How a Bina industrial floor is built — layer by layer.
An industrial floor is a system, not a coat of paint. Each layer does a job — adhesion, build, levelling, wear and finish. Click any layer below to see exactly what it is and its real datasheet specs.

Topcoat
The surface you see and use. Choose epoxy for chemical/abrasion duty and high gloss; choose PU for UV colour-stability, a non-skid satin finish and hygienic, steam-cleanable areas.
- EF 6200: 51% solids, immersion-rated chemical resistance
- PU 7600: aliphatic, non-skid, colour-stable indoor & outdoor
- Applied 1–2 coats over a primed/levelled base
Self-levelling coat
A flow-applied, self-smoothing layer that creates a perfectly seamless, monolithic surface — used where a smooth, jointless finish is the priority (e.g. food, pharma, electronics). An alternative to the mortar build for thinner systems.
- Seamless, easy-clean, hygienic finish
- Used instead of, or above, the scratch/mortar layers
- Datasheet on request — ask our technical team
Scratch / pore-filler coat
A high-build epoxy that fills pinholes and porosity in the mortar and leaves a smooth, sealed profile ready for the topcoat — the detail that makes a finished floor look flawless.
- 150–250 microns DFT per coat
- Overcoat window 12–48 hours
- Grey · 5:1 by weight · 1-hour pot life
Epoxy mortar / screed
A trowel-applied epoxy-and-aggregate screed, 3–10 mm thick, that builds a tough, impact-resistant body and acts as a moisture barrier — for the heaviest traffic, forklifts and chemical loads.
- 3–10 mm build thickness
- Solvent-free · seamless & hygienic when sealed
- Must be top-coated (not UV colour-stable on its own)
Primer
Every system starts here. The solvent-free clear primer wets into the concrete, seals porosity, controls rising moisture and gives the whole build its grip — adhesion tested >2.0 MPa (concrete failure).
- Adhesion > 2.0 MPa (concrete failure)
- Solvent-free, low-odour, low-viscosity
- Over concrete of min 25 N/mm² compressive strength
Mix & match. Not every floor needs every layer. A light-duty floor may be just primer + topcoat; a food factory adds the mortar and a PU topcoat; a chemical plant uses the full heavy-duty build. Use Build Your Floor below to see the right combination for your application.
Surface preparation
The system is only as good as the slab it sits on.
Sound substrate
Concrete needs ~25 N/mm² compressive and ≥1.5 N/mm² pull-off strength. New slabs cure 28 days and must be dry.
Mechanical prep
Diamond grinding or abrasive blasting removes laitance and opens the surface; cracks and joints are repaired before priming.
Moisture control
Trapped moisture lifts floors. The 100%-solids primer seals porosity and helps control rising damp before the build coats go on.

What the topcoat shrugs off
Splash & spillage resistance of the Bina PU 7600 polyurethane topcoat.
Splash & spillage resistance — Bina PU 7600 datasheet. For continuous chemical immersion, ask us to specify the right system.
Why the system matters in Malaysian conditions
Seamless & hygienic
A jointless resin surface has nowhere for dirt or bacteria to hide — easy to clean and, with PU, steam-sanitise.
Chemical & abrasion resistant
Engineered to take oils, chemicals, forklift traffic and impact without breaking down.
Moisture-managed
Solvent-free primer and epoxy mortar manage substrate moisture — the usual reason floors fail early.

Common questions
How long must new concrete cure before coating?
Allow new concrete to cure for at least 28 days and confirm it is dry before priming. The slab should have a minimum compressive strength of about 25 N/mm² and a pull-off strength of at least 1.5 N/mm². Coating green or damp concrete is the most common cause of failure.
Do I need every layer?
No — the system is mix-and-match. A light-duty floor may be just primer + topcoat; a food factory adds an epoxy mortar and a PU topcoat; a chemical plant uses the full heavy-duty build. We specify only the layers your floor needs.
How is the concrete prepared?
Mechanically — diamond grinding or abrasive blast-cleaning to remove laitance and open the surface, then crack and joint repair. The substrate must be clean, dry and free of oil, dust and curing compounds before priming.
Epoxy or polyurethane topcoat — which?
Epoxy (EF 6200) for chemical/abrasion duty, immersion and a high-gloss finish. Polyurethane (PU 7600) for UV colour-stability outdoors, a non-skid satin finish and hygienic, steam-cleanable areas such as food and pharma.
Can you install over an existing floor?
Often yes, if the existing surface is sound and properly prepared. We inspect adhesion and moisture first, then specify the right primer and build-up. Send photos and we will advise.
