What is a polyaspartic floor coating? In busy industrial settings, having factory down time can cost a business a lot of money. One solution is to use a fast curing system on busy areas, such as gangways, to cut down on the time where the floor is unsuitable to use. Polyaspartic resin is fast curing, saving precious hours of cure time allowing light and heavy traffic to carry on as usual sooner than with non fast curing systems. If the correct conditions are met, a polyaspartic floor coating can be ready for light traffic and footfall from just a few hours. As a result, people can get back to work sooner then before.
Having this type of floor coating doesn’t mean you will loose out on quality, polyaspartic floor coatings are still a tough flooring solution and have low odour, are UV stable and have high abrasion and scratch resistance. Depending on what product you have installed. Take a look on the Resin Flooring Associations website for our collaboration with Sherwin Williams on a school in Manchester requiring faster curing resin systems >> Decorative flake resin flooring refresh at Greater Manchester school – FeRFA.
There are a number of reasons why you may want a resin floor which is polyaspartic other than its cure time. Generally, a polyaspartic floor will have many properties which you are looking for in your resin flooring system as can be seen below.
Gangways in busy factories are often installed with a fast curing resin so as not to disturb production.
Polyaspartic is a versatile resin flooring system and can be found in both commercial and industrial settings. It is installed where a fast turnaround time but high-performance floor is needed. This is likely to be in line with manufacturing plants, packaging and processing facilities and other fast-paced industrial sectors. However, it does have some commercial applications as well. This is due to some retail and commercial spaces commonly opening most days of the week for long hours to get continuous footfall. This means that it is hard for those businesses to find a long enough closing time to install a resin floor. Polyaspartic resin flooring shortens the time it takes before a floor can be used again to hours rather than days. This is dependant on correct conditions being met.
The Monarcoat Rapid products are high-build Polyaspartic fast –cure floor coating systems based on advanced materials, designed to provide a transparent tough and durable gloss finish to a range of floor surfaces. Monarcoat Rapid and Monarcoat Rapid Ultra are light stable with a very good chemical resistance, Decorative and anti-slip finishes can also be created incorporating flakes and aggregates.
In conclusion, a resin floor is a durable solution for many different sectors. However, sometimes in the more busy environments, it can mean closing down for a few days. Polyaspartic, on the other hand, is a durable resin floor which takes hours rather than days to cure.
However, polyaspartic can be more expensive than if you were to choose an epoxy resin or a polyurethane system. Because of these factors, you need to balance out the costs with how much you would save by remaining open on certain days. We can work with your company to find the right time to have your resin floor installed. This may mean a polyaspartic floor, or an epoxy one, whichever suits your companies individual needs.
