About This Service
Canton and Stark County sit at the heart of Northeast Ohio's industrial corridor — home to 3,000+ manufacturing establishments, major distribution centers along I-77, Aultman Hospital and its surrounding medical campus, and more than 100 commercial kitchens and food-service facilities. Every one of these environments subjects concrete floors to relentless punishment: forklift traffic, chemical spills, thermal shock, and the relentless wear of daily operations. Bare or sealed concrete simply can't keep up. Professional epoxy flooring systems transform aging, pitted, or stained concrete slabs into high-performance surfaces that hold up to decades of demanding use — and still look exceptional.
Not every facility needs the same floor system, and matching the right coating to your environment is where Canton Epoxy's expertise makes the difference. Broadcast quartz systems (8,000–12,000 PSI compressive strength, $3–5/sq ft) are ideal for retail floors, showrooms, and light manufacturing where aesthetics and durability intersect. Self-leveling epoxy ($4–7/sq ft) provides a seamless, high-gloss surface perfect for medical facilities, laboratories, and clean rooms. Epoxy mortar systems — the industry's most robust option at 12,000–18,000 PSI — handle the extreme mechanical abuse of heavy manufacturing, automotive service bays, and loading docks. A polyaspartic topcoat (+$1–2/sq ft) can be added to any system for UV stability and fast return-to-service: 4–8 hours of foot traffic versus 7 days for standard epoxy, meaning less disruption to your operations.
Compliance isn't optional in commercial environments, and it's a core part of every project we deliver. Our systems meet OSHA 29 CFR 1910.22 walking-surface requirements and achieve ASTM D2047-certified slip resistance (≥0.50 wet COF) through anti-slip aggregate broadcast. For food-service facilities, our FDA/USDA-compliant coatings meet 21 CFR 175.300 standards, making them suitable for commercial kitchens, food processing areas, and HACCP-controlled environments. Line marking follows ANSI A10.2 color standards, covering pedestrian lanes, forklift traffic zones, rack footprint outlines, and emergency egress paths. Every project begins with a thorough commercial site assessment and ends with a documented compliance checklist — because your facility's safety record matters as much as its appearance.

Key Features
Heavy Traffic Rated
Epoxy mortar systems reach 12,000–18,000 PSI compressive strength, handling forklifts, pallet jacks, and continuous heavy equipment without cracking or delaminating.
Anti-Slip Aggregate Options
Broadcast quartz, aluminum oxide, or polymer grit aggregates achieve ASTM D2047-certified slip resistance (≥0.50 wet COF), satisfying OSHA walking-surface standards.
Chemical Resistance
Formulated to withstand industrial solvents, hydraulic fluids, battery acid, caustic cleaners, and food-grade chemicals without blistering, staining, or bond failure.
FDA/USDA Compliant Systems
Our food-service epoxy coatings comply with 21 CFR 175.300, making them approved for commercial kitchens, food processing floors, and HACCP-regulated environments.
OSHA Slip Resistance Certified
Every commercial installation meets OSHA 29 CFR 1910.22 requirements for walking surfaces, with documented COF test results available upon request.
Minimal Downtime Scheduling
We offer nights, weekends, and phased-zone installation to keep your facility operational — polyaspartic topcoats allow foot traffic in as little as 4–8 hours.
Custom Line Marking & Logo Embedding
ANSI A10.2-compliant line striping for safety lanes, rack footprints, and egress paths at $0.50–$3.00/linear ft, plus logo and insignia embedding for showrooms and corporate facilities.
How It Works
Our Installation Process
Commercial Site Assessment
We walk the entire facility, document floor conditions, identify high-traffic zones, note chemical exposure areas, and discuss operational constraints — producing a written scope of work and phasing plan.
Surface Profile & Moisture Testing
We perform ICRI CSP testing to determine the required surface profile and conduct ASTM F2170 in-situ relative humidity testing to identify any moisture-vapor emission issues before coating begins.
Surface Preparation & Shot Blasting
Industrial shot blasting equipment opens the concrete profile to CSP 3–4, removing existing coatings, sealers, and surface contaminants while leaving a clean, mechanically profiled substrate for maximum adhesion.
Substrate Repair
Cracks are routed and filled, spalls are patched with rapid-set epoxy mortar, expansion joints are addressed with flexible joint filler, and any structural concerns are resolved before coating proceeds.
System Application
The specified coating system — primer coat, body coat (broadcast quartz, self-leveling, or mortar), and topcoat — is applied in controlled conditions. Each layer is allowed to cure per manufacturer specifications before the next is applied.
Line Marking, Curing & Final Inspection
ANSI A10.2-compliant line marking and any embedded graphics are applied during the topcoat phase. Final cure is confirmed, slip-resistance testing is documented, and a written compliance checklist is delivered with the project closeout.
