were recorded and compressive strength was calculated.

Wear resistance: Wear tests were carried out using a wear testing machine, test data were recorded and wear resistance was calculated.

Bond strength: Shear tests were performed using a shear strength tester, test data were recorded and bond strength was calculated.

Expansion coefficient: Use thermal expansion coefficient tester to measure the expansion coefficient of epoxy floor coating, record the measured value and calculate the average value.

Chemical resistance: Use chemical tester to test the chemical resistance of epoxy floor coating.

Water resistance: Place the epoxy floor paint in water using a water circulation device, record time and observe the change of the coating.
