Quartz System
Components
- Concrete or substrate: As with any epoxy floor system, proper concrete preparation is crucial. The concrete, which is the underlying surface that the quartz system coating will be applied to, needs to be thoroughly cleaned, etched, or ground to create a clean and rough surface for optimal adhesion of the coating.
- Pigmented basecoat or primer with Quartz Aggregate: This is the first layer of epoxy coating that is applied to the prepared substrate. It acts as a bonding agent, promoting adhesion between the substrate and the subsequent layers. The primer also includes a broadcast of quartz aggregate, which helps to create a mechanical bond between the epoxy and the substrate.
- Build Coat with Quartz Aggregate: The build coat is the main layer of epoxy coating that contains quartz aggregate. The quartz aggregate provides the floor with durability, chemical resistance, and slip resistance. This layer is typically broadcasted with additional quartz aggregate to achieve the desired quartz density or appearance.
- Top Coat: The top coat is the final layer of the quartz system that is applied over the build coat with quartz aggregate. It serves as a protective layer that enhances the durability, chemical resistance, and UV resistance of the quartz system.
