Reepol has undertaken many projects on behalf of engineering companies and is very aware of all the problems that can be encountered.
We are familiar with existing floors that can have been subject to many years of mechanical and chemical damage. In some case floors can be at different levels or the concrete slab can have dropped in places.
Reepol has a range of polymer systems that can repair and restore floors in such condition, enabling our clients to avoid the costs associated with slab removal and replacement.
Heavy duty screeds can be specified for those areas subject to materials handling traffic and other extreme wear. Coating systems are available for light traffic areas and line marking.
We are also aware of the importance that the engineering industry now places on presenting a clean and aesthetically pleasing environment, both to visitors and employees.
Reepol systems have chemical resistance to cutting oils and other fluids, and can be specified with an appropriate level of anti-slip properties. At the same time, they are easy to clean and have good decorative properties with good colour stability.
As a global manufacturer of milling machines, Yamazaki required a hardwearing, attractive, easily cleaned, low maintenance surface for their manufacturing operation. The concrete was in good condition and 2-3 mm finish of Reeflor EL002, a trowel-applied, self-smoothing epoxy coating containing fine aggregates, enabled a 10 year warranty to be provided.
This new factory involved an area of 6,000 sq ms and the work was carried out in three phases to minimise disruption. One coat of a moisture-tolerant epoxy primer was applied - Reeprime EP550, followed by two coats of Reecote ECO17, a high-build, solvent-free epoxy coating system. Gangways were presented in a contrasting blue colour and a light anti-slip finish was applied.
