Concrete joints, edges, seams, drains are keyed
out
Drain
is keyed out for thick coating in this critical traffic area
Prepared floor at trench drain before coating is
applied
Coating
applied flush with drain
Before and after Shot Blasting to rock profile for mechanical and chemical
bond
Shot blasting is nearly dust free for applications such as wineries
etc
Resin being applied and squeegied before sand is broadcast
Sand is applied on the first 3 coats to build floor to minimum 1/4
inch thickness
Sand is swept 30 minutes after each coat, then additional coats are
applied Finished floor
Heavy non skid is applied to top coat for high traffic with wet conditions
Finished floor shows texture for this heavy traffic food processing
application
Complete installation process of floor at F & A Dairy in Las Cruces New Mexico
The joints are keyed out with jack hammers and the concrete is scabbled
down to aggregate
The aggregate is necessary for a good mechanical bond
The concrete is acid and pressure washed clean
The joints and drains are left wide for extra thick floor material
in these critical traffic areas
When liquid resin is spread over the aggregate a permanent bond is
aquired
The resin is filled with sand which builds thickness and increased
wear capabilities
The sand is swept up and the second coat is spread over the top
within 30 minutes which minimizes plant down time
This is the 3rd coat which is also filled with sand for heavy wear
capabilities
The 4th and final coat resin can be pulled tight so that the existing
grit from the previous coat will be used or extra
grit can be thrown on top for high water / slick areas for long term
non skid
