JINYU PAINT® Water Based Epoxy Floor Coating

In factory workshops, underground parking lots, and hospitals, we will see a layer of floor coating for concrete on the floor. The main function of floor paint is to ensure the cleanliness of the floor, prevent the ground from slipping, and ensure wear resistance. There are various types of floor coatings on the market, and water-based floor paint is widely popular in the market. So, why do so many people choose water-based floor coating? Let’s learn about water-based floor paint.
Water-based floor coating uses:
1. Water-based epoxy resin floor coating has good performance and is often used on the floors of industrial sites.
2. Water-based floor paint can be used as wood floor coating: it can be made into varnish for wood floors, replacing the solvent-based polyurethane crystal floor paint widely used in the market; it can be made into colored paint to replace solvent-based epoxy resin floor paint and polyurethane enamel, and can be used in kitchens, furniture, mechanical equipment, etc.
3. Water-based floor paint is also used for building bonding and waterproofing, anti-corrosion treatment, as a concrete sealing primer and other purposes.
4. Water-based floor coating is used for anti-seepage of construction projects. Water-based epoxy resin floor paint has excellent mechanical properties and compatibility with cement. It is used to prepare high-strength concrete. Water-based epoxy resin floor paint is added to concrete or cement mortar as an auxiliary component and can improve the anti-seepage of concrete.
Advantages of water-based floor paint:
1. Water-based floor paint uses water as a diluent, which is pollution-free and meets environmental protection requirements. It is safe and non-flammable, and the safety during storage, transportation and use is guaranteed.
2. Water-based floor paint has very good adhesion to various cement substrates, and has very good chemical resistance and corrosion resistance to the cured coating film. The water-based floor paint coating has small shrinkage, high hardness and wear resistance.
3. Water-based floor coating can be used at room temperature and in a humid environment. The sealing primer has good permeability and strong adhesion to the cement substrate. It can seal the pores of the cement without cracking, bubbling or peeling, thus overcoming the weakness of solvent-based epoxy floor paint that is sensitive to water.
4. The price of water-based floor paint is very reasonable, and the construction performance is also good. Water can be directly added to adjust the construction viscosity. The construction tools can be directly cleaned with water. It is easy to use and has low coating cost.

Water-based Epoxy Floor Vs Oil-based Epoxy Floor

1. In terms of breathability
The water vapor diffusion coefficient of water-based epoxy coating is 23.500u H20, which has good air permeability, allowing the water vapor at and below the base layer to be discharged smoothly, which can completely solve the risk of blisters. It can be used in damp or humid environments without mold, and the anti-mildew level is the highest level 0.
Traditional solvent-based paints lack air permeability, which prevents water vapor from being discharged from the base layer and below, making blisters prone to occur. They cannot be used on wet or damp surfaces.
2. From the perspective of environmental protection
Water-based epoxy paint uses water as solvent, so the VOC content and heavy metal content are almost 0, there is almost no pungent smell, no environmental pollution, it is non-flammable, and there is no risk of explosion and oxidation. It is not a radioactive hazardous substance and is not a corrosive substance.
Solvent-based coatings generally use organic substances such as toluene or xylene as solvents, have a strong pungent odor, high VOC, and are highly polluting; they are flammable and explosive and are classified as dangerous goods.
3. In terms of construction period
Water-based epoxy flooring can be constructed 7 days after concrete pouring, even under high temperature conditions.
However, solvent-based traditional floor concrete can only be constructed 28 days after pouring, and the organic matter is highly volatile and pungent under high temperature conditions.
4. In terms of scope of application
Water-based epoxy flooring has a wide range of applications and can be used in various occasions.
However, the application scope of traditional solvent-based flooring is narrow. It cannot be used in closed or humid places and is prone to harm.
5. In terms of physical properties
The hardness of water-based epoxy floor can reach more than 2H, and it has the same or higher physical properties as oil-based epoxy, which is one of the most important characteristics of w
