How to find a quality epoxy paint product?
High solid content
The solid percentage of your epoxy coating is a factor detemines the durability and productivity of floor coating. Because the higher of solid percentage that the epoxy coating has, the the closer the chemical connection of molecules in resin. Epoxy coating is thick and has high antibateria. Therefore, you should carefully consider solid content in the product’s specification before choosing.
Coating thickness
Epoxy paint has thickness from 1mm – 3mm, due to types of paint. Therefore, you should consider about construction process, as well as coating system are designed by manufacturer. With 1-component paint lines, contain epoxy, the paint membrane is thinner and easier to abrade. Construction process is simple but does not bring high efficiency during use.
