Resin Floors: Selecting the System for the Service Conditions

This seminar explains the main resin floor types and chemistries, shows how to match them to service conditions, sets out the slip, static and hygiene requirements that keep users safe, and covers substrate assessment, application conditions and quality control.

Learning objectives

1. Describe the types of resin floor, from sealers and coatings to self-smoothing and heavy-duty screeds, and how thickness relates to performance
2. Match epoxy, polyurethane, polyurethane-cement and methyl methacrylate systems to traffic, chemical, thermal and hygiene demands
3. Specify slip resistance, static control and hygiene requirements that make a floor safe in use
4. Assess the substrate for moisture, strength, laitance and flatness, and set the application and quality-control requirements
