We were recently approached by one of the premier oil change facilities in the Portland, OR – Vancouver, WA area to come up with a solution to their flooring needs. As you can see in this first picture, the 
low grade poly amide epoxy coating they had been using was not working out too well. Year after year their maintenance dept. would apply another coat of material over the top of the previous one, only to watch it peel and flake off during the coming year. Growing tired of this short term fix, they asked us for a long term solution to the problem.
What we proposed and ultimately installed is a high build epoxy-slurry system with a chemical and abrasion resistant urethane top coat. The result is a floor that not only looks fantastic, but will stand up to the consistent abuse it’s subjected to day after day.
Once the floor was completely degreased, we used a diamond grinder to remove the multiple layers of failing epoxy. After that we cleaned out (chased) all the cracks in the slab and filled them. From there we applied a moisture tolerant epoxy primer. After the primer, we applied a 100% solids epoxy slurry build coat. Once that had cured, we applied two coats of a chemical and abrasion resistant polyurethane.
They now have a floor that shines and is extremely easy to keep clean. Best of all, the maintenance dept. won’t have to come back anytime soon to apply another coat of material.
At Bach Custom Coatings we pride ourselves in finding solutions to you floor coating challenges and look forward to talking to you about your project soon.
