Epoxy self-leveling building coatings are made from epoxy resin glue and specialized epoxy hardeners, combined with various additives, color pastes, fillers, etc. It not only has excellent chemical properties such as moisture resistance, oil stain resistance, and solvent corrosion resistance, but also has advantages such as good adhesion, high impact toughness, and low shrinkage rate of the cured paint layer. It can form a thick film in one application, making epoxy self-leveling widely used in the scraping of industrial floors. Epoxy self-leveling coatings have ductility, wear resistance, good chemical resistance, and non-combustibility; the surface of epoxy self-leveling is neat and clean, with good decorative art, meeting cleanliness requirements. Epoxy self-leveling has high adhesion, strong impact toughness, and good electrical properties.
Epoxy self-leveling issues:
1. The floor is damp and cold, leading to bacterial growth. After prolonged dampness, the floor may turn black due to bacteria. The main reason for the dampness is that the underlying layer beneath the floor does not effectively isolate internal moisture, causing the floor to be in contact with a damp base for a long time. Epoxy self-leveling can effectively solve these problems due to its low moisture content and fast drying advantages. Therefore, laying wooden floors on the self-leveling base can significantly reduce dampness.
2. The floor swells and warps. Due to the characteristics of the wood, the floor swells after prolonged dampness, especially in partially damp conditions, leading to misalignment due to mutual compression of the floors. Self-leveling solutions will prevent this phenomenon, avoiding dampness on the floor, and due to its good flatness, uniformity, and smoothness, it prevents partial dampness of the floor.
3. Noise when stepping on the floor. After using wooden floors for a period, noise and a floating sensation may occur, known as the unevenness of the floor. First, the height difference on the ground is mainly due to uneven polishing of the base under the floor, leading to floating after prolonged stepping. Second, the hollow phenomenon is mainly caused by the weak connection between the floor and the base. The leveling effect provided by self-leveling can address the height difference and the floating phenomenon caused by the substrate.
4. Floor gaps and cracks. In recent years, the application of locking technology in floor panel technology has been widely used, closely connecting floor panels. However, when the floor panels warp due to dampness, it can also cause deformation or even cracking of the locks. If a good self-leveling solution is applied to prevent moisture return, the grooves between the floors will maintain good sealing.
5. Skirting boards have system gaps. If the floor is installed using a floating method, the connection between the skirting board and the edge of the floor is inevitable. Due to the vulnerability of the base in floating installation, gaps can easily occur between the floor and the skirting board, leading to a series of safety hazards such as water retention and construction dust. Therefore, solid self-leveling can play a stabilizing role, and will not cause the floor to sink over time, thus naturally preventing gaps between the skirting board and the floor.
6. Large-scale bulging of the floor. Large-scale bubbling and partial bubbling are caused by different types of reasons, with poor quality concrete layering leading to large-scale bubbling being difficult to prevent and maintain. Better quality cement provides a good foundation, and solid self-leveling can ensure the stability of the substrate, preventing ground issues caused by seismic fractures in the substrate.
