Installing Epoxy Flooring In Your Garage If you plan to transform your garage into a place where you can work or hangout, then one thing you need to consider is the floor. Bare concrete flooring is cold, dusty, and ugly. However, you can't apply just any type of flooring if you plan to park cars in the space too. Epoxy flooring is the solution. It has an attractive appearance, yet is durable and easy to clean. Here are some more things to know about this type of flooring for your garage. Why…

holiday weekends or in the middle of the night. There are times when you need to make an emergency plumbing repair to prevent major damage from occurring. Putty is a great choice to get a leak under control. How to Make an Emergency Repair with Putty Epoxy putty is the perfect choice for making a temporary repair. It works in wet conditions as well as dry ones. It forms a semi-permanent bond that will last until you can get a plumber out to make a permanent fix. You will need a sanding…

The compression test results for Granite epoxy specimens is documented and listed in Table 5.1. Table 5.1 Compression Test results for Granite Epoxy Specimens Figure 5.1 shows the compressive strength plot of granite epoxy composite specimens without the inclusion of filler material. From the graph, it is observed that the compressive strength of the fabricated specimen’s increases up to 70% granite content and further decreases with the increase in epoxy percentage. The maximal compressive…

Tensile strength Sr.no. % Vol. fraction of Fiber Jute/Epoxy Composite Tensile Strength (MPA) Coir/Epoxy Composite Tensile Strength (MPA) 01 8.3 26.44 28.07 02 10 28.55 27.72 03 12.5 17.73 26.28 Table 2: Tensile strength of composites Figure 6: Tensile strength of jute/coir epoxy composite The test results for tensile strengths are shown in table 2. It is seen that the tensile strength of the jute/epoxy composite increases with increase in fiber volume…

In one of our recent blogs, we covered some of the benefits of concrete coatings in your garage. From durability to an increased aesthetic appeal, both custom epoxy floors and standard concrete coatings can make a huge difference when applied to garages and residential flooring. However, concrete coatings can also have its advantages for commercial applications. Just as concrete coating can benefit homeowners, they can benefit business owners too. In this blog, we are going to cover how…

discuss how each material can be altered, in terms of the look and feel of it. Composite flooring is composed of aggregate and a binder, also known as the matrix. The aggregate is usually stone or glass chips, and the binder is usually concrete or epoxy. You can include additives to your mixture to tailor the composite to the specific job requirements. Stone aggregate in composite flooring is sorted into sizes, so…

Longitudinal Strain (Figure 5 (c)) and the equation is from the Chord Method (Figure 5 (d)). The plots and material strength properties show a brittle fracture due to the linear slope of the graphs. The next specimen tested was the First ±45° Glass/ Epoxy Laminate Composite…

prepared with two different types of binders (epoxy and polyester resin) with same aggregates (crushed quartzite and silica sand. The coarse aggregates comprised of crushed quartzite of sizes ranging from 10 mm to 2.36 mm. The fine aggregates comprised siliceous sand of sizes ranging from 1.18 mm to 150 μm. And also the samples contained CaCo3 microfiller (94:6) with in the (88%) of aggregates proportion by weight. Two types of polymeric binder were used; Epoxy resin (GY-257) added in polyamide…

FIG.15Total deformation of Mono Composite Leaf Spring The fig: 16 shows the von-mises stress at different positions of the leaf spring and it varies from 0.0097MPa to 40.66MPa FIG.16 Von-Mises Stress Plot of E-Glass/Epoxy Composite Leaf Spring 6.1.4 Modal Analysis Modal analysis is performed to determine the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the leaf spring. After the post processing, from solution options, new anaysis is selected as modal. The analysis can be…

The viscoelastic behavior of bucky paper reinforced epoxy laminar composite materials for structural application has been evaluated through Dynamic Mechanical Analysis. The effects of heating rate, sinusoidal forces on glass transition temperature Tgwere studied. In DMA LVDT controlled sinusoidal force is applied and measures the response of the input as shown in the figure 3. It measures parameters which are the signature properties of the material under supervision like storage modulus, loss…
