Epoxy Flooring Application Process
1. Surface Preparation
Concrete substrates are mechanically prepared using grinding, shot blasting, or similar methods to remove contaminants and create a suitable surface profile.
2. Primer Application
A penetrating primer is applied to improve adhesion and strengthen the substrate.
3. Intermediate / Self-Leveling Layer
A self-leveling epoxy layer may be applied to achieve a smooth, seamless surface.
4. Topcoat Application
A colored, glossy, and chemically resistant finish coat is applied.
5. Curing
Typical curing time ranges from 24 to 72 hours depending on ambient temperature, humidity, and system specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Which is more durable: epoxy or polyurethane flooring?
Epoxy systems generally provide higher resistance to mechanical loads and chemical exposure, while polyurethane systems offer greater flexibility and better performance under impact and temperature variations.
2. How long do Merks flooring systems take to cure?
Most systems cure within 24–72 hours, depending on ambient conditions and product specifications.
3. Which flooring system is recommended for parking garages?
Polyurethane flooring systems are often preferred for parking facilities due to their flexibility, UV resistance, and durability under vehicle traffic.
4. Can slip-resistant surfaces be created?
Yes. Slip resistance can be achieved by incorporating quartz sand, aggregates, or textured finish coats into the flooring system.
5. Are these systems suitable for industrial facilities?
Yes. Merks epoxy and polyurethane flooring systems are specifically designed for demanding industrial environments requiring durability, hygiene, and chemical resistance.
