Epoxy Floors: Creating High-Quality Floors for Animal Laboratories

2025.03.27

In the construction of animal laboratories, the selection of floor materials and the quality of construction are of utmost importance. With years of in - depth experience in the purification equipment sector, Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. will introduce in detail the construction processes and specifications of epoxy floors for animal laboratory floors today. Our aim is to help create a high - standard experimental environment.

I. Epoxy Floors: The Ideal Choice for Animal Laboratories

Epoxy floors, featuring seamless surfaces, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and ease of cleaning, have become a popular choice for floors in animal laboratories. Their seamless surfaces prevent dust and bacteria from hiding, effectively inhibiting the growth of microorganisms and reducing the risk of contamination in the experimental environment. Their excellent wear - resistance enables them to withstand the frequent movement of experimental equipment and the daily activities of animals. Moreover, they can resist the erosion of various chemical reagents, ensuring they remain in good condition even in complex experimental environments. Thanks to these advantages, epoxy floors provide a stable and reliable floor foundation for the smooth conduct of animal experiments.

II. Comprehensive Pre - construction Preparations

1. Substrate Treatment

The first step in construction is to conduct a comprehensive inspection and treatment of the floor substrate. The substrate floor should be flat, dry, and free of cracks, 空鼓 s, and other issues. We use professional tools to grind the floor, removing surface slurry and impurities to ensure that the roughness of the substrate meets requirements and enhancing the adhesion between the epoxy material and the substrate. At the same time, we fill any cracks and holes on the floor with appropriate repair materials, laying a solid foundation for subsequent construction.

2. Material and Equipment Preparation

We select suitable epoxy floor materials based on the actual needs of the laboratory. Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. offers a variety of epoxy materials to ensure that the specific requirements of different animal laboratories are met. Meanwhile, we prepare all types of equipment required for construction, such as mixers, trowels, spray guns, etc., and debug the equipment to ensure it is in good working condition.

III. Stringent Construction Processes

1. Primer Coating

Evenly apply the prepared primer onto the treated substrate floor. Leveraging the good permeability of the primer, it penetrates deep into the substrate, enhancing the adhesion between the substrate and the intermediate coat. During the coating process, ensure that the primer is applied evenly, without any omissions or sagging.

2. Intermediate Coat Construction

After the primer is completely dry, proceed with the intermediate coat construction. Mix the intermediate - coat material with an appropriate amount of quartz sand evenly and then use a trowel to apply it evenly onto the primer layer. The intermediate coat not only increases the thickness and strength of the floor but also further levels the floor, creating favorable conditions for the subsequent top - coat construction.

3. Top - Coat Construction

After the intermediate coat is dry, carry out the top - coat construction. Select suitable top - coat materials according to the needs of the laboratory, such as self - leveling top - coat or matte top - coat. The self - leveling top - coat creates a smooth and flat surface, facilitating cleaning, while the matte top - coat can effectively reduce reflection, creating a more suitable experimental environment. Use a spray gun or trowel to apply the top - coat evenly onto the intermediate coat, ensuring uniform coating thickness and a smooth and flat surface.

IV. Quality Inspection after Construction

1. Appearance Inspection

After the construction of the epoxy floor is completed, inspect its appearance first. The floor surface should be flat, smooth, free of bubbles, cracks, sagging, and other defects. The color should be uniform and in line with the design requirements.

2. Performance Testing

Use professional testing equipment to test the hardness, wear - resistance, corrosion - resistance, and other properties of the floor. All indicators must meet relevant standards and design requirements to ensure that the epoxy floor can meet the long - term use requirements of the animal laboratory.
