Thickness 0,6 mm - 1 cm
Epoxy Screed for Industrial Flooring
A high-thickness, resistant, and high-performance solution, ideal for reconstructing, leveling, and reinforcing industrial floors subjected to heavy stresses.
Reconstruction
The epoxy screed allows for the reconstruction and leveling of damaged industrial floors. Ideal for eliminating unevenness, potholes, and deep wear of the substrate.
1
Robustness
High-thickness system designed for heavy loads and intense traffic. It withstands impacts, abrasion, and continuous use of forklifts and heavy machinery.
2
Durability
High chemical resistance and concrete protection over time. Ensures stability, continuity, and consistent performance even in harsh environments.

What is Epoxy Screed
The epoxy screed is a high-thickness system composed of epoxy resin mixed with selected aggregates, used to create robust and structurally solid flooring. Unlike thinner systems, the screed allows for reconstructing, leveling, or reinforcing the substrate, eliminating significant irregularities and restoring the full functionality of the surface.
The result is a continuous, compact, and highly resistant floor that becomes a single body with the underlying concrete. This type of coating is particularly suitable when the existing flooring is very deteriorated or when it is necessary to achieve a considerable thickness to support high loads and demanding operating conditions.

Practical differences
Why choose an epoxy screed
Designed to withstand impacts, abrasion, heavy traffic, and heavy loads, the epoxy screed also regenerates compromised surfaces. Thanks to its greater thickness compared to a simple resin, it can fill holes, unevenness, and deep wear, providing a uniform and perfectly functional floor.
The epoxy composition also gives the screed excellent resistance to chemicals, oils, fats, and detergents, preventing liquid absorption, protecting the substrate, and facilitating maintenance.
Where epoxy screed is used
The epoxy screed is an ideal choice in all contexts where the floor must guarantee stability, robustness, and long durability. It is particularly used in:
Manufacturing industries
Mechanical workshops and technical departments
Areas subject to continuous forklift traffic
Logistics warehouses and storage areas
Chemical and pharmaceutical sectors
Food establishments
Environments where it is necessary to level or reconstruct the subfloor
Thanks to its high-thickness structure, it is also perfect for old, damaged, or structurally problematic flooring, where other types of resins would not be sufficient.
How an epoxy screed floor is made
The installation of the epoxy screed requires an accurate and professional process. It starts with the preparation of the substrate through grinding or shot blasting, removing inconsistent parts and creating the necessary roughness to ensure perfect adhesion. Subsequently, an epoxy primer is applied to consolidate the concrete and prepare the surface for the next cycle. The screed is then laid in thickness, mixing resin and aggregates in precise proportions to obtain a homogeneous, stable, and resistant material. Once leveled, the finishing in resin is applied, which can be smooth, satin, or anti-slip, based on the operational needs of the customer. The result is an extremely solid, uniform flooring capable of withstanding the most demanding working conditions.
Preliminary analysis of the environment
Every project starts with a technical inspection during which the existing support, environmental conditions, and usage methods of the floor are analyzed to identify the most suitable resin system and to prevent future issues.
1)
Preparation of the substrate
Targeted mechanical processing, such as sanding, grinding, and shot blasting, is carried out to prepare the concrete substrate, or other types, essential to ensure the adhesion of the resin cycle and the durability of the flooring.
2)
Execution of complementary works
Before or during the installation of the resin floor, complementary works are carried out, namely drainage supports, perimeter edges, and skirting boards. These elements help complete the environment and facilitate cleaning and sanitization.
3)
Application of the resin cycle
Based on the required performance, the installation of the resin floor is carried out following specific cycles. We calibrate thicknesses, finishes, and slip resistance to achieve a continuous, safe, and durable surface.
4)
Final inspection and commissioning
Once the hardening cycle is complete, and thus the catalysis of the product, the surface is ready to be used. At the end of the application, the floor is checked in every detail to ensure safety, continuity, and compliance with the project.
5)
Certifications and technical documentation
6)
At the end of the work, RPM Italia provides the client with the technical documentation related to the applied system, including the certifications required for each sector, to support the needs for monitoring and managing the flooring over time.
