oil based epoxy floor paint

As a traditional floor coating, oil-based floor paint still occupies an important position in specific fields due to its unique properties. The following is an analysis of its core advantages and applicable scenarios: 1. Excellent physical properties Due to the addition of organic curing agent, the paint film hardness of oil-based floor paint can reach a high level (such as 2H standard), and its wear resistance and compression resistance are particularly outstanding, which is suitable for heavy-duty industrial areas such as logistics warehouses, mechanical workshops, etc. Its high-gloss surface can also enhance the beauty of the floor and is suitable for commercial spaces that require visual effects. 2. Mature technology and construction experience After years of development, the construction process of oil-based paint has been widely mastered. Experienced construction teams can complete the coating quickly and have more flexibility in handling complex base surfaces. 3. High cost-effectiveness In terms of material cost, oil-based paint is usually lower than water-based floor paint, especially the topcoat part. For projects with limited budgets and low environmental requirements, oil-based paint is more economical. 4. Stable chemical resistance Oil-based paint has strong tolerance to oil and chemical solvents, and is suitable for environments that are easily exposed to corrosive substances, such as auto repair shops and chemical plants. 5. Irreplaceable application scenarios Although environmental protection policies are becoming stricter, oil-based paint is still irreplaceable in the following scenarios: Environment with high humidity or large temperature difference: Oil-based paint has strong penetration and can adapt to some wet base surfaces. Short-term high-frequency use requirements: such as temporary exhibition halls or rapid renovation projects, because it can be put into use after drying.

Compared with oil-based epoxy floor paint, water-based epoxy floor paint has the following advantages:   ‌Better environmental protection‌: Water-based epoxy floor paint uses water as solvent, does not contain harmful substances, is non-toxic and odorless, does not volatilize pungent odor, and has less harm to the environment and human health‌. Oil-based epoxy floor paint uses organic solvents, which will release irritating odors during construction and are toxic substances. They are flammable and explosive items during transportation‌.   ‌Wider scope of application‌: Water-based epoxy floor paint can be used in humid environments and is suitable for underground parking lots, hospitals, schools and other places‌. Oil-based epoxy floor paint requires a dry construction environment and is not suitable for humid places‌.   ‌Better air permeability and moisture resistance‌: Water-based epoxy floor paint has good air permeability, can adapt to slight changes in the base layer, is not prone to blistering, cracking and other problems, and is suitable for damp or re-humid environments‌. Oil-based epoxy floor paint is permeable Poor air resistance, prone to blistering, delamination and other quality problems due to moisture in the base layer ‌.   ‌Higher construction efficiency ‌: Water-based epoxy floor paint primer and midcoat can be diluted with water, which is relatively simple to construct, and the ingredients are not very thick, so the construction efficiency is high ‌. ‌Although the construction process of oil-based epoxy floor paint is proficient, it has high requirements for the construction team and rich experience in handling on-site construction problems ‌.   ‌Excellent physical properties ‌: The hardness of water-based epoxy floor paint can reach more than 2H, and it has the same or higher physical properties as oil-based epoxy ‌. ‌Although oil-based epoxy floor paint has good wear resistance, the paint film is hard and brittle and easy to damage ‌.   ‌Higher cost-effectiveness ‌: Although the material cost of water-based epoxy floor paint is high, the labor cost is relatively low due to high construction efficiency ‌. ‌Oil-based epoxy floor paint has a low price, but the environmental protection problems and subsequent maintenance costs during construction are high ‌.  

Oil-based epoxy floor paint‌ is a high-performance floor coating, mainly composed of epoxy resin and special plasticizers. It has the characteristics of high strength, high toughness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and is widely used in places where high strength and wear resistance are required. Ingredients and Properties: The main ingredients of oil-based epoxy floor paint include epoxy resin and special plasticizers. Because its ingredients contain special plasticizers, it has excellent wear resistance and can resist the erosion of chemicals such as acids and alkalis to a certain extent, making it less susceptible to corrosion and discoloration.   Differences from water-based epoxy floor paint: Oil-based epoxy floor paint and water-based epoxy floor paint differ in many aspects:   Composition difference: Oil-based epoxy floor paint uses organic solvents as diluents, while water-based epoxy floor paint uses water as diluent   Odor difference: Oil-based epoxy floor paint has a pungent odor, while water-based epoxy floor paint is colorless and odorless.   Environmental performance: Oil-based epoxy floor paint contains harmful substances and poses a risk of environmental pollution, while water-based epoxy floor paint has stronger environmental performance and meets environmental protection requirements.   Drying time: Oil-based epoxy floor paint dries faster, usually in 6-12 hours, while water-based epoxy floor paint dries slower and takes 6-24 hours.   Application range: Oil-based epoxy floor paint is suitable for places where no one lives or there are fewer people around, while water-based epoxy floor paint is suitable for all kinds of indoor floor construction or renovation.

In modern buildings that pursue both beauty and practicality, water-based epoxy floor paint has become the first choice for floor decoration and protection in many places due to its environmental protection, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and other characteristics. However, the preparation work before construction is crucial and directly related to the final effect and service life of the floor. So, what should be paid attention to before applying water-based epoxy floor paint on cement floors? 1. Floor cleaning and repair Before applying water-based epoxy floor paint, the first task is to ensure that the cement floor is thoroughly cleaned and repaired. Cement residues, mortar, grease and other impurities on the ground need to be thoroughly removed, especially grease impurities, which need to be wiped clean with a special solvent to avoid affecting the adhesion of the coating. At the same time, the ground is polished to increase the surface roughness and improve the adhesion of the coating. In addition, check whether the ground has hollows, cracks or sanding. If so, it needs to be repaired in time to ensure that the ground is flat and solid.     2. Environmental conditions and primer painting The construction environment also has a profound impact on the quality of water-based epoxy floor paint. Before construction, it is necessary to ensure that the ambient temperature is above 4°C, the optimal construction temperature is 10-25°C, and the humidity should not exceed 80%, and construction on rainy days should be avoided. At the same time, the ground needs to be kept dry and the water content is less than 10%. Primer painting is the basis of floor construction. It is necessary to select qualified water-based epoxy primers and apply them evenly with a brush. Pay attention to following a certain direction to ensure the beauty and uniformity of the coating. After applying the primer, you need to wait for it to fully cure before proceeding with subsequent construction.
