Materials used

RXEP Hi-Build 500

The RXEP Hi-Build 500 resin flooring system is designed for superior chemical resistance, strength, and resilience. Ideal for a variety of industrial, commercial, and manufacturing environments, including warehouses, chemical processing facilities, printing operations, food production plants, bakeries, dairies, abattoirs, and breweries, it comes in a variety of colors and can be customized with anti-slip features and line markings. RXEP Hi-Build 500 is solvent free and has very low odour during application.

• Hard-wearing
• Seamless finish
• Excellent chemical resistance
• Wide choice of colours
• Anti-slip and line-marking options

Work undertaken

To ensure a professional finish, our installation team employed diamond-headed grinding machines to properly prepare the surface. This process is not only the most efficient way to remove weak and friable laitance but it also ensures a secure anchor for the resin coating. With vacuum assistance built into the machines, the operation is almost completely dust-free.

After careful preparation, two coats of RXEP Hi-Build 500 were applied on two consecutive days, after which a red walkway with a yellow border was put into place.

Challenges

The storage facility was only allowed to be inaccessible for four days, which was significantly shorter than the typical six days a project of its size would take. To ensure it was completed on time, the team worked long hours well into the evening throughout the project.

Outcome

ASG is incredibly pleased with the stunning transformation of the floor, which is the second project to be completed for them. More initiatives are in the pipeline for 2024.
