How a Full-Flake Epoxy Floor System Works
Understand the layers behind the decorative chips.
Base coat
A compatible base coat provides the wet film into which decorative flakes are broadcast. Coverage and timing depend on the product and application method.
Broadcast and scrape
Full-broadcast systems use enough flakes to cover the visible base. Once ready, loose chips are removed and the surface is scraped or prepared for the next layer.
Protective topcoat
The topcoat encapsulates the flakes and influences cleanability, texture and service performance. Verify compatibility and slip-resistance requirements.
