WHY CHOOSE SUPER FLOOR EPOXY COATINGS?
Less prep-work:
Sanding, grinding and blasting are not typically required with Super
Floor Coatings products which save the user considerable time and
money. However, extensive and very careful prep-work is
required with most 100% solids and typical water-based epoxy floor
coatings. Why? There is no vehicle (solvent) present. The
concrete
floor coating industry refers to solvents as the vehicle,
because this key ingredient transports concrete coating resins into
a porous substrate. Without a vehicle present concrete floor coating
resins sit on top of the surface without penetrating making adhesion
uncertain. Super Floor Concrete Coatings include this key
ingredient, ensuring adhesion, without sanding, grinding or blasting
in most instances. Once the resins have penetrated the surface it
becomes part of the matrix making adhesion permanent. Typically,
when epoxy coatings are sound, without significant contamination,
make needed repairs, clean with TS-695 Etching Cleaner, allow to dry
thoroughly and roll epoxy coating on - it’s that easy. No sanding,
grinding or blasting required is required with Super Floor cement
paint products.
Ease of application:
Contractors love installing Super-Floor Concrete Coating floor epoxy
products because they get in and out faster, with less prep-work,
which adds up to higher profit margins. There’s no expensive time
consuming training required, no training video, no floor epoxy
spiked shoes or squeegees involved. Since anyone that can operate a
paint roller can apply Super Floor concrete paint products
application is quick and easy. Facility Maintenance managers like
Super Floor Concrete epoxy products because they know they can do it
themselves with less prep-work and without training. Consumers
prefer Super Floor concrete epoxy products because they get
professional quality results without the expense of hiring a
contractor. Non-slip floor aggregate additives are often added to
our epoxy paints producing a non slip floor quickly and easily. Non-slip floor concrete paint doesn’t come quicker or easier!
Coating over existing epoxy floor coating systems:
Super Floor Epoxy products
are acceptable for use over existing concrete epoxy floor coatings
when they are in sound condition, without loss of adhesion present
and are properly prepared. With that said best results will always
be obtained by removing existing epoxy floor coatings, and urethane
concrete coatings, because the most recently applied floor epoxy
only adheres as well as what’s under it. However, Super Floor
coating products are often applied directly to a wide variety of
existing industrial floor coatings, epoxy garage floor coatings, and
similar floor paint systems without removal, primer or extensive
prep-work.
Unequaled performance:
Why
bother talking about epoxy coating hardness, chemical resistance or
color and gloss retention if the concrete epoxy floor coating you
choose won’t adhere? Epoxy floor coating resins
must penetrate concrete for proper adhesion. Consumer, Commercial
and Industrial epoxy floor coatings, virtually all liquid epoxy
floor coating systems have three key ingredients including resin,
colorant and vehicle. This key ingredient allows the resins
to be at a viscosity which allows them to flow and to penetrate
surfaces such as concrete. However, with 100% solids epoxy floors
this key ingredient is missing! The bond cannot be permanent unless
the resins penetrate the surface. No vehicle means uncertain
adhesion. All Super Floor Epoxy Coatings are colorfast and gloss
retentive. Only the highest quality industrial colorants are used
which produce longer lasting color and gloss retention in our
urethane and epoxy floor coatings. Our Heavy-Duty Floor Coating
system is guaranteed to withstand heat to 500F and withstand spilled
fuel or battery acid for seven days with little or no effect. All
Super Floor Epoxy Coating products are submersible. Some serve
double-duty as swimming pool and pond paints as seen on our website
at
www.lifeguardpaint.com. TS-100 1-Part Epoxy Floor Paint can be
seen on this website labeled as TS-710 Silicone Epoxy, where it
carries a seven-year pool guarantee. Similarly TS-200 Mono-Epoxy
Floor Paint identified there as TS-730 Mono-Epoxy carries a ten year
pool guarantee. Outstanding performance by any measure!
Industrial and commercial epoxy floors: Industrial concrete epoxy floor
paint and coating systems often must withstand motorized traffic,
high heat, spilled fuel and corrosive chemicals. Epoxy floors
present in commercial applications often are expected to withstand
standing water, grease, oil and a variety of harsh cleaning agents.
All Super Floor epoxy floors are durable enough to withstand the
harshest commercial or industrial venue without failure –
guaranteed. This guarantee applies even to those categorized under
the classification garage floor coating or basement floor paint
products for consumer use! You know you are getting the best when
you choose Super Floor Coating products for your commercial or
industrial floor coating needs.
Garage floor Epoxy Coating and basement floor paints:
Basement epoxy floors often
experience hydrostatic pressure, mold, mildew and water intrusion.
Only Super Floor coating epoxy paint systems offer guaranteed resistance to water intrusion and
long term submersion! Garage floor coating systems are often
expected to withstand harsh chemicals, water intrusion, high heat
and heavy traffic. Super Floor Coating concrete floor paint product
withstand heavy traffic, harsh chemicals and standing water without
loss of adhesion, color or gloss! Garage
floor epoxy coating and basement floor paints must be barriers to
moisture and water vapors or mold and mildew will be experienced.
Super Floor Coating systems are concrete sealers that prevent the
movement of water preventing mold and mildew.
Garage floor paint products do not come any more durable than this!
Concrete Sealers:
Typical acrylic concrete sealers are not waterproof, have poor UV
resistance, scuff and mar resistance. Super Floor Coatings concrete
sealers feature high adhesion, outstanding UV resistance and are
fully waterproof. Hardware store garage
floor epoxy coating systems feature acrylic epoxy blend formulas
that offer poor adhesion, chemical and wear resistance. Concrete
sealers applied in exterior applications are subject to UV rays that
quickly cause acrylic and epoxy paint to chalk and discolor. Super
Floor Two Component Urethane (TS-2) retains its color and gloss
better than 100% solids epoxy paint indoors or outdoors. Don’t rely
on big box store cement paint get the job done right!
Less expense:
Many
two component epoxy floor and cement paint products have short pot
lives. Countless epoxy paints must be applied within 10 minutes or
the material becomes unusable. The cost of lost material due to
short pot life of two component epoxy paints must be factored into
the cost of your project. Whether it be an industrial floor coating
or garage floor epoxy application you can expect lower material
coats and less work when choosing Super Floor Coatings.
Made in The U.S.A.:
Many 100% solids epoxy floor coatings are cheaply made Chinese
imports. We are amazed to see extended, even lifetime warranties on
imported epoxy floor paint! Not so with Super Floor paints! All of
our floor paints are made right here in the U.S.A. You can bet that
if it doesn’t say MADE IN THE U.S.A. it’s probably a cheap import.
