Over the last five years,
significant research in coatings technology has resulted in the
development of high performance low and very low VOC coatings for
industrial and commercial applications. This development work has
been accelerated by the growing awareness of the impact of climate
change on our community.
What needs to be considered in
the selection of a floor/wall protection systems?
- Design life –
budget compliance
The first important question to
ask when selecting a flooring protection system is – What is the
required design life – 2, 5, 10 or 20 years? And, Is frequent or
regular maintenance feasible?
It is virtually impossible to keep any concrete structure from
cracking. Without proper protection, these cracks become the
routes through which moisture, food, bacteria and other chemicals can
begin the degradation process on concrete remarkably quickly. The
specification must meet the agreed design life and the intended
maintenance-free period.
- Contamination
prevention – seamless continuity
Cleaning and sanitising eliminates
contamination. For this to be effective floors and walls should
be seamless, mechanically strong, and chemically and microbially inert.
New standards specify finish and
smoothness requirements. Over time, floors and walls can become
pitted, cracked, corroded, or roughened.
These surfaces are more difficult
to clean or sanitise, and may no longer be cleanable. Thus, care
should be exercised in selecting protection systems.
- Safety under food
but still easy to clean
Standards specify the slip factors
for various environments. But are they easy to clean? New
systems are available that offer both.
