The flooring industry problem
Same failures. Different day.
- Hot tyre pickup.
- Delamination.
- UV instability.
- Slip risk.
- Odour and toxicity issues.
The industry largely accepted these failures as normal.
SDI didn’t. So we created Exothermic Composite Epoxy Flooring Systems™.
Not another coating, a flooring system engineered to defend against the Fatal Five™.
Floors don’t fail by accident.
Most flooring failures can be traced back to a small number of predictable causes.
They are called The Fatal Five™.
- Hot Tyre Pickup
- Peeling & Delamination
- UV Instability
- Slip Safety Risk
- Odour, Toxicity & Occupancy Disruption
These problems are not random.
They are predictable.
Which means they can be engineered against.
That philosophy sits at the heart of every Exothermic Composite Epoxy Flooring System™.
What does composite mean?
Composite means combining different materials so they perform as one system.
The principle already exists all around us.
- Steel-reinforced concrete.
- Laminated structural beams.
Each combines multiple materials to create a better outcome than any single material could achieve on its own.
SDI applies the same philosophy to flooring.
The SDI Reinforcement Ladder
Every SDI flooring system is built upon the same Exothermic Composite Epoxy philosophy.
As you move through the range, the reinforcement evolves.
- Different materials.
- Different applications.
- One philosophy.
- Engineering without compromise.

Why ECE is different
Every SDI flooring system is built upon the same Exothermic Composite Epoxy philosophy.
Ordinary epoxy is often sold as a coating.
Exothermic Composite Epoxy Flooring Systems™ are engineered as a system.
- Every layer has a purpose.
- Every material has a job.
- Every installation follows the SDI Standard™.
The result is a flooring system designed to deliver greater consistency, greater confidence and better long-term outcomes.
Not because the industry asked for it, because the industry needed it.

Exothermic composite epoxy flooring systems™
Created to defend against the Fatal Five™.
Delivered through the SDI Standard™.
Installed by licensed, SDI-certified, experienced professionals.
