When Endurance is a Requirement
Trowel grade epoxy is the ultimate concrete coating for thickness and longevity! For heavy-duty shops, manufacturing workshops, chemical plants, and factories, trowel grade coatings are ultimate. They handle additional mass, caustics, and traffic. If your floor meets with excessive wear, it must have a trowel grade epoxy covering.
A caveat about trowel grade epoxy is that since it is thicker, added curing time is likely needed. There are also ideal temperatures for laying trowel grade flooring. Above 70 degrees Fahrenheit, F, the epoxy should solidify in eight to twelve hours time and the protective clear coat that goes on top can harden in the same space of time. At that moment, it is safe to walk on the epoxy floor, but the full cure demands seven days. Under 70 degrees it takes added time for sufficient curing and if the temperature drops below 55 degrees, a trowel grade epoxy floor really should not be tried. Thus, this is definitely a late spring, summer, or early fall job.
