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/concrete
floor coating 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 concrete
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 concrete floor 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 concrete
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
concrete 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 Concrete Coating and
basement floor paints: Basement epoxy floors often
experience hydrostatic pressure, mold, mildew and water intrusion.
Only Super Floor epoxy concrete floor coating 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 concrete floor coating paint product will stand heavy
traffic, harsh chemicals and standing water without loss of
adhesion, color or gloss! Garage epoxy
floor coating and basement concrete 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 concrete
floor coating 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 concrete floor
coating 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 coating 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 concrete 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.
