Epoxy Waterborne Floor Paint and Oily Floor Paint: Do you know the difference between them?

Epoxy waterborne floor paint and oily floor paint are common floor decoration materials, but their properties and characteristics are quite different. This paper will introduce the differences between these two floor coatings to help you better choose the floor decoration materials that suit you.

Environmental protection and safety

Epoxy water-based floor paint takes water as dispersion medium and combines with water-based curing agent, which has a fresh smell, is safe and non-flammable, meets the requirements of environmental protection and does not need to worry about potential safety hazards. It can also be constructed in humid environment, with strong permeability, no foaming, peeling and cracking, and excellent performance.

Cost-effective

Waterborne epoxy floor made of waterborne curing agent has obvious advantages in cost performance, especially in thick coating, which can save you costs.

Low safety factor

Oily floor paint contains a lot of organic solvents, which causes great pollution to the environment. In the process of production, transportation and use, the safety factor is low and there is an explosion hazard. Waterproof layer needs to be laid during construction, otherwise problems such as foaming and delamination may occur in wet environment.

Limited applicable environment

Oily floor paint is more suitable for construction and use in dry environment, and has higher requirements for construction ground.
