Abstract
A peelable floor coating system is provided which may be used on a variety of floor surfaces. In one embodiment, the peelable floor coating system comprises a release coating applied to the floor surface and a durable coating applied to the release coating. In another embodiment, the peelable floor system comprises a barrier coating applied to a floor surface and a durable coating applied to the barrier coating. The peelable floor coating system as applied to a floor surface 1) is easy to apply; 2) is level; 3) is easy to keep clean; 4) can be made a color which optimizes lighting; 5) can be applied to many floor types; 6) can be applied over floors in nearly any condition; 7) can be easily peeled up by hand; and 8) can be easily reapplied to renew the floor surface.
Claims30
A peelable floor coating system comprising a release coating applied to a floor surface and a durable coating applied to the release coating, wherein the release coating has sufficient adhesion properties to bond to the floor surface, but which forms a stronger bond to the durable coating than to the floor surface and wherein the durable coating binds to the release coating and may be pulled up in sheets.
A peelable floor coating system comprising a latex release coating selected from a pure latex resin or a latex paint applied to a floor surface and an epoxy as a durable coating applied to the latex release coating.
A peelable floor system comprising a barrier coating applied to a floor surface and a durable coating applied to the barrier coating, wherein the barrier coating prevents the durable coating from binding to the floor surface and wherein the durable coating may be pulled up in sheets.
A peelable floor coating system comprising wax as a barrier coating applied to a floor surface and an epoxy as a durable coating applied to the wax barrier coating.
A method of forming a peelable floor coating system on a floor surface comprising the steps of:
- a) applying a release coating to the floor surface;
- b) allowing the release coating to dry;
- and
- c) applying a durable coating over the release coating,
- wherein the release coating has sufficient adhesion properties to bond to the floor surface, but which forms a stronger bond to the durable coating than to the floor surface and wherein the durable coating binds to the release coating and may be pulled up in sheets.
A method of forming a peelable floor coating system on a floor surface comprising the steps of:
- a) applying a barrier coating to the floor surface;
- b) allowing the barrier coating to dry, if necessary;
- and
- c) applying a durable coating over the barrier coating,
- wherein the barrier coating prevents the durable coating from binding to the floor surface and wherein the durable coating may be pulled up in sheets.
