01. CHALLENGE
MacDermid required a flooring system for their Kuching facility that could withstand highly aggressive environments. The floors were constantly exposed to strong chemicals, making chemical resistance a top priority.
In addition, the operational demands included continuous forklift traffic, requiring a flooring solution that could deliver superior durability, abrasion resistance, and long-term performance.
02. SOLUTION
Dritech Chemicals proposed and supplied Dri-Gard EP 1800, a high-performance epoxy novolac coating designed specifically for environments with severe chemical exposure. The system was also reinforced with Super Fibre R100, chopped strand fiber mat for all bund lining areas.
This advanced coating system provides outstanding resistance against concentrated acids (including 98% sulphuric acid), alkalis, and solvents, while also offering excellent mechanical strength to endure heavy forklift movement. The seamless, protective surface ensures both chemical safety and durability, making it an ideal choice for the client’s operational requirements.
03. FINAL OUTCOME
- Flooring system with proven resistance against up to 98% sulphuric acid
- Excellent durability and abrasion resistance
- Long-lasting protection, reducing downtime costs
- Seamless, easy-to-clean surface ensuring a safer and more efficient work environment
- reliable, high-performance flooring solution tailored for heavy-duty chemical industry needs
