3mm SL epoxy resin screed were laid at a Compressor Manufacturers in Bicester – 300 sq metres of it.
A large Compressor Manufacturer contacted PSC industrial flooring contractors to refurbish their production. The existing epoxy floor coatings were not giving them a long term solution and they were constantly upgrading them every few years. The brief was for a hard wearing, durable floor surface to withstand high levels of folk lift traffic and usage and would provide an aesthetically pleasing floor.
Durable, hygienic environments..
PSC Flooring Ltd specified a Resdev Pumaflow 3mm SL epoxy resin screed. Epoxy resin self-levelling screeds are ideal for industrial locations where a durable, hygienic dust free environment is important e.g. laboratories, hospital clean rooms, electronics assembly plants, showrooms and light industrial plants.
Recommended for regular foot traffic
Epoxy SL screeds are categorised by FeRFA as Type 5 (2-3mm thick) and recommends them for regular foot traffic, frequent forklift traffic and occasional hard plastic wheeled trolleys. In Light to Medium duty working environments the BS indicates a typical life expectancy of 6-10 years for this type of self levelling floor topping.
