When hard traffic or extreme demands are common, your epoxy flooring needs trowel grade application. It is the finest method available for maximum durability, creating a coating with double the thickness of our typical home or business process. Floors that experience much weight, such as from heavy-duty forklifts, should be treated with trowel grade epoxy. Trowel grade also is recommended where concrete contact with corrosive or caustic chemicals is common.
One caveat about trowel grade epoxy is that since it is so thick, additional curing time is often essential. There are ideal conditions for applying trowel grade floors. Above seventy degrees Fahrenheit, F, the epoxy can cure in 8-12 hours time and the protective clear coat that goes on top should harden in the same space of time. At that moment, it is okay to walk on the epoxy coat, but the full curing requires 7 days. Below 70 degrees Fahrenheit, F it takes added time for sufficient curing and if the temperature drops below 55 degrees Fahrenheit, F, the thickness of a trowel grade epoxy coating really should not be tried. Therefore, this is usually a late spring, summer, or early fall job.
