Your Chemical List Picks The Resin
The right chemical resistant floor coating depends on what will land on it. Sulphuric acid, caustic soda, glycol, diesel and cleaning solvents each attack resin differently. Some epoxies handle fuel well and break down fast under strong acid.
We ask for your chemical list before pricing anything. That list tells us whether you need a novolac epoxy, a vinyl ester or another resin.
Curbs And Coves Keep A Spill In One Place
A coated curb around a drum rack or a day tank keeps a leak inside a known footprint. A cove at the base of each wall stops liquid from creeping under the framing.
Curb, cove and floor are coated in one pour, so there is no joint for a chemical to find.
Storage Corners In Smaller Shops
This coating is not only for big plants. Truck shops, trade shops and acreage shops that keep fuel, oil and antifreeze can coat just the storage corner. For the rest of the floor, see shop floor coating or industrial epoxy flooring.
What Chemical Resistant Floor Coating Costs
Specialty resins cost more than garage epoxy, so a chemical resistant floor coating often lands between $10 and $18 per square foot. Curbs and coves are priced by the linear foot on separate lines.
