Karmax Press Bay

Magna Karmax // 333 Market Dr., Milton, ON

The scope.

Surface preparation and application of a durable, chemical-resistant epoxy coating to the press bay pit to enhance safety, maintain cleanliness, and extend the lifespan of the concrete surface.

Project details.

Surface Preparation

  • Pit area thoroughly cleaned using industrial degreasers and high-pressure washing to remove oil, dust, and contaminants.
  • Concrete mechanically ground with a diamond grinder to open pores and create a profile for epoxy adhesion.
  • Cracks, spalls, and imperfections repaired with high-strength epoxy filler and sanded smooth for a level base.

Priming

  • Applied a moisture-tolerant epoxy primer to seal the concrete and promote strong topcoat adhesion.
  • Primer cured under controlled environmental conditions for optimal performance.

Epoxy Application

  • Mixed a high-build, two-part industrial epoxy per manufacturer specifications.
  • Applied using notched squeegees and back-rolled for even coverage and to remove air bubbles.
  • Broadcast non-slip aggregate into the final coat in high-traffic areas to enhance safety.

Curing & Quality Control

  • Coated surface cured under monitored temperature and humidity conditions.
  • Final inspection confirmed a seamless, uniform finish with excellent adhesion and no visible defects.

The outcome.

The completed epoxy coating provides a seamless, chemical-resistant, and easy-to-clean surface that significantly improves the safety, durability, and appearance of the press bay pit.
