UNIQUE POLYMER SYSTEMS specialises in providing advanced protective solutions for industrial environments. This case study details the successful protection of a battery storeroom floor using UPS 813 EQS EPOXY QUARTZ SCREED, UPS 909 PP POROUS PRIMER, and UPS 407 EN EPOXY NOVOLAC
In a battery storeroom, the ceramic tiled floor was deteriorating due to failing grout and cracked tiles. The floor needed to be repaired and protected against potential long-term exposure to leaking battery acid, which could further damage the surface and compromise its integrity.
The challenge was to repair the damaged floor and apply a protective coating system that would resist chemical exposure, particularly from battery acid. The solution needed to provide both structural repair and chemical resistance to ensure the floor’s long-term durability.
UNIQUE POLYMER SYSTEMS provided a comprehensive repair and protection solution using UPS 813 EQS, UPS 909 PP and UPS 407 EN. The application process involved the following steps:
Surface Preparation
- The substrate was abraded using floor blasting equipment to remove loose material and create a clean surface for the repair and coating application.
Repair with UPS 813 EQS EPOXY QUARTZ SCREED
- Missing grout and cracked tiles were repaired using UPS 813 EQS, which provided a strong and durable repair to restore the integrity of the floor.
Priming with UPS 909 PP POROUS PRIMER
- The repaired floor was then primed with UPS 909 PP. Where necessary, a glass fiber was incorporated into the primer to bridge and seal smaller cracks, ensuring a smooth and stable surface.
Application of UPS 407 EN EPOXY NOVOLAC
- The surface was protected with two coats of UPS 407 EN, applied by brush and roller to achieve a total nominal dry film thickness of 800 microns. This final coating provided robust protection against chemical exposure, ensuring the long-term durability of the floor.
The application of UPS 813 EQS, UPS 909 PP, and UPS 407 EN successfully repaired and protected the battery storeroom floor. The durable coating system ensured that the floor could withstand potential exposure to leaking battery acid, maintaining its integrity and functionality.
This case study highlights the effectiveness of UNIQUE POLYMER SYSTEMS' protective coatings in safeguarding industrial floors from chemical damage. Our advanced materials and precise application techniques provided a reliable solution that extended the life of the battery storeroom floor.
