LANRE’S EPOXY ACADEMY: DAY 12
WHY IS YOUR EPOXY FLOOR PEELING?
You installed a beautiful epoxy floor. It looked perfect at first… then suddenly:
It starts peeling. Some areas develop bubbles.
The coating lifts from the concrete.
Cracks and imperfections begin showing through.So, what went wrong?
Here are some common reasons:
1) Poor surface preparation: Dust, grease, laitance or weak concrete can prevent proper bonding.
2) Moisture in the concrete
Applying epoxy over a damp substrate can cause adhesion problems and blistering.
3) Wrong mixing ratio
Epoxy resin and hardener must be mixed according to the manufacturer's specified ratio.
4) Poor-quality materials
Not every product marketed as “epoxy” will deliver the same performance.
5) Poor application technique
Even good materials can fail when the system isn't properly specified and installed.
NOW, LET ME TEST YOU!
If you had to choose just ONE as the biggest cause of epoxy failure, which would you pick?
A. Poor surface preparation
B. Moisture
C. Wrong mixing ratio
D. Poor application.
Drop A, B, C or D in the comments.
Then share this with someone planning to install epoxy flooring.
