Epoxy Floor removal by Shotblast
Vacuum (or captive) steel shotblasting is very similar to sand blasting except that the shot is instantly recycled.
Shotblast is used to make a coarse surface on the concrete, asphalt or marble in preparation for the application of sealers, coatings, or polymer overlays.
Dust is kept out of the working environment 100%.
Removes existing coatings and adhesives to provide a non slip surface.
Cleans and profiles concrete surfaces by removing dirt, laitance, curing compounds, sealers and other contaminants in preparation for the application of protective materials.
Quick and comprehensive and with the minimum disruption.

An old Tsing Yi warehouse with multiple coatings of Epoxy.
Projects like these generally need 2 passes. First pass using heavy, large diameter steel shot. This helps break down the layers of epoxy. By slowing the machine down it is possible to remove all the layers in 1 go but this can leave an uneven finish on the concrete.
We choose to do the second pass with a lighter steel shot which removes the remainding parts of epoxy and leaves an ideal concrete surface ready for new coating.

Shun Lee Government Services Quarters in Kwun Tong has a 15,000 m2 car part with and epoxy coating. The epoxy coating had de-bonded but the carpark had to remain open.
Apex Systems (Hong Kong) Shotblast services were employed to remove the failed epoxy. We completed 750 m2 each day. The whole area was left completely coarse,clean and dust free, ready for the replacement coat of epoxy which was laid over the following two days.
