Epoxy screed floor resin is a high-performance industrial flooring system used in environments that require exceptional durability, chemical resistance, and hygiene. Here's a comprehensive overview of what epoxy screed flooring is, its components, uses, advantages, and typical technical specifications:
What is Epoxy Screed?
Epoxy screed is a three-part, solvent-free resin flooring system composed of:
Base resin (epoxy)
Hardener (curing agent)
Graded aggregates (quartz or sand)
These components are mixed on-site and applied as a thick-layer screed (typically 4–10 mm thick). Once cured, it forms a dense, seamless, heavy-duty surface.
Chemical Resistance Excellent against acids, alkalis, solvents
Slip Resistance Can be textured to meet anti-slip standards
Thermal Resistance Withstands up to ~70°C (short-term); some systems up to 120°C
Cure Time Initial: 12–24 hrs; Full: 5–7 days depending on temp.
Where It’s Used
Epoxy screed is ideal for:
Food and beverage processing plants
Pharmaceutical and healthcare facilities
Breweries and dairies
Commercial kitchens
Workshops and factories
Warehouses with forklift traffic
Advantages
High compressive and impact strength
Chemical and abrasion resistance
Hygienic and easy to clean
Seamless and joint-free
Can be anti-slip
Moisture and oil-resistant
