Epoxy refers to a wide range of components most commonly found in resin form. Also called polyepoxides or EPC, these compounds are used for a range of applications, including sealing concrete, asphalt, and other heavy traffic surfaces. E-Chem specializes in epoxy overlays for these purposes and offers the best quality and value on the market. As experts in the field of adhesive manufacturing, we offer the top products for the preservation and repair of concrete — but we know that every job is unique, so we pride ourselves on offering customized solutions that are designed to meet the requirements of each individual client we serve.

What Is Epoxy Overlay?

An epoxy overlay is a sealant designed to preserve, rehabilitate, or repair the underlying surface. Also called EPC, this formula is designed to withstand extreme levels of traffic and severe elements. The formula consists of an epoxy binder, a coarse aggregate, and sand. An alternative to polyester polymer concrete — or PPC — EPC allows for safer and stronger bonding than its polyester counterpart.

Epoxy overlays also allow for shorter road closures and bonding without the use of an additional agent. PPC requires the use of a bonding agent, which then necessitates the maintenance of a very low moisture level so that the primer can properly cure. On the other hand, EPC eliminates the need for this curing period, thus saving precious time and money throughout the duration of your project.

What Are Epoxy Adhesives Used For?

Epoxy adhesives can be used for a variety of projects. The simple formulation means that EPC can be easily mixed in a five-gallon bucket, or for larger-scale projects, it can be applied using a mixing truck. Some of the different kinds of projects that an EPC can be used for include:

Repair of bridge decks

Parking deck overlays

Joint edges

Joint headers

Rut filling

Concrete floors

Loading docks

These are just a few of the many applications that EPC is ideal for. Any job that requires an epoxy sealant can benefit from an E-Chem EPC formulation. Designed to perform and preserve, EPC adhesives provide a bond that outlasts PPC and any other alternative.
