100% solids epoxy coatings offer superior durability and protection for heavy-duty industrial floors, especially in the demanding climates of Alberta and British Columbia. Unlike water-based or solvent-based alternatives, these systems contain no volatile solvents or water, meaning they do not shrink during the curing process. This results in a dense, high-build finish that provides flawless finishes your business deserves.
The primary benefits for industrial environments include:
- Superior Durability: Because the coating can be applied at a substantial thickness (typically 1/8 to 1/4 inch per coat), it creates a seamless, non-porous barrier that withstands heavy forklift traffic, machinery loads, and impact from dropped tools.
- Chemical and Moisture Resistance: The monolithic surface is impervious to oils, greases, de-icing salts, and harsh chemicals. When combined with a moisture vapor barrier, it also protects against delamination caused by moisture transmission through the concrete slab.
- Zero VOCs: As a solvent-free system, 100% solids epoxy has zero VOC emissions, making it safer for indoor applications and high-demand facilities.
- Low Maintenance: The smooth, non-porous surface is easy to clean with mild detergents and requires no additional waxing or sealing, which significantly reduces long-term operational costs.

How do Moisture Vapor Barriers Prevent Epoxy Floor Failure?
Read More »Moisture vapor barriers prevent epoxy floor failure by forming a seamless, non-porous membrane that blocks water vapor from rising through the naturally porous concrete slab. Because concrete acts like a wick, drawing moisture from the ground, untreated slabs allow vapor to migrate upward and condense directly beneath the epoxy film. Without a barrier, this trapped […]

Why is Moisture Testing Important before Applying Epoxy?
Read More »Moisture testing is a critical first step because concrete is naturally porous, acting like a wick that draws moisture up from the ground. If this moisture is trapped under an impermeable coating without being properly addressed, it creates pressure that can cause the epoxy to blister, peel, and delaminate, leading to a total floor failure. […]

Why is a Uv Stable Topcoat Necessary for Outdoor Epoxy Projects?
Read More »A UV-stable topcoat is essential for outdoor epoxy projects because standard epoxy coatings are inherently vulnerable to ultraviolet (UV) degradation. When exposed to direct sunlight over extended periods, traditional epoxy undergoes a photochemical reaction that causes visible damage, including chalking (the development of a powdery residue on the surface) and yellowing or amber discoloration. To […]

How does Polyaspartic Compare to Epoxy for Sun Exposure?
Read More »Polyaspartic coatings are significantly more UV-stable than standard epoxy. While standard epoxy is prone to rapid UV degradation when exposed to the intense sun found in Alberta, polyaspartic formulations use aliphatic chemistry that resists yellowing and chalking at the molecular level. When comparing the two for sun exposure, we have found that polyaspartic topcoats offer […]
