High End Concrete and Timber
Coatings
There are many situations where a floor coating is required, ranging
from protective to decorative reasons.
High end coatings are required to meet many specifications including
ease of application, high adhesion, durability and be aesthetically pleasing in
a wide range of circumstances.
Concrete and timber are often used as a flooring base for home,
workplace or public areas. On their own
they provide reasonable aesthetic and durability properties. However these can be improved dramatically by
use of coatings.
Timber and concrete coatings can be available in gloss, satin & matt
finishes, need to be non yellowing, be inert after application, be suitable for
interior and exterior use, be extremely durable and resistant to a wide variety
of insults. These include foot traffic,
machine traffic for example cars, trucks and forklifts, chemicals such as weak
acid, oils, brake & radiator fluid, minor impact from tools and equipment,
and be food grade rated.
Another area of major importance is the ease of application and
recoating. The coating needs to have
very high adhesion to substrate primers and intercoats, be fast curing in a
wide range of temperatures, have a comparatively low smell and provide a build
level using 3 coats on a new surface and 1 to 2 coats when recoating. A high end coating is also expected to adhere
well to concrete coloring techniques for example colored acid stains.
The FORTIS range of high end concrete and timber coatings meets these
specifications and more. The products
include primers FORTIS PRIME520, PRIME820 and coatings FORTIS COAT519, COAT526
and COAT527. Each has properties
enabling high performance in many heavy use flooring applications. These products, along with further information,
