Epoxy Paints and Floor Coatings
Epoxy Oilserv supplies epoxy paints and floor coating systems in Nigeria for concrete floors, steel, workshops, warehouses, factories, laboratories and process facilities. Select primers, build coats, self levelling systems and compatible topcoats according to the substrate, surface preparation, traffic, chemicals, UV exposure, finish and application method.
System selection
Primer, body coat and topcoat are treated as one compatible system.
Coverage planning
Area, thickness, wastage and substrate condition determine material quantity.
Application control
Mix ratio, induction, pot life, recoat window and cure must follow the product data.
Epoxy Paint and Coating System Selector
The product should be chosen for the substrate and exposure, not colour alone. Use this matrix to prepare a specification request.
| Surface or environment | Possible system direction | Selection questions |
|---|---|---|
| Warehouse or factory concrete floor | Primer plus epoxy build coat or self levelling system | Concrete condition, moisture, traffic, impact, chemicals, slip resistance and downtime |
| Workshop or automotive area | Abrasion and chemical resistant floor coating | Oil, fuel, tyre traffic, cleaning chemicals, finish and repair needs |
| Steel structure or equipment | Epoxy primer and protective intermediate coat | Surface preparation standard, corrosion environment, DFT, recoat and topcoat |
| Outdoor or UV exposed area | Epoxy base system with suitable UV resistant finish | Sunlight, weather, colour retention, substrate and maintenance interval |
| Food, pharmaceutical or clean process area | Seamless, cleanable system selected to facility specification | Hygiene plan, chemicals, temperature, slip, coving, downtime and required evidence |
| Tank, bund or chemical area | Chemical resistant lining or coating system | Stored chemical, concentration, temperature, immersion, substrate and inspection requirement |
Epoxy Paint Is a Two Component System
Most epoxy coatings combine a resin component with a hardener. Once mixed in the stated ratio, the reaction begins and the material must be applied within its usable pot life. Adding extra hardener does not make the coating stronger. Mixing, induction time, film thickness, curing and recoating must follow the current product data sheet.
Surface Preparation Determines Adhesion
Good coating chemistry cannot compensate for a weak, contaminated or damp substrate. Concrete may require curing, moisture assessment, repair and mechanical preparation. Steel commonly requires degreasing and preparation to the specified cleanliness and profile. Dust, laitance, oil, salts and incompatible old coatings can cause loss of adhesion.
- Confirm substrate type and condition.
- Remove contamination and unsound material.
- Create the surface profile required by the system.
- Repair cracks, joints and damaged areas appropriately.
- Check moisture, dew point and environmental conditions before coating.
Coverage, Thickness and Epoxy Paint Price
The useful comparison is installed coverage at the required dry film thickness, not the container price alone. Quantity depends on floor area, number of coats, target thickness, surface porosity, losses and application method. Send dimensions and the system requirement for a current material estimate. Published prices should be dated and verified before purchase.
Product Supply and Professional Application
This page is the product and coating selection hub. Buyers who need a complete site survey, surface preparation and installation proposal should use the dedicated epoxy flooring service page. Keeping those intents separate helps customers choose between buying materials and appointing an application team.
What to Include in the Enquiry

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between epoxy paint and epoxy flooring?
Epoxy paint usually describes a protective coating applied at a specified film thickness. Epoxy flooring can describe a thicker multi layer resin system that includes preparation, primer, build coat and finish. The correct description depends on the actual system.
Can epoxy be applied over old paint?
Only after the old coating is identified, tested for adhesion and compatibility, and properly prepared. Unsound or incompatible coatings may need removal.
Is epoxy suitable outdoors?
Epoxy can chalk or change colour under ultraviolet exposure. Outdoor systems normally require a finish selected for UV and weather resistance.
How much epoxy paint do I need?
Quantity depends on area, target thickness, number of coats, surface porosity, wastage and product coverage. Provide dimensions and system requirements for calculation.
Can I buy materials without installation?
Product supply can be quoted separately where the required system and quantities are clear. Full application is handled through the epoxy flooring service workflow.
