Real Project

Project Data

• City of Uzhgorod.

• Food production.

• Base: concrete base.

 A task

In conditions of uninterrupted production, due to the inability to stop production, it is necessary to install a polymer floor, abandoning the idea of ​​u200bu200busing a classic system with acid-resistant tiles.

 

 Epoxy floor installation

 Solution

• Based on the data obtained, under the conditions of the project, an epoxy resin coating system was chosen, water-based and solvent-free.

• Since the pungent odor of the solvent would definitely harm the health of workers in a confined space, the decision was made to use the VIMEPOX polymer coating system.

Stages of work

Foundation preparation

• The mechanical preparation of the concrete base was carried out using a grinding machine.

• Dusting and cleaning, using an industrial vacuum cleaner.

 

 Dedusting and preparation of concrete floors

 Padding

• On the prepared concrete base, an epoxy two-component primer, water-based VIMEPOX PRIMER-W, was applied.

• VIMEPOX PRIMER-W is a two-component, solvent-free, transparent epoxy primer.

• VIMEPOX PRIMER-W - creates a water barrier on the surface of freshly prepared or wet concrete structures. 

• It is applied before application of VIMEPOX FLOORING and VIMEPOX TOP-COAT epoxy compounds. Has no smell.

• VIMEPOX PRIMER-W - is a water-soluble two-component epoxy system.

• It has high adhesion to cement substrates and excellent resistance to mechanical stress.

• The material can be applied on dry and slightly damp surfaces (without standing water), as well as indoors, as it does not have a strong smell of solvents.

 Application

• VIMEPOX PRIMER-W is used as a primer on cementitious substrates (concrete, cement mortars) before applying VIMEPOX FLOORING and VIMEPOX TOP COAT epoxy coatings and VIMEPOX F-COAT and SP COAT epoxy paint.

•  After application, a seal of the surface pores of the absorbent base and a single continuous surface is created, as well as dust residues are neutralized.

•  This ensures optimum adhesion for final coating application.

Application of VIMEPOX PRIMER-W as an impregnation:

• improves surface strength;

• solves the problem of slightly exceeding the permissible humidity when adding quartz sand M32 (Ø 0.1 - 0.4 mm) to VIMEPOX PRIMER-W in a ratio of 1: 5, the resulting mixture can be used to make a mortar for filling pores and cracks;

•  VIMEPOX PRIMER-W can be used for priming surfaces before applying various epoxy and polyurethane coatings;

• Consumption: 0.3 kg/m/sq.

Application of epoxy bulk polymer coating

• In places with low intensive loading, VIMEPOX TOP-COAT was applied.

• VIMEPOX TOP-COAT is a solvent-free, two-component, epoxy, color coating.

 VIMEPOX TOP-COAT provides :

• high mechanical strength: a combination of relative elasticity and abrasion hardness;

• waterproofing and chemical resistance to: acids, alkalis, solvents, fuels and lubricants, sea water and detergents;

• durability, no damage from weather influences.

VIMEPOX TOP-COAT is used as a protective coating and for decorative painting of cement-concrete structures, screeds, as well as for plastered, asbestos-cement, vertical-horizontal iron and steel surfaces.

VIMEPOX TOP-COAT is designed for sealing (painting) surfaces less than 1mm thick (for repeated painting), which complies with the DIN 28052-1 standard for medium mechanical, both static and kinetic effects (for example, for cars with inflatable tires ) for category 2 with a load of up to 1 n / mm2 = 100 t / m2.

VIMEPOX TOP-COAT has excellent chemical resistance.

• The top layer of structures painted with this material does not show any toxicity, as well as the effect of transferring harmful substances to food.

• This epoxy compound is suitable for floor and wall covering in food production areas.

• Apply two coats 24 hours apart.

• Consumption: 0.7 kg/m/sq/2 layers.

 

 Epoxy floors

Heavy Duty Epoxy Coating

For corridors and places with high foot traffic, it was decided to use VIMEPOX FLOORING.

• VIMEPOX FLOORING is a two-component, solvent-free, self-levelling epoxy flooring compound. 

• When quartz sand is added with a fraction size of 0.01-0.3 mm, a self-leveling mixture is created to cover the surface with one layer 1-3 mm thick. 

• The created epoxy floor surface has perfect adhesion to the concrete base, elasticity, water resistance, resistance to mechanical and chemical influences. 

• Consumption: 0.6 kg/m²/mm when adding 1.20 kg/m²/mm quartz sand.

 

Thin layer epoxy floor

 Advantage of epoxy system for industrial floors

Environmental friendliness of polymer floors for industrial premises	Minimal impact on the human body, due to the water base and not a strong unpleasant odor.
Thin layer epoxy resin flooring system for food production	1. Material consumption up to 0.7 kg/m/sq. 2. Dries quickly and can be put into service in two days.
Color range of epoxy polymer floors for food production	It was decided to use gray color, there are many color options
