EPOXY FLOORING SYSTEM FOR WAREHOUSES & LOGISTICS CENTERS

Introduction

Warehouses and logistics centers require high-build, durable, and impact-resistant flooring systems capable of withstanding continuous traffic from forklifts, trolleys, and material-handling vehicles. The surface must resist abrasion, handle moderate mechanical stress, and maintain an even finish for safe and efficient operations.

The Epoxy Flooring System for – Warehouses & Logistics Centers is a medium-duty, high-build system designed to offer mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, and mild chemical tolerance. Utilizing Ressichem’s high-performance epoxy coatings, this system delivers a seamless, low-maintenance, and long-lasting surface ideal for industrial and logistical operations.

Recommended Use Cases

• Warehouses and distribution hubs
• Storage depots and packaging zones
• Loading and unloading areas
• Maintenance corridors and handling aisles
• Logistic and transit facilities

Step-Wise System Description

Step 1: Surface Preparation

• Proper surface preparation ensures the long-term performance and adhesion of the epoxy system.
• Ensure the substrate is sound, levelled, and of adequate compressive strength.
• Mechanically grind or shot-blast to remove laitance, weak layers, and surface contaminants.
• Fill cracks and surface voids using Ressichem recommended epoxy crack fillers.
• Thoroughly clean the surface with an industrial vacuum to remove all dust.
• Confirm that substrate moisture is below 5% prior to priming.

Step 2: Application of Ressi EPO Primer LV

• Apply Ressi EPO Primer LV, a low-viscosity, solvent-free epoxy primer formulated for strong substrate penetration and adhesion.
• Mix resin and hardener thoroughly in the specified ratio.
• Apply evenly using a roller or brush, ensuring full surface coverage without puddling.
• Allow to cure as per ambient temperature before proceeding.

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

• For enhanced durability and levelling, apply Ressi EPO Mid Coat S – GP.
• Apply at a minimum thickness of 1000 microns; 2000 microns are recommended for high-traffic warehouse operations.
• Spread evenly with a notched trowel or squeegee, followed by back-rolling for a uniform finish.
• Allow to cure overnight or as per the recommended recoat time.
• This step may be skipped if the existing surface is already level and even.

Step 4: Application of Final Epoxy Top Coat

If Mid Coat Applied:
Apply Ressi EPO Tough Might at a minimum thickness of 1000 microns for a smooth, abrasion-resistant finish.

If Mid Coat Not Applied:
Apply Ressi EPO Floor Plus at a minimum thickness of 2000 microns to achieve the required overall system build.

• Mix resin and hardener as per instructions and apply evenly using a roller or squeegee.
• Allow 48–72 hours for mild traffic and 7 days for full mechanical use.

Step 5: Floor Marking (If Required)

• Where traffic guidance or zoning is needed, apply Ressi EPO Roll Coat in the designated areas.
• Ensure the base surface is fully cured and clean before marking.
• Use masking tape for precise, defined lines.
• Allow sufficient curing time before reopening the area to use.

Note:

• The total system thickness must be at least 2000 microns.
• If no mid coat is applied, use Ressi EPO Floor Plus at 2000 microns to achieve this build.
• For further details such as mixing ratios, pot life, recoat intervals, coverage, and environmental guidelines, always refer to the individual product Technical Datasheets (TDS) before application.

System Advantages

• High Mechanical Strength: Resists impact from forklifts, trolleys, and loaded pallets.
• Abrasion Resistance: Suitable for areas subject to frequent movement and turning wheels.
• Mild Chemical Resistance: Withstands exposure to oils, lubricants, and common warehouse cleaning agents.
• Customizable Thickness: Mid coat option allows build-up based on loading and substrate profile.
• Low Maintenance: Seamless, dense surface minimizes dust accumulation and simplifies cleaning.
• Professional Finish: Smooth, uniform coating enhances light reflectivity and visibility in warehouses.

Maintenance Guidelines

• Clean regularly using mild, neutral pH cleaning solutions.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or strong solvents.
• Inspect the surface periodically for localized wear, especially in loading and turning zones.
• Recoat as necessary to maintain performance and surface protection.
