Temafloor PU - a new polyurethane coating for floors
22.05.2007 16:00
Temafloor PU is a new, solvent-free two-component polyurethane coating intended for floors that are exposed to mechanical and chemical stress in industrial and storage facilities where a more flexible and impact-resistant coating than epoxy is required.
Temafloor PU is also
very suitable for coating asphalt as it gives a flexible surface and
because of its solvent-free nature. The application properties
of Temafloor PU are good. The end result is an even, bright surface,
which is not as slippery as traditional, smooth epoxy resins.
Temafloor
PU has proved to be more heat-resistant than corresponding epoxy
coatings, and its chemical durability is also good. The floor
is first primed with Temafloor 400 lacquer, and then the top of the wet
surface is sprinkled with quartz sand to ensure adhesion. The surface
is finished by evenly applying a well-stirred mixture of the polyol
part of Temafloor PU and its hardener, using an adjustable or serrated
trowel.
Releasing air bubbles from under the skin is ensured in
the same way as with epoxy coatings, that is to say, with a spiked
roller after finishing. Priming for coating asphalt is done by smoothly
applying Temafloor PU with a metal or rubber trowel.
