01. CHALLENGE
The existing PU-screed flooring system at the storage / process area shown signs of chemical attack & wear-and-tear after long term use. Hence, the client required a high chemical resistance flooring system that could protect its structure against various chemicals to refurbish the existing area.
02. solution
For the entire floor area, substrate was prepared by sanding the existing PU-screed floor and repairing any areas that are weak/debonding with Dri-Floor MT 1100, a 3-component, solvent-free epoxy mortar. After which, Dri-Gard EP 1800, a high chemical-resistance epoxy novolac coating, was applied onto the entire area.
For the drains (which faced more damage generally), repair works were done with Dri-Floor EP 1000, solvent-free epoxy primer, and Dri-Floor MT 1100, 3-component epoxy mortar. After which, a fibre-reinforced high build epoxy body coat was installed in multiple layers, consisting of Dri-Gard TZ 300GF & Super Fibre R100. And finally, Dri-Gard EP 1800, high chemical resistance epoxy novolac coating, was applied as a top coat.
Dri-Gard EP 1800 was also customized in Safety Green colour as requested by the client.
03. final outcome
The refurbishment works were completed successfully during the client’s scheduled shut down period. The result is a seamless, chemical-resistant flooring with long term durability.
- highly chemical resistant
- Excellent long-term durability
- customized colour according to client's specification
- excellent abrasion resistance
