Flake epoxy floors add a protective layer by incorporating **polymer chips** into the epoxy system, enhancing both durability and functionality. These polymer flakes are made from water-based resin materials, organic minerals, and pigments, which are broadcast onto the wet epoxy binder coat during application. Once cured, these flakes bond with the epoxy to create a seamless, multi-layered surface that offers superior protection against wear and tear.

The flakes serve multiple purposes:

1. **Enhanced Durability**: The polymer chips reinforce the epoxy layer, creating a tough surface capable of withstanding heavy impacts, abrasions, and constant foot or vehicle traffic. This makes it ideal for high-stress environments like garages and workshops.
   
2. **Slip Resistance**: The textured surface created by the flakes adds grip, reducing the risk of slips and falls in wet or oily conditions.

3. **Chemical Resistance**: The combination of epoxy and flakes forms a non-porous barrier that resists chemical spills, oils, and stains, protecting the underlying concrete.

4. **Customizable Aesthetics**: The flakes provide a decorative finish while hiding imperfections in the concrete. They come in various colors and sizes to match personal preferences.

Finally, a clear topcoat is applied over the flakes to seal them in place, ensuring long-term protection and a high-gloss finish that resists UV damage and maintains its appearance for years.
