ResuShield™ Deco Flake DB Epoxy Flooring System

Description

Product Overview

ResuShield™ Deco Flake DB is a high-performance, decorative epoxy flooring system designed for demanding industrial, commercial, and institutional environments. This multi-layer system incorporates a vibrant blend of decorative vinyl chips broadcast into a durable, high-solids epoxy resin, sealed with a UV-resistant grout coat, and finished with a clear, light-stable polyurethane topcoat. It delivers exceptional abrasion resistance, formidable chemical protection, and a seamless, sanitary surface. Engineered for long-term performance, the ResuShield Deco Flake DB system provides a robust and aesthetically customizable flooring solution for facilities where durability, safety, and appearance are critical.

User Pain Points & Scenario Analysis

Industrial and commercial flooring faces constant challenges that can compromise safety, cleanliness, and operational efficiency. Common issues include:

• Deterioration & Dusting: Untreated concrete floors generate dust, contaminating products and air quality, especially in clean rooms, pharmaceutical operations, and food processing plants.

• Chemical Damage: Spills from oils, solvents, acids, and alkalis in warehouses, automotive shops, and laboratories can degrade standard floors, leading to costly repairs.

• Mechanical Wear & Impact: Heavy traffic, forklifts, and dropped tools in industrial settings and logistics centers cause cracking, chipping, and rapid wear.

• Hygiene & Sanitation: Porous surfaces harbor bacteria and are difficult to cleaning, posing risks in healthcare, schools, and restaurants.

• Aesthetic & Functional Downtime: Outdated or failing floors present a poor image for businesses like retail stores and office buildings, and installation/repair downtime disrupts operations.

The ResuShield Deco Flake DB system is engineered specifically to address these pain points, offering a long-lasting, low-maintenance coating that protects your substrate and enhances your space.

Product Solution & Key Features

1. Superior Durability & Mechanical Performance

• Abrasion Resistance: Withstands heavy foot and wheeled traffic. Independent testing shows excellent results under ASTM D4060 (Taber Abraser).

• Impact & Crack Resistance: The epoxy resin system offers high tensile and compressive strength, bridging minor subfloor cracks and resisting damage from impacts.

• Seamless & Sanitary: A monolithic surface eliminates grout lines and joints where dirt and moisture accumulate, facilitating easier cleaning and meeting high hygiene standards.

2. Exceptional Chemical Resistance

• Formulated to resist a broad spectrum of chemicals, including oils, greases, dilute acids, alkalis, and many solvents, making it ideal for pharmaceutical, biotech, automotive, and food processing facilities.

3. Customizable Aesthetics & Safety

• Limitless Design: Choose from unlimited standard and custom color blends of decorative flakes to create unique patterns, marble effects, or corporate branding.

• Finish Options: Available in high-gloss or satin finish to suit the desired look and light reflection needs.

• Enhanced Safety: Can be formulated to meet required slip resistance ratings for added safety in kitchens, bathrooms, and pool deck areas.

4. Professional-Grade Application System

• Proven Layering: The system includes optional primer, basecoat(s), double flake broadcast, grout coat, and protective topcoat for maximum performance.

• Technical Support: Comes with detailed installation guidelines for professional contractors, ensuring proper prep and application.

Technical Specifications & Data

The following table outlines the typical physical properties of the cured ResuShield™ Deco Flake DB system, based on independent laboratory testing and standardized methods.

Application Areas

The versatility of the ResuShield Deco Flake DB makes it the best choice for numerous sectors:

• Healthcare & Laboratories: Hospitals, clinics, clean rooms. Demands seamless, chemical-resistant, and easily sanitized surfaces.

• Commercial & Retail: Office buildings, shopping malls, showrooms. Benefits from aesthetic appeal, durability, and low maintenance.

• Education & Hospitality: Schools, universities, stadiums, restaurants. Requires easy cleaning, stain resistance, and a welcoming appearance.

• Industrial & Manufacturing: Warehouses, pharmaceutical plants, food & beverage facilities. Needs heavy-duty protection against chemicals, abrasion, and impact.

• Automotive & Aviation: Garages, hangars, maintenance bays. Resists fuels, oils, and heavy equipment traffic.

Installation Process & Support

A successful installation by approved contractors is crucial for performance. Key stages include:

1. Surface Preparation (Prep): Concrete must be abrasive blasted to a CSP 2-3 profile to ensure proper adhesion. All contaminants must be removed.

2. Primer Application (Optional): A primer coat may be applied to porous concrete to minimize outgassing.

3. Base Coat & Flake Broadcast: The first epoxy basecoat is applied, followed immediately by a broadcast of decorative vinyl flakes. This is repeated for a second layer for full, rich coverage.

4. Grout Coat: A UV-resistant epoxy coat is applied to fill voids between flakes and create a smooth, sealed surface.

5. Topcoat Application: A final clear polyurethane or urethane topcoat (e.g., ResuShield UVE or HTS 100) is applied for enhanced chemical resistance, UV stability, and desired finish (satin/gloss).

6. Curing: The system requires adequate curing time (typically 24 hours for light traffic) at recommended temperatures (50-90°F substrate) to develop full properties.

Our Commitment: We provide comprehensive technical data sheets, application guides, and access to expert support to ensure your contractor achieves a flawless, long-lasting flooring installation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the difference between a standard epoxy floor and the Deco Flake DB system?
A: While both use epoxy resin, the Deco Flake DB system incorporates multiple layers and a double broadcast of decorative vinyl flakes. This creates a much thicker, more durable, and highly decorative finish with superior impact resistance and a unique aesthetic compared to a standard thin epoxy coating.

Q: How long does the installation process take?
A: Project timelines vary based on size, substrate condition, and environmental factors. Generally, after prep, the coating application over a typical area can span 3-5 days, including time between coats and final cure before full operational use.

Q: How do I maintain a ResuShield Deco Flake DB floor?
A: Maintenance is simple. Regular sweeping and damp mopping with neutral pH cleaners are usually sufficient. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or steel wool. The seamless, non-porous surface makes cleaning quick and effective.

Q: Can this system be applied in cold temperatures?
A: The substrate and ambient temperature should ideally be between 50°F and 90°F during application. Specific products have defined working times at different temperatures. Consult the technical data sheet for details.
