Additionally, an EPI floor can always serve as a base for an entirely new floor.\n\nOur floor systems are solvent-free and\/or water-based, minimising the emission of volatile organic compounds. EPI products mainly contain natural raw materials such as biopolymers and natural fillers.\n\nEPI PU resin floors are primarily based on pure and modified vegetal oils, combined with mineral fillers and pigments. Our floors are free from solvents and PVC and contain no chemical thinners. The products don\u2019t contain any volatile organic components (VOC-free) and therefore have nearly no emissions after the products have hardened.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Corporate social responsibility and sustainable entrepreneurship EPI is a family company.
