Supercoat Polyurethane Heavy-Duty High Impact Floor: Performance and Application Guide
Supercoat Polyurethane Heavy-Duty High Impact Floor is a premium solution for factory and industrial flooring, designed to withstand the most demanding environments. Whether dealing with heavy vehicle traffic, chemical spills, or general wear and tear, this high-performance floor coating offers an outstanding combination of durability, chemical resistance, and ease of maintenance.
Product Performance Outline
Industrial floors are subject to a variety of stresses, and choosing the right floor paint is crucial to ensure longevity and performance. Supercoat Polyurethane Heavy-Duty High Impact Floor is designed to excel in the following key areas:
Abrasion Resistance: Factory floors often endure high levels of abrasion from equipment such as forklifts, pallet trucks, and other heavy machinery. Supercoat provides a tough, durable layer that resists wear, ensuring your floor remains intact even under constant use.
Static Load Resistance: The floor must endure static loads from pallet stacking and other equipment without compromising its integrity. This coating strengthens and protects the surface, ensuring it can handle the weight and pressure.
Chemical Spill Resistance: Factory floors are frequently exposed to spills of water, oils, cutting agents, brake fluids, coolants, and various other chemicals. While Supercoat can resist these substances, it is essential to clean spills promptly to prevent any prolonged exposure, which could damage the surface over time.
Support for Reinforced Concrete Floors: Most factory floors are reinforced concrete, and Supercoat ensures that the concrete's strength is supported, providing a solid, reliable surface for heavy-duty operations.
Core Functions of Supercoat Industrial Floor Paint
Floor Strengthening: Supercoat enhances the strength of the factory floor by providing a robust, durable layer that improves the surface's resilience to impact and wear.
Dust Control: It eliminates dust buildup, a common issue in factory environments, helping maintain cleaner air and protecting equipment and products from dust contamination. A pre-seal primer is advised for dusty or uncoated floors to create a firm, stable foundation.
Increased Abrasion Resistance: The paint's durability is optimized to prevent excessive wear and tear, ensuring the floor retains its integrity despite continuous traffic and usage.
Enhanced Chemical Resistance: Supercoat offers a high level of protection against a range of chemicals commonly found in factory settings. This includes oils, solvents, and cleaning agents, ensuring the floor can withstand accidental spills without sustaining damage.
Improved Appearance and Ambience: Beyond durability, Supercoat improves the aesthetic quality of the working environment, offering a smooth, attractive finish that helps create a more pleasant and productive workspace.
Simplified Cleaning: Supercoat’s smooth finish speeds up cleaning and mopping, reducing downtime and ensuring that the factory floor remains in optimal condition with minimal effort.
Addressing Common Floor Issues
Dusty and Unstable Surfaces
For floors that are unstable or prone to dust, a primer like Pre-Seal is recommended. This product penetrates the surface, bonding the substrate together and returning the floor to a solid, durable surface. It is especially beneficial in areas that have not been previously coated.
Rising Damp
Rising damp can cause significant issues for floor coatings. The moisture, caused by inadequate damp-proof membranes (DPM), can lead to peeling and damage. To combat this, a damp-proof coating should be applied before Supercoat to prevent the negative effects of hydrostatic pressure.
Preparing Your Floor Before Application
Proper surface preparation is crucial for achieving a long-lasting and effective coating. Here are key steps to follow before applying Supercoat Polyurethane Heavy-Duty High Impact Floor:
Repair Any Damage: Ensure that cracks, holes, and joints in the concrete are repaired. This is essential to prevent imperfections in the final finish.
Clean the Surface: If the floor is contaminated with oil, grease, or cutting agents, it will need thorough cleaning. Use the appropriate surface preparation products to ensure the floor is free of contaminants.
Prime the Surface: A pre-seal primer should be applied to ensure good adhesion and to address any outgassing or air entrapment issues. This step helps to prevent bubbles and craters from forming in the coating.
Test Patch: It’s always advisable to apply a test patch to a small area of the floor to ensure that the coating adheres properly and that no contamination issues arise.
Application and Coverage Information
Supercoat Polyurethane Heavy-Duty High Impact Floor is available in a 20-litre pack size, which covers approximately 200m² per coat or 2,152ft². It is important to allow proper drying times between coats to ensure optimal adhesion and performance:
Touch Dry: After 10-12 hours at 15°C, the surface will be touch dry.
First Coat Drying Time: Leave at least 24 hours for the first coat to fully dry and ensure strong adhesion.
Subsequent Coats: Each after-coat should also dry for a minimum of 24 hours before application of the next coat, with a total cure time of 7 days for the final coating.
For areas with smooth, power-floated concrete, an acid etch or mechanical abrasion will be necessary to prepare the surface before application.
Final Thoughts
Supercoat Polyurethane Heavy-Duty High Impact Floor is the ideal solution for factory and industrial flooring, offering exceptional durability, chemical resistance, and ease of maintenance. By ensuring proper surface preparation and following the application instructions, you can extend the lifespan of your flooring, reduce maintenance costs, and create a safer, more efficient working environment.
