Epoxies are polymer materials that begin life as liquids and are converted to a solid polymer by a chemical reaction. Epoxy systems contain resins and hardeners that react chemically when mixed together. This process once initiated forms a durable rigid plastic material that is irreversible. Concrete is the best base surface for epoxy floors although it can be laid over steel or wood.

Solvent based epoxy can be a medium solid, high solid or 100% solid epoxy thus giving degrees of durability, chemical resistance and economical choices.
