YUNYANMIX Epoxy Flake Chips Floor Coating is manufactured by YUNYAN company, YUNYANMIX is a well branded one of Top 10 for Epoxy Flake Chips Floor Coating and new building chemicals in China, for a best supplier and wholesaler of new building chemicals please go through: http://www.yunyanchina.com
Product Description:
Decorative Epoxy Flake Chips Flooring System System is an easy-to-install commercial epoxy floor coating that is applied over commercial concrete floors.
The Epoxy Flake Flooring kits include enough flake to broadcast them over the wet epoxy flooring to the point of rejection. This installation process allows the installer to throw the flake onto the wet epoxy flooring to the point where the floor is entirely covered up by the flake. The results look great every time because the installer scrapes off the loose flake, leaving a uniform blanket of flake on the entire concrete floor.
There are 50 lbs. of flake included in every two-car garage kit. That ratio is kept as the square footage increases, so every installation will look great, regardless of square footage. This system is designed to be easily installed by most commercial maintenance staff without the need for extensive training.

B. Methods of Preparation for Concrete Coating or Polishing
When it comes to concrete coating or polishing, it is vital to trust in the experts if you desire a job well done and a floor that will shine for years. At Liquid Floors, we know exactly what it takes to obtain the floor you want and we have the expertise to make it a reality.
It all begins with proper preparation. As the first step to take in both concrete coating and polishing, preparation is key. Our experts know exactly how important it is to prepare and repair the existing concrete so you can receive the best results from your epoxy coating or concrete polishing.
Beginning with the removal of any stains or residue, our installation team will carefully clean your concrete surface. Following our thorough cleaning processes, we will level and etch the floor using a wide range of equipment, all in the hands of professionals.
At Liquid Floors, we put our expertise to work for you so you will have a floor that you can be proud of and will look great for years to come.
Outlined below are the different steps we take in installing epoxy floor coatings or concrete polishing.
1. DIAMOND GRINDING
Diamond grinding prepares the concrete for coating. It removes rough spots, contaminants, and older coatings. It does not generate hazardous waste or damage the concrete and creates a perfect surface for coating. When performed properly, diamond grinding is the least damaging preparation method for your concrete and the ideal prep solution for epoxy floors.
1. SHOT BLASTING
Shotblasting is used when a floor is in need of major repairs and resurfacing. With a process that involves throwing steel shot directly on the concrete floor, concrete shot blasting mimics sand blasting in order to level off the floor, remove stains, and remove markings. The process leaves aggressive profiles which allows for floors that are 1/8” or thicker to bond properly to the concrete surface.
2. HAND GRINDING
Hand grinding is a crucial step to insure a proper bond of the epoxy all the way to the available edge. Failing to prep as close to the edge as possible can lead to coating failure.
Detail work, that if overlooked, could cost you later.
4.SANDING
After epoxy floors are in place, proper sanding is important. When performed correctly, sanding creates a stronger mechanical bond between the epoxy and urethane top coat
– producing longer lasting results with greater durability and improving aesthetics.
5.SCRUBBING
Once the grinding is complete, a thorough cleaning of the surface is required to ensure the concrete coating adheres properly. This begins with an in-depth scrubbing to remove all major dirt, grit, and debris.
6.VACUUMING
Nothing can sabotage a floor resurfacing project as easily as dirt, grit, and other debris. It is essential that floors are vacuumed properly to insure maximum adhesion and improved aesthetics. Using HEPA filters helps reduce dust and particles from the air and keep the surface as clean as possible.
9.JOINT CAULKING
Effective caulking protects the sidewalls of the joints to keep them from deteriorating. Additionally, joints that have not been caulked allow dirt and debris to get trapped – making them more difficult to clean. Cleaning and caulking joints is an important step to protect joints and give cleaned and coated floors a finished look.
A. Process of Epoxy Flake Chips Flooring The whole process you need
1) YY-180 Epoxy Primer
2) YY-171 Epoxy Middle Coat/Base Coat
3)YY-002 Color Flake Chips
4)YY-173 Epoxy Top Coat
Epoxy Primer
Mixing and Application
When the flooring system is a thin mil coating or slurry system, a primer must be applied to the concrete prior to the application of base coat. This will prevent issues related to outgassing from the slab and to have a good seal of the surface.
1. Premix YY-180A(resin) YY-180B and (hardener) separately,using a low speed elctronic blender. Mix for 1 minute and until uniform, exercising caution not to whip air into the materials.
2. Add 1 parts YY-180A(resin) to 1 part YY-180B (hardener) by volume. Mix with low speed electronic blender for three minutes and until uniform. DO NOT mix more material than can be used within 4 hours. Apply material with a short spiked roller at a spread rate of bdd sq. ft. per gallon.
DO NOT ALLOW TO PUDDLE. Any uneven or textured surfaces will require more material than an even surface.
3. Immediately pour mixed material onto the substrate and pull out using a pin rake, screed rake or flat trowel. Use a spiked roller to evenly
distribute material.If concrete displays excess outgassing, use a
squeeze to break bubbles. Allow material to self-level (5-10 minutes).
4. Allow to cure for a minimum of 6-8 hours. All imperfections such as high
spots should be smoothed before the application of the grout coat.
YY-171 Epoxy Middle Coat and Flake Chips
Mixing and Application
1. Sand or grind surface of dried YY-180 Epoxy Primer to provide proper intercoat adhesion with bonding coat if need
2. Premix YY-171A (resin) using a low speed electronic blender.
Mix for one minute and until uniform, exercising caution not to whip air into the materials.
3. Add 5 parts YY-171A (resin) to 1 part YY-171B (hardener) by volume. Mix with low speed electronic blender for three minutes and until uniform. Apply material using a 1/4” spiked roller at a spread a rate of 160 sq. ft. per gallon.
4. Spread the Flaked Chips over the YY-171 ,about 30 kgs per
1000 square feet). Broadcast floor within 20-30 minutes of placement.
5. Allow to cure 6-8 hours, must be hard enough to stand or walk on without leaving marks.
NOTE:DO NOT THROW DOWNWARD AT A SHARP ANGLE USING FORCE.
YY-173 Epoxy Resin Top Coat
Mixing and Application
1. Premix YY-173 (resin) using a low speed electronic blender. Mix for one minute and until uniform, exercising caution not to introduce air into the material.
2. Add 4 parts YY-173A (resin) to 1 part YY-173B (hardener) by volume. Mix with low speed electronic blender.for three minutes and until uniform. To insure proper system cure and performance, strictly follow mix ratio recommendations.
Using a 1/4” spiked roller at a spread rate of
3. 800 square feet per gallon, evenly, with no puddles making
sure of uniform coverage. Take care not to puddle materials and insure even coverage.
4. Allow to cure 24 hours minimum before opening to traffic. In cool and/or high humidity conditions, a surface film may form which can be washed with soap and water.
