2. Epoxy High-Build Coatings.
Epoxy coatings are solvent-free, two component floor coatings. A light to medium duty roller applied resin widely used in industrial warehouses, factories and many other industrial and commercial buildings as an economical floor treatment suitable for forklift use. These products are available in many of the RAL and BS4800 range of colours and offer a tough, durable abrasive resistance floor finish. Various grades of aggregate can be incorporated within the resin to offer increased slip-resistance.
