Epoxy Flooring System for Automobile Service Workshops
Introduction
Automobile service workshops demand flooring systems that can endure constant mechanical load, impact, and exposure to oils, greases, and mild cleaning chemicals. The floor must be tough, slip-resistant, easy to clean, and capable of handling daily wear from hydraulic lifts, tool movement, and tire abrasion.
This epoxy flooring system is a high-build, medium-duty solution engineered for long-term durability, mild chemical resistance, and seamless performance in automotive facilities.
Recommended Use Cases
- Automotive maintenance and repair workshops
- Vehicle detailing and washing bays
- Parts and service areas
- Equipment maintenance zones
- Showroom back-end service sections
Step-Wise System Description
Step 1: Surface Preparation
- Ensure clean, sound, and level concrete substrate.
- Mechanically grind or shot-blast to remove contaminants.
- Repair cracks using epoxy crack fillers.
- Ensure moisture content is below 5%.
Step 2: Primer Application
- Apply Ressi EPO Primer LV for strong adhesion.
- Ensure uniform coverage without pooling.
- Allow proper curing before next layer.
Step 3: Mid Coat (Optional)
- Apply Ressi EPO Mid Coat S – GP.
- Thickness: 1000–2000 microns (recommended for service areas).
- Improves impact resistance and leveling.
Step 4: Top Coat
- If mid coat applied → Ressi EPO Tough Might Econo.
- If not → Ressi EPO Floor Plus Econo.
- 48–72 hours for light traffic, 7 days full cure.
Step 5: Floor Marking
- Apply Ressi EPO Roll Coat for markings.
- Use masking tape for accuracy.
System Advantages
- High mechanical strength for equipment movement
- Oil and mild chemical resistance
- Abrasion resistance from tires and tools
