About Epoxy Floor Coating Products

AAA Southern States Refinishing used the following systems for the industrial floor installation:

Primer – PPG Protective and Marine Coatings Megaseal HSPC. The manufacturer engineers this 100% solids high-build coating for best results over shot blasted concrete surfaces. The coating penetrates and soaks deep into the pores of new or existing concrete surfaces serving also as a moisture mitigation solution. Learn more about Megaseal HSPC.

Base Coat – Megaseal Self Leveling Epoxy creates a smooth, level coating. Its thick, high mil coating makes an ideal solution for numerous industrial uses, including warehouses, labs, power plants, waste water treatment plants and more. This epoxy coating provides high tensile, compressive and flexural strength.
