Epoxy resin with broadcast epoxy flooring—strength and durability
A full broadcast epoxy floor is a way to “recharge” concrete, turning an ordinary slab into a tough, seamless floor that is also easy to clean. The installer heats a layer of resin and evenly broadcasts quartz sand into it. As the resin “drinks” the aggregate and cures, you get a thick, gritty plate that shields the substrate from impacts, salts, and chemicals. After just 24 hours the surface is ready for foot traffic, and in another day it can handle wheels. Why wait for a full reconstruction when Speedway can seal cracks, raise safety, and refresh design in two or three days?
What Is a broadcast epoxy flooring and why choose It?
Before diving into the technical details, nail down the core idea: an epoxy broadcast flooring forms a “sandwich” in which quartz acts as micro‑reinforcement. The fine stone spreads point loads and stops plastic deformation. This is no thin paint on concrete but a genuine composite armor. Hence, the key advantages that start saving money the moment the project is handed over:
- Seamless and hermetic. A continuous membrane that oil cannot soak through and dust cannot settle on; cleaning time drops by 30 %.
- Impact‑resistant surface. Dropping an impact wrench or rolling a pallet jack leaves no craters. Service life is triple that of thin film paint.
- Chemical resistance. Resin plus quartz shrug off gasoline, NaOH, cleaners—no more patchwork “islands”.
- Decorative appeal. Any RAL color or creative blend is possible; you can mark a branded zone and a service corridor with no tape or signs.

Add hygiene to the list: the monolithic structure blocks bacteria from nesting in cracks, making the floor safe even for food plants. When higher friction is required, a matte texture is added to the topcoat, ensuring a worker in rubber boots won’t slip even on a wet surface.
After curing, a 4–5 mm layer works like a composite: the epoxy supplies the bond, the quartz takes the hit. The floor easily carries 5 t axle loads without cracking and resists UV fade thanks to stabilizers in the finish coat.
Where does this flooring make sense?
For 80 % of commercial sites, a basic scheme is enough. But logistics terminals with 40‑ton trucks or cold rooms cycling from −30 °C to +20 °C need extra protection. Enter the double broadcast epoxy floor: a second “resin + quartz” pass raises thickness to 6 mm and stretches service life to 15 years with no major overhaul.
This technology shows its best in the following arenas:
- Logistics centres. Drive‑lane striping is rubbed into the topcoat itself; even steel forklift wheels don’t dull the gloss.
- Auto shops and parking decks. Oils and road salts are removed in one scrubber pass; no “zebra” of stains and patches.
- Food and pharma plants. The seamless shell passes HACCP audits; disinfectants up to 15 % active ingredient don’t touch the color.
- Retail and showrooms. Glossy satin boosts lighting; textured matte in back‑of‑house stops staff slips.
- Low‑temperature warehouses. A second quartz broadcast damps thermal shock and won’t delaminate during thaw cycles.
Double broadcast raises impact toughness: lab tests show the slab survives 10 J without chipping, while UV weathering for 1 000 h changes color by less than δE = 1.5.
Renovation without demolition—a modern approach
When the old composite layer still adheres but has lost gloss or slip‑resistance, full demolition is budget burn. A new epoxy over the old full broadcast floor is the answer. We install it in four steps:
- Diamond grinding. Opens pores and removes contaminated micro‑layers.
- Vacuum cleaning. Extracts dust that would block adhesion.
- Deep primer. Binds residual dust and equalizes the water‑cement ratio at the “old–new” interface.
- Fresh topcoat. Sets new color and texture; cures in 24 h.
This “reboot” costs only 30 % of the original system and restores at least 5–7 years of service life. Production halts for at most one shift, and there’s no construction dust—local extraction and a mobile grinding module handle it.
Why a broadcast epoxy floor is a smart capital investment
Remember, a broadcast flooring is a strategic investment in safety, hygiene, and visual appeal for industrial or commercial space. Use the 4–5 mm base scheme for warehouses and stores, switch to the double version for heavy traffic, or give old composite new life with a light renovation. In every case you’ll get a quality, slip‑resistant, durable surface from our online shop—one that pays for itself every day, square foot by square foot.

All our work is DUST-FREE!
The process of preparing and grinding concrete can be very dusty. Crystalline silica is found in materials such as concrete, masonry and rock. When these materials are made into a fine dust, it is not only difficult to clean, but breathing in these fine particles can cause lung damage. Our high quality grinders and vacuum systems will collect dust during the grinding process, so you don’t need to worry about having dust on the walls or windows after we leave!
