Abstract: The study focuses on extending the service life of polymer industrial floor coatings by improving their adhesion to cement-based substrates. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the possibility of using waste glass powder in polymer industrial floor coatings made with the use of epoxy resin. The chemical composition and particle size of waste glass powder make it an attractive additive for the durable and sustainable epoxy resins used in industrial floors systems. Waste glass powder is used in epoxy resin coating as a filler. Samples were stored in air curing conditions. Pull-off tests were performed in order to study the effect of adding waste glass powder on the adhesion between modified polymer industrial floors and cement-based substrates. The results were compared to reference samples without waste glass powder.
