Why Coral Wandepoxy Epoxy Is Specified for Kitchens, Bathrooms and Hospitals

Coral Wandepoxy lists bathrooms, kitchens, canteens and hospitals among its applications, alongside industrial and domestic piping and concrete floors. What these rooms have in common is the need for a surface that stays clean and resists moisture and chemical products, which is what the epoxy film is described to provide.

A smooth film that is easy to clean

Once the enamel is mixed with its catalyst, it forms a glossy film with low dirt pickup that is easy to clean. The sheet describes it as smooth, with good flow during application. For rooms where surfaces are wiped often, this low dirt pickup is the property that connects the product to kitchens, bathrooms and clinical environments.

Resistance to moisture, chemicals, abrasion and alkalinity

The cured enamel is described as having high hardness and resistance to moisture, chemical products, abrasion and alkalinity. In a kitchen or a hospital, those are the loads a wall or floor sees: water, cleaning agents and repeated contact. The first cleaning is done after full cure, with a soft sponge dampened with water and neutral detergent.

Internal use, light traffic on floors

The enamel is indicated for internal use. On floors, the indication is for light traffic, and the sheet does not list the system for heavy traffic. It is also not indicated for pools, water tanks or glazed ceramic floors, as covered in the guide on where not to use Coral Wandepoxy epoxy.

Surfaces behind these rooms

The applications map onto the surfaces the sheet indicates: masonry, render, concrete, tiles, internal wood and metal. In bathrooms and kitchens the work is often on tiles, which can receive the enamel once degreased or over a prior coat of primer, as detailed in the guide on how to apply Coral Wandepoxy epoxy on bathroom and kitchen tiles. Where the resistance holds and where it does not is covered in moisture and chemical resistance of Coral Wandepoxy epoxy.
