water based epoxy floor coating manufacturer

In the field of architectural decoration and industrial flooring, water-based epoxy self-leveling paint has become an ideal choice for many projects with its unique advantages. The following is a detailed introduction to this product from multiple dimensions. ​ Environmental protection characteristics Low VOC emissions: Using water as a diluent, it abandons organic solvents such as benzene, toluene, and xylene, and there is almost no irritating odor during the construction process. According to the test of authoritative institutions, its VOC content is far lower than the national standard. When used in home decoration, it can effectively avoid indoor air pollution caused by the volatilization of harmful gases from paint, and protect the health of the family. In places such as hospitals and schools that have strict requirements on air quality, water-based epoxy self-leveling paint also fully meets environmental protection standards and will not have adverse effects on sensitive people. ​ Sustainable development: The production process follows the green concept, from the selection of raw materials to the optimization of production processes, it is committed to reducing the load on the environment. The use of this product is in line with the current trend of the construction industry to transform into a low-carbon and environmentally friendly one, helping the project obtain green building certification.​ Performance Advantages​ Excellent leveling: The special formula gives it excellent leveling performance. During construction, the paint automatically flows on the ground like a liquid mirror, forming a smooth and seamless coating. Taking the underground garage of a large commercial complex as an example, after using water-based epoxy self-leveling paint, the flatness of the ground is greatly improved, which is not only visually beautiful and atmospheric, but also reduces the bumpy feeling when the vehicle is driving. At the same time, the smooth surface also reduces the adhesion of dust and stains, making cleaning work easy and efficient. ​ High hardness and wear resistance: The coating has high hardness and can withstand frequent human and logistics rolling. In industrial plants, forklifts and heavy equipment operate for a long time, and ordinary floor coatings are prone to scratches and wear. The coating formed by water-based epoxy self-leveling paint can effectively resist such wear. After testing, under normal use, its wear life can reach 5-8 years, greatly reducing the maintenance cost and frequency of the ground. ​ Excellent corrosion resistance: It has strong chemical corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and salts. In the workshop of a chemical plant, various chemical reagents may spill on the ground. This paint can protect the ground substrate from corrosion, maintain the stability of the floor structure, and extend the service life. At the same time, in a humid environment, it is not easy to peel or fall off, and has good moisture-proof performance. ​ Construction points​ Surface treatment: Before construction, the surface must be flat, dry, oil-free, and dust-free. For uneven floors, a grinder should be used for grinding; places with cracks or holes should be filled with repair materials to make them flat. For example, in the renovation project of old factory buildings, there are a lot of cracks and sanding on the ground. After thorough grinding and repair, the adhesion and overall effect of the subsequent coating can be guaranteed. ​ Paint preparation: Strictly prepare the paint according to the proportion specified in the product manual, and fully stir the main agent and curing agent. The stirring time is generally not less than 5 minutes to ensure uniform mixing and avoid degradation of coating performance due to improper preparation. ​ Multi-layer construction process: Usually, primer, mid-coat, and topcoat are used for multi-layer construction. The primer seals the base surface and enhances adhesion; the midcoat increases the coating thickness and improves wear resistance and compression resistance. Generally, quartz sand is applied by scraping or troweling according to actual needs; the topcoat gives the floor the final decorative and protective effect. After each layer of construction is completed, it is necessary to wait for the coating to completely dry and solidify (the drying time varies depending on the ambient temperature and humidity, generally 24-48 hours) before the next layer can be constructed .

In today's pursuit of green environmental protection and high-performance materials, water-based acrylic floor paint has gradually become the preferred solution for floor coating in industrial, commercial and outdoor places with its unique advantages. This article will comprehensively analyze its performance characteristics, application scenarios, construction technology and precautions to help you gain a deeper understanding of this innovative material. 1. The core advantages of water-based acrylic floor paint Environmentally friendly and non-toxic Water is used as a diluent, no curing agent is required, the volatile organic compound (VOC) content is extremely low, there is no odor during the construction process, and it is harmless to the human body and the environment. Excellent weather resistance It is resistant to ultraviolet rays and rain erosion, and can maintain color stability after long-term exposure to the outdoors. It is suitable for open-air places such as stadiums and pedestrian walkways. High wear resistance and impact resistance The paint film has high hardness (up to H grade) and excellent wear resistance (1000g/10000 turn loss ≤0.1g). It can withstand frequent mechanical friction and heavy impact, and is suitable for high-load environments such as workshops and parking lots. Convenient construction Single-component design, no need to adjust the proportion, simple construction process, fast drying speed (surface drying ≤ 0.5 hours, actual drying ≤ 6 hours), saving time and cost. Both decorative and functional Rich colors, smooth and easy to clean surface, and can also improve gloss and waterproof performance through topcoat to meet the aesthetic and practical needs of different scenes. 2.Applicable scenarios: multi-field coverage from industry to life Sports venues: such as basketball courts and tennis courts, providing a comfortable sports experience with anti-slip cushioning. Outdoor public areas: children's playgrounds, community trails, weather resistance to ensure long-term use. Industrial and commercial places: workshops, warehouses, parking lots, wear resistance and pressure resistance to extend the life of the ground. Special environments: hospitals, schools and other places that require antibacterial and mildew resistance, easy to clean properties to maintain hygiene. 3. Detailed explanation of construction process The construction of water-based acrylic floor paint must strictly follow the steps to ensure the final effect: Base treatment The new floor needs to be maintained for 28 days, remove dust and oil (can be cleaned with thinner water), and ensure that the base surface is dry (water content ≤6%) and flat (voids ≤2.5mm). If the base surface is too alkaline, it needs to be neutralized by pickling with 5%~8% hydrochloric acid. Primer construction Roll or brush the sealing primer, and cover it with a thin coating (6-8㎡/kg) to enhance the adhesion of the base surface. Middle coating construction The topcoat is mixed with 80-100 mesh quartz sand and scraped with a thickness of 0.3-0.5mm, and polished to improve the pressure resistance. Topcoat construction Roll or scrape the topcoat in two times (4-5㎡/kg) to ensure uniform color and no missing coating. Topcoat (optional) Spray silicone acrylic topcoat to improve brightness and stain resistance, with a dosage of about 6㎡/kg. 4.Key construction precautions Environmental requirements: Construction temperature ≥10℃, humidity ≤90%, avoid working in the sun or rainy days. Curation cycle: The topcoat needs to be dried for 24 hours before people can go on it, and it will be completely cured after 7 days. The curing time needs to be extended in low temperature environments. Safety protection: When handling old coatings, it is necessary to prevent lead dust from being inhaled, and pregnant women should avoid contact. 5.Comparison with epoxy floor paint Water-based acrylic floor paint is superior to epoxy floor paint in outdoor weather resistance, environmental protection and construction convenience, but epoxy paint is more outstanding in chemical corrosion resistance and gloss. Therefore, the former is more suitable for outdoor and high humidity environments, while the latter is suitable for indoor precision places.

With the tightening of global environmental protection policies and the awakening of consumers' health awareness, water-based epoxy floor paint is standing out from traditional floor coatings with its low VOC, non-toxic and environmentally friendly characteristics.   The "dual engine" of environmental protection policies and market demand Policy dividends continue to be released China's "dual carbon" goals and global environmental protection policies such as the EU REACH regulations force the paint industry to reduce VOC emissions. The VOC content of waterborne epoxy floor paint is only 1/10 of that of traditional solvent-based products, making it a key target of policy support. Many places in China impose consumption taxes on high-pollution coatings (such as a tax rate of 4% for coatings with a VOC content of ＞420g/L), which further accelerates the replacement process of waterborne products.  

Although oil-based floor paint has excellent performance, its environmental issues are becoming the main bottleneck of development. The following is an analysis of its challenges and transformation directions: 1. Environmental shortcomings: VOC and health risks Oil-based paint uses toluene and xylene as solvents, and releases a large amount of irritating odors and harmful gases (such as formaldehyde) during construction. Long-term exposure may cause respiratory diseases. A typical case is that the garage of a residential community in Shenzhen used solvent-based floor paint, which caused collective discomfort to the owners and was eventually forced to replace it with water-soluble paint. 2. Policy restrictions and market shrinkage Many places have issued policies to restrict the use of solvent-based paints (such as Shenzhen’s ban since 2015), pushing the industry to transform to water-based paint. The flammability of oil-based paint also increases storage and transportation risks. 3. Alternatives: The rise of water-based paint Water-based paint uses water as a solvent, has extremely low VOC emissions, and has a hardness of up to 4H (higher than 2H for oil-based paint), achieving a balance between wear resistance and environmental protection. Some construction teams adopt the "water-bottom oil-surface" strategy to combine the advantages of both to reduce costs. 4. The future of oil-based paint: technical improvement and scene segmentation Low-VOC formula research and development: Develop products that meet the new national standards by reducing the proportion of harmful solvents; Special scene retention: such as extreme wear resistance requirements or temporary projects, still relying on the performance advantages of oil-based paint
