EPOXY FLOORING SYSTEM FOR – LIGHT MANUFACTURING PLANTS

Introduction

Light manufacturing facilities require flooring systems that can endure moderate mechanical stresses, foot traffic, and occasional equipment movement while maintaining a clean, organized, and professional appearance. The flooring must also resist light chemical exposure and be easy to maintain.

The Epoxy Flooring System for – Light Manufacturing Plants is a medium-duty, high-build flooring solution engineered to provide an optimal balance between durability, functionality, and aesthetics for precision manufacturing and assembly environments.

Recommended Use Cases

• Electrical and electronic component assembly areas
• Plastic, rubber, and polymer product manufacturing units
• Medical device and packaging facilities
• Consumer goods assembly and testing areas
• Printing and finishing workshops
• Light metal fabrication and tool maintenance zones

Step-Wise System Description

Step 1: Surface Preparation

• A clean, sound, and properly profiled surface is vital for long-term epoxy performance.
• All necessary surface repairs, including crack filling or substrate restoration, must be completed before application.
• Mechanically grind or shot-blast the concrete surface to remove weak or contaminated layers.
• Repair cracks and imperfections using epoxy crack fillers.
• Clean thoroughly and vacuum all debris.
• Ensure substrate moisture content is below 5% before primer application.

Step 2: Application of Ressi EPO Primer LV

• Apply Ressi EPO Primer LV, a low-viscosity, solvent-free epoxy primer for strong bonding and surface sealing.
• Mix resin and hardener as per technical datasheet.
• Apply evenly using roller or brush.
• Allow full curing before subsequent layers.

Step 3: Application of Ressi EPO Mid Coat S – GP (Optional)

• Apply when additional levelling or build thickness is required.
• Recommended thickness: 1000–2000 microns.
• Apply using trowel/squeegee and finish with spike roller.
• Allow overnight curing.
• This step is optional if substrate is already level.

Step 4: Application of Final Epoxy Topcoat

• Apply Ressi EPO Tough Might as final wear layer.
• If mid coat is used: apply at 1000 microns.
• If no mid coat: apply Ressi EPO Floor Plus at minimum 2000 microns.
• Apply using roller or flat squeegee for smooth finish.
• Allow 48–72 hours for light traffic and 7 days for full cure.

Step 5: Floor Markings (If Required)

• Use Ressi EPO Gloss Might for workflow zoning and markings.
• Apply after full curing of base system.
• Use masking tape for clean edges.
• Allow proper curing before traffic.

Note:

• Total system thickness must be minimum 2000 microns.
• Refer to Technical Datasheets (TDS) for mixing and application details.

System Advantages

• Durable and Functional: Handles mechanical wear and foot traffic.
• Customizable Thickness: Adaptable to operational loads.
• Chemical Resistance: Suitable for mild chemical exposure.
• Smooth and Seamless Finish: Clean, professional appearance.
• Easy Maintenance: Non-porous, dust-free surface.
• Optional Floor Markings: Supports workflow and safety zoning.

Maintenance Guidelines

• Clean using neutral pH cleaning agents.
• Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive tools.
• Inspect periodically and recoat when required.
• Repair surface damage promptly.
