Revêtements époxy

Epoxy Floor Coatings for Commercial & Industrial Applications

High-build epoxy floor coatings formulated for commercial, industrial, and institutional environments across British Columbia. Canopus Supply stocks 100% solids epoxy base coats, water-based primers, and self-levelling systems suited for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, commercial garages, and institutional floors throughout Metro Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.

Epoxy system performance depends on substrate condition, surface profile, ambient temperature, humidity, and application method. Confirm product suitability against the current TDS, SDS, and project specification before ordering.

System Characteristics

High-Build Base Coats — 100% solids epoxy formulas designed for high film build and low VOC; confirm coverage rates and application thickness against the current TDS.
Chemical Resistance Properties — Epoxy systems formulated with resistance to common industrial chemicals, oils, and fuels; confirm chemical compatibility against the TDS and project specification before use.
Adhesion to Concrete — Designed for adhesion to properly prepared concrete substrates; final adhesion depends on substrate condition, surface profile (CSP), moisture content, and application method.
System Versatility — Available in primer, base coat, and broadcast configurations for a range of commercial and industrial floor applications.

Typical Applications

Warehouses and distribution centres
Manufacturing and industrial facilities
Commercial and institutional garages
Retail and commercial floors
Institutional and healthcare facilities

Contractor FAQ — Epoxy Coatings

What is the difference between 100% solids epoxy and water-based epoxy?

100% solids epoxy delivers higher film build per coat and lower VOC emissions, making it common for industrial and commercial floor applications requiring durability and chemical resistance. Water-based epoxy is typically used as a primer or in environments where VOC restrictions apply. Confirm product selection against the current TDS and project specification before ordering.

Does epoxy require a primer coat?

Most commercial epoxy systems require a primer coat to promote adhesion to the concrete substrate, particularly on porous, contaminated, or moisture-affected slabs. Confirm primer requirements against the current manufacturer documentation and project specification before installation.

What surface preparation is required before applying epoxy?

Concrete substrates must be clean, dry, and profiled to the manufacturer's specified Concrete Surface Profile (CSP) before epoxy application. Surface preparation method — shot blasting, diamond grinding, or scarifying — depends on substrate condition and the specified system. Confirm preparation requirements against the current TDS before work begins.

Can epoxy be used as a standalone topcoat in UV-exposed areas?

Aromatic epoxy systems are not formulated for UV stability and will amber or chalk in UV-exposed environments. Aliphatic polyaspartic or urethane topcoats are typically specified for UV-exposed areas. Confirm topcoat requirements against the current TDS and project specification.

Can contractors pick up epoxy products in North Vancouver?

Contractor pickup is available from Canopus Supply in North Vancouver. Contact the store before placing volume orders to confirm stock, pickup timing and system components.
