How to keep the epoxy floor finish lasting?
The luminous surface of epoxy floor coatings represents their core value proposition. Implementing systematic maintenance extends this brilliance by 5+ years, preventing costly production downtime from frequent refinishing.
1. Daily Cleaning: Breaking the Wear Cycle
Gentle Dust Control
Use microfiber electrostatic mops for daily dry-cleaning, focusing on high-traffic zones. Stubborn debris in concrete joints requires industrial vacuum crevice tools to remove abrasive particles.
Stain Classification Protocol
BAN strong acids/alkalies (pH<5 or >9 causes permanent damage)
Oil/Grease: Apply pH 7.5 epoxy coating cleaner, dwell 3 mins, remove with nano-sponge
Chemical Spills: Neutralize immediately with propylene glycol solvent
Pigment Penetration: Hydrogen peroxide compress + UV lamp molecular breakdown
2. Dynamic Protection Systems
Physical Buffering
Lay 3mm diamond-pattern rubber mats in forklift zones to distribute load. Install HDPE bumpers on rack bases to absorb impact energy.
Environmental Smart Control
Deploy humidity sensors triggering dehumidifiers at >75% RH to prevent coating bubbles. Temperature fluctuation alerts (>10°C/day) avert thermal stress cracks.
3. Periodic Regeneration Maintenance
Monthly Gloss Revival
Apply water-based polyurethane maintenance wax, then polish progressively (1500-3000rpm) to restore mirror reflection - boosting wear resistance by 20%.
Annual Professional Audit
Conduct laser flatness scanning to detect delamination. Use friction testers to identify slip-risk areas (COF<0.5) for anti-slip treatments.
4. Personnel Operation Controls
Footwear Enforcement
Mandatory static-dissipative shoes (Shore A70 heel hardness) with <2mm tread depth.
Material Handling Upgrades
Transport heavy loads via air-cushion transporters (zero friction). Use magnetic damping pallets for sharp objects.
