NB3001 Epoxy Resin Stunning 3D Effects Metallic Epoxy Floor Coating For Commercial & Luxury Interiors Floors

Quick Details Of Metallic Epoxy Floor Coating:

Metallic epoxy floor coating is a decorative flooring system made from epoxy resin mixed with metallic pigments, which creates a unique marble-like or liquid metal effect through the movement of the pigments during application. It produces a seamless, high-gloss, and visually striking surface that is commonly used in garages, showrooms, commercial spaces, and high-end residential interiors. The coating is durable, waterproof, resistant to chemicals and abrasion, and easy to maintain, typically lasting many years.

Features Of Metallic Epoxy Floor Coating:

• High-gloss, mirror-like finish

• Unique, custom “liquid metal” appearance

• Seamless and joint-free surface

• Strong resistance to chemicals, stains, and abrasion 

• Waterproof and easy to clean

Advantages Of Metallic Epoxy Floor Coating:

Metallic epoxy flooring offers a highly attractive, seamless finish that mimics the look of polished marble or liquid metal, making it ideal for modern and luxury interiors. It is extremely durable, with strong resistance to heavy foot traffic, impacts, stains, chemicals, and abrasion, which helps it maintain its appearance for many years. The surface is also waterproof and non-porous, making it easy to clean and hygienic since dirt, dust, and liquids cannot penetrate it. Its seamless design means there are no joints or grout lines, reducing maintenance and preventing bacterial buildup. In addition, it is highly customizable, as different pigments, colors, and patterns can be used to create unique artistic effects, ensuring no two floors look the same.

Technical Specifications Of Metallic Epoxy Floor Coating:

Application Method Of Metallic Epoxy Floor Coating:

1. Substrate Preparation

• Grind the concrete surface using a floor grinder to remove laitance, oil, grease, old coatings, and loose particles.

• Fill all cracks, holes, and expansion joints with epoxy repair mortar.

• Vacuum thoroughly to remove all dust and debris.

• Test moisture content (must be ≤ 8%).

• Test surface flatness (2m straightedge, gap ≤ 3mm).

2. Primer Application

• Mix epoxy primer according to the ratio (A:B).

• Apply one coat evenly using a roller or squeegee.

• Coverage: approx. 0.15 – 0.25 kg/m².

• Allow to dry for 6–10 hours at 25°C (longer at lower temperatures).

• Do not apply the next coat if the primer is still tacky.

3. Metallic Base Coat Application

• Accurately weigh Part A and Part B according to the specified ratio (e.g., 3:1 or 2:1).

• Mix with an electric stirrer at low speed for 2–3 minutes until homogeneous.

• Pour the mixed material onto the prepared floor.

• Spread evenly using a gauge rake or squeegee.

• Recommended thickness: 1.5 – 2.0 mm.

• Coverage: approx. 1.5 – 2.2 kg/m² (depending on thickness).

4. Creating the Metallic Effect

• Immediately after spreading the base coat, apply metallic pigments (liquid or powder) using a brush, roller, or specialized tools.

• Common techniques:

  • Marble effect – drag tools through the wet epoxy in sweeping arcs.

  • Swirl effect – use a circular motion to create movement.

  • Wave effect – use a trowel or spatula to create fluid lines.

  • Custom design – combine techniques to create unique patterns.

• The pigments will rise and blend naturally as the epoxy cures.

• Important: Work in small sections (2–3 m² at a time) to keep the material wet and workable before the pot life expires.

5. Bubble Removal

• Immediately after creating the pattern, use a spiked roller over the entire surface in both directions to release trapped air.

• This also helps level the material for a smooth finish.

6. Curing

• Protect the surface from dust, moisture, and foot traffic during curing.

• Light foot traffic: after 24 hours (at 25°C).

• Full cure: after 7 days.

• At lower temperatures (<15°C), curing times will be longer.

7. Optional Clear Topcoat (Recommended)

• For areas with heavy traffic or UV exposure, apply a clear polyurethane or polyaspartic topcoat.

• Benefits:

  • Scratch resistance

  • UV resistance (anti-yellowing)

  • Stain protection

  • Easier cleaning

• Mix and apply according to the product's instructions.

• Coverage: approx. 0.1 – 0.2 kg/m².

• Light traffic after 24 hours; full cure after 7 days.

Tools Required

• Floor grinder / shot blaster

• Industrial vacuum cleaner

• Electric stirrer with mixing paddle

• Gauge rake (adjustable height)

• Squeegee (rubber)

• Spiked roller (long handle)

• Trowel / spatula / metallic effect tools (brushes, combs, rollers)

• Measuring scales

• Mixing buckets

Working Conditions

• Temperature: 15 – 30°C (ideal), 10 – 35°C (acceptable)

• Relative humidity: ≤ 85%

• Substrate temperature must be above dew point (to avoid condensation)

• Avoid application in rainy weather or direct sunlight.

Key Tips

• Plan your pattern design before starting.

• Work quickly — pot life is approximately 20–30 minutes at 25°C.

• Mix small batches if working alone to maintain control.

• Maintain a wet edge — keep application areas adjacent to avoid visible joints.

• 2–3 person team recommended for large areas (1 x mixing / pouring, 1 x spreading, 1 x effect creation).

• Avoid over‑rolling — too much rolling may flatten the metallic effect.

• Keep tools clean — clean immediately with appropriate thinner after use.
