Flooring Epoxy Coatings It may look like paint going on but epoxy flooring isn’t paint. It’s a robust and versatile flooring system created when resin and a hardener are combined and chemically react to form an ultra-strong plastic material. Epoxy floor coatings bond with the concrete substrate to create a floor that’s stronger than concrete itself. Epoxy is so strong that it’s frequently used in high-demand industrial applications. Because it resists damage and degradation from everything from heavy loads and vehicle traffic to spills and chemicals, it’s the ideal floor system for almost every application.
