Industrial coating removal
Mechanical removal of failed epoxy, urethane, paint, sealer, mastic and adhesive residue — with dust extraction, so the slab is ready for repair and re-finishing.
Signs this is your scope
- Peeling, bubbling or delaminating epoxy
- Coating that fails again shortly after being re-applied
- Multiple layers of old paint or sealer
- Tile adhesive, mastic or thinset residue after demolition
- A facility that wants to stop the re-coat cycle
Coating Removal — execution
Coating identification first
We identify what is on the slab and how it is bonded before choosing tooling. That is the difference between a clean removal and a damaged slab.
Mechanical, not chemical-first
Shot blasting and diamond tooling remove the coating without flooding the facility with solvents.
Continuous HEPA extraction
Removal debris is captured at the source so adjacent production areas stay clean.
Slab left ready, not raw
The exposed slab is profiled for the next step instead of being handed back scarred.
The full restoration sequence
Every JK project runs the same eight steps. This service is one part of it — and we will tell you which of the other steps your floor also needs.
Slab assessment and documentation
We walk the floor with the facility team, record slab condition, joint damage, coating type and moisture indicators, then map the area into workable zones.
- Existing coating identification
- Joint and crack mapping
- Slab hardness and profile check
- Zone and access plan
Coating and contaminant removal
Failed epoxy, paint, thinset, mastic and sealer are mechanically removed with HEPA dust extraction so the slab is clean and open before any repair work.
- Mechanical removal — no uncontrolled dust
- Epoxy, urethane, paint, adhesive residue
- Continuous vacuum containment
Joint, crack and spall repair
Forklift-damaged joint edges, spalls and cracks are cut, filled with semi-rigid material and ground flush so wheel traffic stops accelerating the damage.
- Joint edge rebuild
- Semi-rigid joint filler
- Spall and pop-out patching
- Crack routing and fill
Large-area diamond grinding
Planetary grinders with progressive diamond tooling flatten the surface, open the concrete and prepare a consistent profile across the whole area.
- Progressive metal-bond tooling
- Surface flattening
- Consistent profile for the chosen finish
Chemical hardening
A densifier is applied to harden the slab surface, cut down dusting and improve abrasion resistance under forklift and pallet traffic.
- Reduced dusting
- Higher surface abrasion resistance
- Better long-term cleanability
Polish, grind & seal or coat
Depending on the facility, the floor is resin-polished to the target gloss, grind-and-sealed for an economical industrial finish, or prepared for a coating system.
- Polished concrete
- Grind & seal
- Coating-ready surface profile
Guard and line work
Protective treatment is applied where required, and traffic markings or safety lines are re-established before the zone is handed back.
- Stain-resistant guard
- Traffic and safety line layout
- Zone handover checklist
Maintenance plan
We hand over a written maintenance routine so the facility team keeps the finish performing instead of re-entering the damage cycle.
- Cleaning method and chemistry
- Inspection interval
- Re-burnish / touch-up guidance

Questions we get on this scope
Why did my last coating fail?
Usually surface preparation, moisture or the wrong system for the traffic. A coating applied over a slab that was not properly opened will lift again. We check all three during the assessment.
Do we need to move everything out?
Not the entire facility. Removal is planned zone by zone. Racking, pallets and equipment are relocated one zone ahead of the crew.
Is there odor in the building?
Mechanical removal avoids the solvent odor associated with chemical stripping, which matters in food, pharma and occupied facilities.
