"Epoxy, Paint &
Specialty Coatings"
Time-Tested Performance
Though epoxies are used as a
sealer or protective coating, they do no do their
job effectively. Epoxies do not penetrate and
lock into the surface leaving room for microscopic
pockets where oxidation (rusting) can occur. As
seen in the picture, epoxies eventually break
down and corrosion takes over.
Specialty coatings, though previously
widely accepted, are expensive and ineffective
in real long-term protection against corrosion
and abrasion control.
Other specialty coatings can
incur longer periods of downtime for customers
due to elaborate application methods, ventilation
requirement, and cleanup procedures.
Complications due to environmental
considerations such as ventilation, temperature,
and/or humidity are common with other "specialty
coatings."
Specialty coatings are also found
to wear off in high traffic situations. Many specialty
coatings simply sit on the surface and do not
penetrate far enough to provide a lasting bond.
The picture on the left is an example of a specialty
coating peeling off a parkade floor. This parking
structure has many of these patches and will eventually
require more repairs and added cost.
