THE CANADA CHEMICALS AND COATINGS 5-TIER SYSTEM
At Canada Chemicals and Coatings we take pride in our work. Through thousands of successful projects our experienced specialists have learned to deal with any issue that may arise, to ensure that you get the floor you want!
Tier 1: Floor Grinding and Surface Preparation
Concrete grinding involves the smoothing of rough concrete surfaces. Utilizing an abrasive tool with a diamond attachment, the rough surface is meticulously prepared. This process eliminates all coatings, stains, and surface cracks, including the top layer of concrete, providing a solid foundation for the application of Canada Chemicals and Coatings epoxy flooring products.
Tier 2: Filling Cracks and Repairing Pits
Ensuring a seamless epoxy finish on your floors is pivotal, and that begins with filling cracks and repairing pits. At Canada Chemicals and Coatings, we employ Penetron fast-curing cement products to guarantee your concrete is perfectly level before applying the epoxy.
Any protrusions or uneven areas on the concrete surface are smoothed down, ensuring a flawlessly even result.
Tier 3: Application of Colored Epoxy Primer Coat
Preparing the surface for subsequent epoxy coats involves sealing the floor with a primer. When done meticulously, this establishes a highly durable bond.
Our skilled team, using a 2-part polyurethane epoxy system, blends the epoxy with a pigment tailored to the overall design. This mixture is then expertly applied using a squeegee and roller to achieve complete coverage.
Tier 4a: Decorative Flakes
While the primer is still wet, a team member will evenly distribute decorative chips directly onto the base coat. At Canada Chemicals and Coatings, we ensure thorough coverage by spreading more than required during this step.
Once cured, any excess flake material is meticulously removed using a vacuum in preparation for the final stage.
Tier 4b: Metallic Finish
Our team pours the chosen epoxy design directly onto the wet primer to achieve the desired thickness, which has been pre-measured to ensure an even 40 mils thickness across the floor.
Tier 4c: Industrial Sand Epoxy
The selected grit of sand is cast directly into the primer and then back-rolled to guarantee an even distribution. Onsite, the tensile strength is pre-tested before the application to the larger area.
To achieve a uniform coat, an additional base coat is applied at this stage, along with another cast of sand. This imparts a durable, non-slip finish suitable for industrial purposes.
Tier 5: Clear Polyaspartic Topcoat
The concluding step involves the even application of the final clear topcoat using rollers and tape. This distinctive process, exclusive to Canada Chemicals and Coatings, guarantees a topcoat finish that is not only more durable but also consistently impeccable.
For optimal results, it is advisable to allow the floor a curing time of 24 hours before foot traffic and 48 hours before the introduction of light vehicular traffic.
The site is now cleaned up and the equipment and materials taken away.
