An epoxy coating is a type of thick protective material that’s used to cover things, anything from floors and major appliances to small electronics, to protect them from damage or wear. There are many different types of coating available, but almost all are made of epoxy resins, a chemical class of materials more formally known as polyepoxides. Along with being very durable, these resins are also usually resistant to things like rust and chemical corrosion, and as such are popular in a number of different industries and for many different uses.
Most are also relatively easy to use. They typically start out as either a concentrated liquid or powder that manufacturers blend, then paint or spray over the surface to be coated. In most cases drying time is relatively quick and reapplication is seldom if ever necessary.
