What should you do if the epoxy floor paint has too high a viscosity?

A good epoxy floor coating is the primary requirement for creating high-quality epoxy flooring. There are numerous indicators related to floor coatings, among which the viscosity of the epoxy paint is a critically important one. If the viscosity of the epoxy paint is too high, it can lead to quality issues in the epoxy flooring. So, why does epoxy paint sometimes develop excessively high viscosity? And what steps should we take to prevent this from happening?
 
I. Reasons for Excessive Viscosity of Epoxy Floor Coatings
 
1. Epoxy flooring construction has specific environmental requirements. If the temperature is too low or too high, it’s not suitable for work. At excessively low temperatures, the epoxy resin tends to become overly viscous. Meanwhile, when the temperature is too high, the epoxy floor paint should be used up as soon as possible—otherwise, viscosity will directly increase.
 
2. After mixing and stirring the epoxy floor coating, prolonged standing has caused a reaction, resulting in excessive viscosity of the coating.
 
3. Epoxy floor coating has a specific ratio with its ingredients. If too much sand or powder is added to the mixture without proper solvent addition, the viscosity of the floor paint will become excessively high.
 
II. How to Prevent Epoxy Floor Coating from Becoming Too Viscous
 
1. If the ambient temperature is too low or too high, epoxy flooring construction should be halted.
 
2. The prepared epoxy floor paint should be used promptly and not left standing for too long.
 
3. The mixing of epoxy floor paint must follow the correct proportions. It is necessary to add sand and powder appropriately, and solvent should be added as needed depending on the situation.
