Epoxy floor paint, as the preferred flooring material for industrial and commercial spaces, sees its service life and aesthetics directly determined by the quality 

of daily maintenance. This article presents a comprehensive maintenance plan to help you maximize the investment value of your floor.

I. Daily Cleaning Management: Eliminating Wear Sources

Refined Cleaning Procedures

Soft Tool Operation: Clean daily with a microfiber electrostatic mop or a floor scrubber-vacuum 一体机，focusing on passageways and areas around equipment.

Emergency Oil Stain Handling: Oil stains in catering areas must be treated within 15 minutes using a special cleaner for epoxy floor paint (pH 6-8) to 

prevent penetration.

Mechanical Cleaning: For large areas, a ride-on floor scrubber (equipped with a red scouring pad) is recommended for thorough cleaning twice a week.

Scientific Cleaner Selection

Ordinary Dust: Dilute neutral cleaner at a ratio of 1:50.

Heavy Oil Stain Areas: Spray undiluted special emulsifying cleaner, let it react for 3 minutes, then wipe off.

Chemical Spills: Immediately contain with absorbent cotton, then treat with an acid-base neutralizer.

II. Usage Regulation Control: Preventing Human-Induced Damage

Physical Damage Protection

Equipment Protection System:

Install polyurethane cushioning pads (thickness ≥10mm) on forklift/shelf legs.

Use rubber tires (Shore hardness A60-70) for handling tools.

Traffic Control:

Set speed limit signs (indoor speed ≤5km/h).

Lay temporary protective mats on heavy goods transport routes.

Environmental Adaptability Management

Activate dehumidification systems when humidity exceeds 75%.

Set expansion joints in areas with a daily temperature difference >10℃.

Install sunshade systems in areas with strong ultraviolet radiation.

III. Periodic Deep Maintenance: Performance Regeneration Plan

Surface Gloss Regeneration

Apply water-based polyurethane topcoat wax quarterly (dosage 0.1kg/㎡).

Polish crosswise 3 times with a high-speed polisher (1500rpm).

Restore gloss to over 85GU (new floor paint standard).

Functional Inspection and Maintenance

Test the friction coefficient of non-slip areas every six months (maintain 0.6-0.8).

Inspect the coating integrity of chemical-exposed areas monthly.

Conduct thickness testing in heavy-load areas quarterly (wear rate <0.1mm/year).

IV. Damage Repair Technology: Graded Treatment Plan

Quick Repair of Minor Damage

Scratch Repair: Spot-apply epoxy repair paste (colour code must match).

Small Hole Filling: Use injection-type repair agent for penetration and filling.

Colour Difference Handling: Grind 0.1mm overall, then apply a thin coat of topcoat.

Major Damage Renovation

Local Spalling: Use a diamond milling machine to chisel down to the base, with stepped joint treatment.

Large-Area Failure: Mill 2mm overall, then reapply mortar mid-coat + topcoat.

Post-Renovation Maintenance: Isolate for 72 hours for maintenance; normal use is allowed after 7 days.

Key Technical Indicators

Cleaning water standard: Conductivity <50μS/cm (to prevent water stain residue).

Environmental temperature control range: 15-30℃ (optimal curing condition).

Load recovery time: 24 hours after repair (for loads below 1 ton/m²).

Through the implementation of this plan, the service life of epoxy floor paint can be extended to more than 10 years, and the annual maintenance cost 

can be reduced by 40%. It is recommended to establish a digital maintenance file, record each maintenance parameter, 

and form a predictive maintenance model.
