Shanghai Languan New Materials Co., Ltd. provided professional flooring material solutions for the Shenzhen Science and Technology Museum project, focusing on the requirements of a public cultural facility with exhibition spaces, visitor areas and daily pedestrian traffic.

As a science and technology museum, the project places particular emphasis on the overall appearance, durability and functional performance of interior spaces. Flooring is not only part of the building's visual environment but also an important surface that needs to withstand frequent visitor movement and routine maintenance.

To address these requirements, Languan supplied a flooring system based primarily on Two-component Epoxy Color Sand Self-leveling Compound and Epoxy Resin Moisture Barrier Two-Component Primer. The two products were used as complementary components within the flooring system, helping provide a suitable substrate, reliable interlayer adhesion and a durable decorative surface.

Project Background

Public museums and science centers typically receive a large number of visitors every day. Exhibition halls, corridors, educational areas and public spaces may experience continuous pedestrian traffic, making flooring performance an important consideration during both construction and long-term operation.

At the same time, museum environments often require a clean and attractive appearance. Exhibition equipment, interactive installations and display areas can make the floor an important part of the overall interior environment.

The flooring system therefore needed to address several requirements at the same time:

A stable and properly prepared substrate

Effective moisture management

Reliable adhesion between flooring layers

A smooth and decorative finished surface

Good resistance to everyday pedestrian traffic

Easy maintenance for public-use areas

Consistent appearance across different application zones

Based on these project requirements, Shanghai Languan developed a flooring material solution combining a moisture barrier primer with an epoxy color sand self-leveling layer.

Project Challenges

Moisture Control

Moisture within a concrete or cement-based substrate can negatively affect subsequent flooring layers if it is not properly addressed.

Excessive substrate moisture may contribute to adhesion problems, blistering or other flooring defects. Therefore, moisture management was an important consideration during the floor preparation stage.

High Visitor Traffic

Unlike residential floors, museum flooring may be exposed to frequent pedestrian movement throughout the day. The flooring system therefore needs to provide a stable and durable surface suitable for public spaces.

Decorative Requirements

The finished floor needed to complement the modern environment of the science and technology museum. In addition to functional performance, surface appearance and consistency were important considerations.

Substrate Preparation

A successful epoxy flooring system depends heavily on the condition of the substrate. Surface cleanliness, flatness and compatibility between different material layers all influence the final result.

Languan therefore focused on the complete flooring system instead of treating the decorative top layer as an isolated product.

Flooring Solution

For the project, Shanghai Languan supplied two key products:

1. Epoxy Resin Moisture Barrier Two-Component Primer

2. Two-component Epoxy Color Sand Self-leveling Compound

The combination was selected to create a coordinated flooring system from substrate preparation through to the finished decorative surface.

Epoxy Resin Moisture Barrier Two-Component Primer

The Epoxy Resin Moisture Barrier Two-Component Primer was used as an important preparatory layer in the flooring system.

As a two-component epoxy resin product, the primer is designed to help create a suitable interface between the prepared substrate and subsequent epoxy flooring layers.

Moisture management is particularly important when installing resin-based flooring systems. By incorporating a moisture barrier primer into the floor structure, the project could better address substrate moisture-related concerns while preparing the surface for the following epoxy self-leveling layer.

The primer also served as a bonding layer between the substrate and the subsequent flooring material. Proper application helped create a more uniform base for the epoxy flooring system.

Two-component Epoxy Color Sand Self-leveling Compound

The Two-component Epoxy Color Sand Self-leveling Compound was selected as the main decorative and functional flooring material.

Compared with conventional cement-based floor leveling materials, an epoxy color sand self-leveling system can provide both surface performance and decorative value.

The color sand formulation allows the finished surface to achieve a distinctive visual texture while maintaining the characteristics expected from an epoxy flooring system.

For a science and technology museum, this combination of appearance and performance was particularly suitable for exhibition and public areas where the floor needed to form part of the overall architectural environment.

The self-leveling characteristics also helped create a more uniform finished surface when applied under appropriate construction conditions.

Flooring System Structure

The project adopted a layered flooring approach:

Existing Concrete/Cement Substrate
↓
Surface Preparation
↓
Epoxy Resin Moisture Barrier Two-Component Primer
↓
Two-component Epoxy Color Sand Self-leveling Compound
↓
Finished Epoxy Color Sand Flooring Surface

This structure allowed each material to perform a specific function within the overall flooring system.

The primer focused on substrate treatment, moisture management and interlayer bonding, while the epoxy color sand self-leveling compound provided the finished decorative and functional surface.

Construction Process

Step 1: Substrate Inspection

Before construction, the existing floor was inspected to evaluate its general condition, including surface flatness, strength, cleanliness and potential moisture-related issues.

Areas requiring additional treatment were identified before the flooring system was applied.

Step 2: Surface Preparation

The substrate was mechanically and manually prepared as required. Dust, loose particles, oil and other contaminants that could affect adhesion were removed.

Proper substrate preparation provided a cleaner and more stable base for the epoxy system.

Step 3: Application of Moisture Barrier Primer

The Epoxy Resin Moisture Barrier Two-Component Primer was prepared and applied according to the recommended mixing and construction procedures.

The two components were thoroughly mixed to ensure consistent material performance. The primer was then applied evenly across the prepared substrate.

This stage helped establish the foundation of the epoxy flooring system while addressing moisture-control and bonding requirements.

Step 4: Epoxy Color Sand Self-Leveling Application

After the primer reached the required condition, the Two-component Epoxy Color Sand Self-leveling Compound was prepared for application.

The two-component epoxy material was mixed according to the product requirements, followed by the addition and distribution of the color sand system as specified for the project.

The material was then applied across the designated floor areas. The self-leveling characteristics helped the material spread across the surface and form a relatively uniform flooring layer.

Construction personnel carefully controlled application thickness, material distribution and working time to achieve consistent results.

Step 5: Surface Finishing and Curing

After application, the flooring surface was allowed to cure under suitable environmental conditions.

During the curing stage, the floor was protected from unnecessary traffic and contamination to help ensure the required surface quality.

After curing, the finished floor was inspected for appearance, uniformity and overall construction quality.

Project Results

The application of Languan's epoxy flooring system provided the Shenzhen Science and Technology Museum project with a combination of decorative appearance, substrate protection and reliable flooring performance.

The Epoxy Resin Moisture Barrier Two-Component Primer helped establish a suitable foundation for the resin flooring system, while the Two-component Epoxy Color Sand Self-leveling Compound created the final decorative surface.

The color sand finish contributed to the visual quality of the interior environment, making the flooring suitable for modern public spaces where aesthetics and functionality need to work together.

The resulting flooring system provided a smooth and visually consistent surface for the relevant areas of the museum while supporting the requirements of a public facility with regular visitor traffic.

Why Choose an Epoxy Color Sand Self-Leveling System?

Epoxy color sand flooring is increasingly considered for commercial and public spaces where both performance and appearance are important.

For projects such as museums, exhibition halls, commercial buildings, hotels and other public facilities, flooring needs to do more than simply cover the substrate.

A properly designed epoxy flooring system can integrate:

Decorative surface appearance

Strong interlayer bonding

Smooth and uniform flooring

Convenient routine maintenance

Suitable durability for public areas

Customized visual effects

The use of color sand also provides opportunities for different decorative effects, allowing the flooring system to better match the architectural and interior design concept.
