To achieve superior concrete preparation and ensure optimal epoxy adhesion, we utilize a range of specialized, industrial-grade equipment designed for efficiency and safety. Our professional toolkit includes:
- Industrial Diamond Grinders: We use grinders equipped with rotating discs and specific diamond grits (ranging from coarse 30/40 metal-bond to fine 3000 resin-bond). These tools refine the surface and create the mechanical “tooth” or Concrete Surface Profile (CSP) required for a permanent bond.
- Shot Blasting Equipment: For large-scale industrial or warehouse floors, we deploy shot blasting to propel steel shot at high velocities. This is highly effective for aggressive material removal and efficient profiling of large areas.
- Scarifiers: When a project requires deeper profile creation or the removal of heavy surface build-up, we use scarifying equipment with rotating cutting wheels to fracture and strip surface layers.
- HEPA-Filtered Dust Extraction Systems: Safety is a priority, so we connect our grinding and blasting equipment directly to HEPA-filtered vacuums. these systems capture 99.97% of hazardous silica dust particles down to 0.3 microns, ensuring a clean workspace and compliance with environmental regulations.
- V-Grooving Tools: For damaged slabs, we use specialized tools to V-groove cracks. This allows patching compounds to penetrate deeply and form a mechanical lock, restoring the floor’s integrity before the final coating is applied.
