4. Self-leveling epoxy floor construction process
Step 1: Grind and smooth the floor surface Use an industrial floor grinder to grind the entire floor surface to be applied. Then use a vacuum cleaner to clean. And check the humidity of the floor surface. This step helps the surface to have better roughness and adhesion when applying epoxy paint. Use a strong floor cleaner to remove any chemicals, dirt, or oils that may interfere with proper bonding. Step 2: Treat the floor surface Use specialized epoxy to conduct plastering, patching all cracks, open on the surface of the concrete floor. For convex defects, it is necessary to use a flat grinding machine and then apply the mattite. If the surface has many cracks, it is necessary to widen the cracks. After that, it will be repaired to make the concrete floor as flat as possible. Step 3: Apply primer layer After the concrete floor surface is treated flat and clean, dry, it is necessary to apply primer. Mix the primer by machine and then pour it directly onto the surface. This primer helps to harden the surface and increase the bond between the floor and the topcoat. Step 4: Apply self-leveling epoxy coating Mix the self-leveling epoxy paint with a mixer in the standard ratio then pour
