Descripción

Productos

CrylForte™ Deco Flake is a high-performance, decorative seamless floor coating system designed for demanding industrial, commercial, and institutional environments. This system combines 100% reactive, fast-curing methyl methacrylate (MMA) resins with vibrant decorative vinyl chips to create a durable and attractive terrazzo-like finish. It offers exceptional mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and rapid return-to-service times. Ideal for facilities requiring a robust, low-maintenance, and visually appealing flooring solution that can withstand heavy traffic, chemical spills, and stringent hygiene protocols.

User Pain Points & Scenario Analysis

Industrial and commercial flooring faces constant challenges that compromise safety, hygiene, and longevity. Common problems include:

• Cracking and Degradation: Concrete substrates crack, leading to trip hazards and allowing moisture and contaminants to penetrate.

• Dusting and Wear: Constant foot and vehicle traffic creates dust, degrading air quality and equipment.

• Ataque químico: Spills from oils, acids, solvents, and cleaning agents can stain, etch, or soften inferior floor coatings.

• Moisture Issues: Hydrostatic pressure and vapor transmission cause coating delamination and bubbling.

• Sanitation Difficulties: Porous or cracked surfaces harbor bacteria, making cleaning ineffective and violating health codes.

• Tiempo de inactividad prolongado: Lengthy installation and cure times disrupt operations and increase project cost.

Specific Application Challenges:

• Food & Beverage Plants: Require seamless, non-porous surfaces that resist acids, fats, and frequent high-pressure, high-temperature cleaning.

• Pharmaceutical Labs: Demand ultra-clean, chemical-resistant floors that are easy to clean and sterilize, with no crevices for microbial growth.

• Logistics Warehouses: Need extremely high abrasion and impact resistance to withstand constant forklift traffic and heavy pallet drops.

• Aparcamientos: Require durable, slip-resistant coatings that can handle vehicle traffic, de-icing salts, and freeze-thaw cycles.

• Commercial Spaces (Lobbies, Retail): Seek aesthetically customizable, seamless floors that provide a premium look while being easy to maintain.

Product Solution & Detailed Features

The CrylForte™ Deco Flake system directly addresses these pain points with a comprehensive solution.

Core System Components:

1. Primer (CrylForte P-101): Ensures superior adhesion to the concrete substrate, creating a sound base.

2. Bond Coat & Decorative Chips (CrylForte G-201): Applied in two coats, this resin layer is embedded with decorative vinyl chips (Micro or Macro) for color and texture. The double broadcast ensures full, even chip coverage.

3. Topcoat (CrylForte T-301): A clear, protective sealer that locks in the chips, providing gloss, chemical resistance, and durability.

Principales características y ventajas:

• Rapid Cure & Installation: Achieves walk-on readiness in as little as 1 hour per coat and full system functionality shortly after completion. Allows for fast turnaround, minimizing business disruption.

• Durabilidad excepcional: Offers high tensile and compressive strength, withstanding heavy impacts and abrasion from steel wheels and foot traffic. Superior to many standard epoxy and urethane systems.

• Resistencia química: The MMA-based topcoat provides excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, oils, and stains, facilitating easy cleaning.

• Sin costuras e higiénico: Creates a monolithic, non-porous surface with no grout lines or seams, preventing dirt and bacteria accumulation. Ideal for cleanrooms, labs, and food processing.

• Aplicación versátil: Can be installed at temperatures as low as 0°F (-18°C) and on damp substrates (with proper mitigation), offering greater scheduling flexibility.

• Características de seguridad: Can be formulated with slip-resistant additives or textures to meet high safety standards (static coefficient of friction >0.6).

• Aesthetic Flexibility: Available in unlimited standard and custom color blends of chips, with a choice of smooth, orange-peel, or slip-resistant finish.

Technical Parameters & Authoritative Data

The performance of CrylForte™ Deco Flake is verified by standardized ASTM test methods, ensuring reliability and quality.

Ámbitos de aplicación

The versatility of the CrylForte™ system makes it the best choice across numerous sectors:

• Industrial: Manufacturing plants, warehouses, automotive facilities, repair bays.

• Comercial: Retail stores, shopping malls, lobbies, airports, showrooms.

• Institutional: Schools, universities, hospitals, bathroom and locker room facilities.

• Food & Pharmaceutical: Processing areas, kitchens, packaging, cleanrooms, laboratories.

• Logistics & Distribution: Sorting centers, warehouse aisles, loading docks.

• Public & Recreational: Parking garages, pool decks, basement areas, municipal buildings.

Installation Process & Technical Support

Proper installation is critical for optimal performance. The key steps are:

1. Preparación de la superficie: Mechanical profiling (shot blasting/grinding) to a CSP 3-4 profile. The substrate must be clean, dry, and sound. Critical bond tests are performed.

2. Aplicación de imprimación: CrylForte P-101 primer is rolled onto the prepared concrete to ensure adhesion.

3. Bond Coat & Chip Broadcast: Two separate coats of CrylForte G-201 are applied. Decorative chips are broadcast into each wet coat for full, even coverage. Excess chips are removed after curing.

4. Aplicación de la capa final: Two protective coats of CrylForte T-301 are applied, sanding between coats if a specific texture is desired. Slip-resistant additives can be incorporated.

KAIDA PAINT provides comprehensive technical support, including pre-installation consultation, specification guidance, on-site contractor training, and quality control oversight to ensure every project meets the highest standards.

Preguntas más frecuentes (FAQ)

Q1: How does CrylForte™ Deco Flake compare to Epoxy flooring?
A1: While both are resinous flooring systems, CrylForte’s MMA base offers faster curing (even in cold temperatures), higher flexibility (better thermal shock resistance), and superior UV stability, making it suitable for indoor/outdoor applications. It often provides a faster return-to-service.

Q2: What is the minimum and maximum application temperature?
A2: The system can be installed at substrate and air temperatures as low as 0°F (-18°C) and as high as 90°F (32°C), provided proper procedures are followed. This range far exceeds that of most epoxy systems.

Q3: How long before the floor can handle heavy forklift traffic?
A3: Due to its rapid cure, the CrylForte™ system can typically withstand light foot traffic within 1-2 hours and full operational loads, including forklifts, within 24 hours under ideal conditions.

Q4: How do I clean and maintain a CrylForte™ floor?
A4: Routine cleaning is simple. Sweep or dust mop regularly. For deeper cleaning, use a neutral pH cleaner and a auto-scrubber. Avoid harsh acidic or alkaline cleaners. The seamless surface requires no wax or polish.
