The challenge
The Strategic Food Security Facilities at Hamad Port process, manufacture and refine rice, raw sugar and edible oils. The warehouses are planned to hold a two year stockpile for 3 million people for each commodity. The client needed floors that are hard-wearing, chemical resistant, non-toxic and easy to clean, for areas with heavy foot traffic, forklifts and other heavy machinery.
The DCP solution
DCP Qatar supplied Strongcoat 400, a solvent-free, high-build, non-toxic epoxy floor coating. It gives a hard-wearing surface that takes constant loads, which suits food processing and production areas with foot traffic, forklifts and heavy machinery. In outdoor areas, Repcoat P, a polyurethane protective coating and sealer, was added as a UV-resistant topcoat.
DCP products used
How it was applied
- Spray mixed Strongcoat 400 onto the prepared surfaces with airless spray machines.
- Apply in two layers to a total dry film thickness of 400 microns.
- In forklift areas, build up to a total dry film thickness of 500 microns.
- Outdoors, apply Repcoat P as a UV protection topcoat.
The result
Strongcoat 400 was applied over 100,000 m² of floors.
