Chemical Plant Epoxy that survives the room
Specific chemistry attacks specific resins. One visit, one day, then 48 hours before the car goes back on.
Specified from your chemical register.
What we actually install
Resin chosen against your actual exposure list.
We test the slab before we promise a finish. Spills, bunding and constant chemical contact.

Build
Spills, bunding and constant chemical contact.
Cure
One day, one crew, then cure time does the rest.
What the install actually looks like
We open up the surface and see what we are actually dealing with.
We would rather spend the morning grinding than come back in a year. We turn up with the grinder and the extraction first, and the first hour is dust and noise rather than anything that looks like progress. Resin chosen against your actual exposure list.
Once the slab is open and clean we chase any cracks, fill them, and grind those flat. Then the primer goes down, and from that point the day is a sequence with cure windows in it rather than a job you can rush. Grind in the morning, coat in the afternoon, walk on it that night.
Started 2021, family owned, and the people on your floor are the people who own it. That matters on a chemical plant epoxy job because the person who decided the spec is the person holding the squeegee, so nothing gets lost between the quote and the floor.
Aaron and his crew did a fantastic job, friendly and professional.Verified review
Other industrial floors we coat
The slab decides the spec.
What we find under a chemical plant epoxy job
Concrete keeps moving for years after it is poured, and it moves more near the coast where the ground is wet and sandy. That is why we detail edges and joints rather than laying one continuous rigid sheet and hoping.
A lot of the slabs we open up have been sealed at some point with an acrylic nobody remembers. It reads as clean concrete until the diamonds hit it and the surface loads up. That is a full mechanical removal, not a light scuff, and it changes the day.
The system we specify
Slip resistance comes from profile, not from an additive stirred in at the end. Where a floor will be wet we build the texture in with graded aggregate and we tell you how it will feel underfoot.

Specified from the load, not a brochure.
Load, chemistry and temperature decide everything
An industrial floor is specified from three numbers: the heaviest point load it will carry, the chemicals it will contact, and the temperature range it will cycle through. Get those right and the floor is straightforward. Guess at them and you get a floor that looks correct and fails in the one area that mattered.
Thermal shock is the one most often missed. A slab that gets hosed with hot water and then sits cold expands and contracts against a rigid coating until the bond gives up. Cementitious urethane handles that because it moves with the concrete. Standard epoxy does not, regardless of how thick it is laid.
Single day install is standard here. The waiting afterwards is just cure time.
What we need to know before specifying
Specific chemistry attacks specific resins.
What this floor has to put up with
Spills, bunding and constant chemical contact. Resin chosen against your actual exposure list. That combination is what we specify against, and it is why a chemical plant epoxy job is quoted from the room rather than from a rate card.
Specified from your chemical register. Single day turnaround on typical residential slabs.
Living with the floor afterwards
Hot tyre pickup is a failure mode of cheap coatings, not of a properly installed flake and polyaspartic build. You can park on it hot without lifting the finish.
Do not use degreasers with high pH on a regular basis. They will dull a clear coat over time. Neutral cleaner and water handles almost everything.
The service area runs from Jones County out to the coast and along it. Gulfport, Biloxi, Ocean Springs and Pascagoula in Mississippi, Gulf Shores and Foley in Alabama, Covington and Slidell in Louisiana. See the areas we cover.
Questions we get asked
Do you need the space for more than a day?
One visit, one day, then 48 hours before the car goes back on.
What do you do before any resin goes down?
Resin chosen against your actual exposure list. The honest answer about a floor comes from grinding a patch of it.
Does it cope with the loads in here?
Spills, bunding and constant chemical contact. We specify the build thickness against the actual use, not a standard sheet.
Is my area inside your radius?
Yes. We cover south Mississippi, the coast, coastal Alabama and St. Tammany Parish, roughly a hundred miles out from Laurel.
Who will be in my building?
Kevin Garner founded ICM in 2021 wanting work he could hand down. Aaron, Kyler and Averie make that possible.
Can I see the colour before deciding?
Yes. We bring the chip deck out and you pick the blend against your own light and your own walls. Colours read differently under LED, under a skylight and under a garage door that is half open, so choosing off a photograph is how people end up disappointed.
Does a cracked slab rule this out?
A slab that has been acid etched instead of ground has an inconsistent profile. Some areas take the coating and some do not, and you cannot tell which until it fails. We grind regardless of what was done before.
How do I stop it wearing?
Do not drag steel across it. Lift it, or put something under it.
Why does the topcoat matter?
Polyaspartic topcoats cure faster and hold colour better under UV than standard epoxy clears. They also go down in a wider temperature window, which matters when you are working through a Mississippi summer.
We are happy to look at it and tell you what we would do.
This company exists to be passed down, which changes how carefully you work. Serving Laurel and south Mississippi, the Gulf Coast, coastal Alabama and St. Tammany Parish. See finished floors or get in touch.
