PAINTING

Fields of use

Coating of industrial flooring with light traffic, like warehouses, storage areas, garages, pedestrian and fork lift zones. The cycle is not suited to areas with heavy traffic or strong dynamic punching as the coating does not confer major mechanical resistances to the support.

This epoxy system for painting is used in:

• chemical and pharmaceutical industries, in storage areas;
• sterile rooms, laboratories and hospitals, in storage areas and contiguous areas;
• mechanized warehouses, in areas under shelving;
• commercial centres, in areas for pedestrian traffic and goods storage;
• food processing industries, in storage and light traffic areas;
• aseptic rooms, in storage areas.

Chemical resistances

Floors coated with this system resist to:

• diluted mineral acids like: hydrochloric, nitric, phosphoric and sulphuric acid while its resistance is moderate to acids
• alkali, including sodium hydroxide at 50% concentration and detergents normally used for floor cleaning, even at 2030% concentrations, provided that they don’t contain any abrasive grains
• sugars, also for frequent contacts
• mineral oils, diesel fuel, kerosene and petrol.

Floors coated with this epoxy system are not suited to high temperature exposure because their thickness is under 1 mm. The maximum operating temperature of the system is +40°C.
