Types of Epoxy Resin

There are different ways to work with this material and each of them can be applied to floors in a specific environment.

Antistatic Epoxy Floor Coating

Antistatic epoxy floors are known as non-flammable floors and are used in environments where explosives and flammable materials are present.

Traffic and friction on the floor are likely to cause sparks and explosions. Using an antistatic floor coating is therefore an appropriate way to transmit static electricity and avoid the dangers of electric current.

This type of floor coating is mainly used in warehouses, repair shops, garages, paint shops, and in the electronics and military industries.
