Slurry floor treatment technology, such as curable epoxy resin-based systems, other resin systems, and related resin coat methods

Abstract:

The invention provides a method of treating a floor, such as with a curable epoxy resin-based system or another resin system. The method involves mixing together a Part A comprising a resin and a Part B comprising a hardener to form an activated multicomponent resin system. In certain embodiments, the activated multicomponent resin system has a viscosity in a range of 900-1,200 centipoise. The method further comprises mixing a Part C comprising particles into the activated multicomponent resin system to form a slurry, spreading the slurry over a floor to form a slurry coat, and allowing the slurry coat to cure. Before and after the slurry coat has cured, it has particles of the Part C distributed substantially uniformly throughout. The invention also provides slurry floor coats and floors bearing such coats, as well as methods for repairing such floor coats and floors.
