Epoxy Coatings Basics

Epoxy coatings are a type of epoxy resin designed to deliver the highest levels of paint performance and the experts at JH Painting are the industry professionals of choice to handle your next epoxy coatings project.

An epoxy resin is produced by combining an epoxide (a special type of molecule made up of oxygen and carbon) with various hardening agents. The result of this mixture is a tough, plastic-like film that is resistant to water and many chemicals.

Many epoxy coatings are two-component coatings, just like the epoxy glue in your kitchen utility drawer. The components are stored separately, and are mixed at the job site. Once mixed in the proper proportions, the epoxy coating is ready for application. The advantages of epoxy coatings include fast dry times, good protection against abrasion and low volatility.

JH Painting has more than 26 years of experience in the field of epoxy coating and we are ready to take on your next project.

Uses

Some of the most common uses are in industrial and commercial settings, where the tough nature of the epoxy paint stands up to hard use. These coatings are most often used for interior applications, particularly on walls and floors.

Some epoxy coatings are not used as the final coat for a product. Rather, the epoxy paint is used as a primer to improve the adhesion characteristics of other layers of paint.

Epoxy Coating Service and Application

Epoxy coating is a very durable and effective way to protect structures and materials. However, the protection that epoxy coatings can provide is greatly reduced by improper application. That's why it's critical that you choose your coating specialists with care - to ensure a job done right.
