Introduction If you are using epoxy resin for flooring, coating, casting or other applications, one of the most important things to get right is the epoxy resin and hardener mixing ratio. For the Epochem 105 Resin and Epochem 205 Hardener, the required mixing ratio is: 2:1 — Resin to Hardener That means you mix 2 parts Epochem 105 Resin with 1 part Epochem 205 Hardener. For example, 2 kg of resin requires 1 kg of hardener, giving you 3 kg of mixed epoxy. Understanding this ratio is importa …

How Much Epoxy Resin Do You Need for Flooring? Coverage & Calculation Guide Calculating the amount of epoxy resin and hardener needed for a flooring project is important before purchasing materials. Buying too little can interrupt installation, while buying too much can increase project costs unnecessarily. The amount you need depends mainly on floor area, application thickness, and the resin-to-hardener mixing ratio. In this guide, we will show you how to calculate epoxy flooring material r …

Introduction Heavy oil, grease and industrial grime can build up on machinery, engines, mechanical components and workshop equipment over time. If left untreated, this buildup can make equipment difficult to inspect, complicate maintenance work and create dirty working conditions. Removing heavy grease effectively requires more than simply washing the equipment with water. The right cleaning method depends on the type of contamination, the equipment surface and the degreasing chemical being used …

Introduction Industrial equipment and metal components are often exposed to two common maintenance problems at the same time: oil and grease buildup and the risk of rust and corrosion. Before equipment can be inspected, repaired, painted or maintained, oil and grease may need to be removed. However, cleaning metal surfaces can also leave them exposed to moisture and other conditions that contribute to corrosion. This is where an antirust degreaser can be useful. An antirust degreaser is designed …

Introduction Oil, grease and industrial dirt can build up on machinery, workshop equipment, metal surfaces and mechanical components. Choosing the right cleaning chemical is important because different degreasers are formulated for different cleaning requirements. Two options that may be considered are citrus degreasers and heavy-duty degreasers. But what is the difference between them, and which one should you choose? In this guide, we compare citrus degreaser vs heavy-duty degreaser, including …
