Which type of epoxy colored sand floor coating is more environmentally friendly?
Sep 04, 2025
Comparative Analysis of the Environmental Performance of Epoxy Colored Sand Floor Coatings:
1. Environmental Performance Comparison
Water-Based Epoxy Colored Sand
Using water as the dispersion medium, it has an extremely low VOC content (formaldehyde emission is only 0.02 mg/m³).
Contains no harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene, and has virtually no irritating odor during application.
Especially suitable for environments with high environmental requirements, such as children's rooms and elderly care rooms.
Solvent-Free Epoxy Colored Sand
Contains no organic solvents and releases no harmful substances after curing.
Suitable for use in environments with strict hygiene requirements, such as pharmaceuticals and food services.
Oil-Based Epoxy Colored Sand
Contains organic solvents such as toluene and xylene, resulting in poor environmental performance.
Ensure adequate ventilation during application; trace residues may remain after curing.
2.Buying Tips
Preferred Choices
Water-based or solvent-free products (most environmentally friendly)
Look for environmental certifications (such as FDA, Green Building Materials Certification)
Cautions
Oil-based products are not recommended for use in confined spaces
Avoid low-priced, low-quality products (which may not meet environmental standards)
Application Precautions
Water-based products require ventilation for 48 hours after application.
Oil-based products require protective gear for application workers.
