ResuShield™ DSS EV Epoxy Flooring System

Description

Aperçu du produit

ResuShield™ DSS EV is a high-performance, decorative epoxy flooring system designed for demanding industrial and commercial environments requiring rapid installation and superior chemical resistance. This three-to-four layer system combines a pigmented epoxy basecoat, a decorative stone slurry, and a UV-stable urethane topcoat to create a seamless, durable, and visually appealing floor. Its core innovation lies in providing moderate N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) resistance within seven days and the ability to be applied to green concrete, dramatically reducing facility downtime from the traditional 28-day cure to just 7 days. The system delivers a durable, easy-to-clean, and slip-resistant surface with a natural stone aesthetic, making it the ideal flooring solution for areas where stain and odor resistance, quick installation, and decorative finish are critical.

The Industrial Flooring Challenge: Common Pain Points for Companies & Contractors

Selecting the right flooring system is a critical decision for contractors, facility managers, and companies across various industries. The wrong choice leads to recurring problems, increased cost, and operational disruptions.

• Chemical Damage & Staining: Facilities like labs, kitchens, and warehouses face spills from oils, acids, solvents, and cleaning agents that degrade standard paint or coating, causing permanent stains and structural weakening.

• Excessive Downtime & High Cost: Traditional industrial flooring installations require lengthy concrete cure times (up to 28 days) and multi-step processes, leading to significant business interruption and higher labor cost.

• Poor Durability & Wear: High-traffic areas in warehouses, commercial spaces, and factories suffer from abrasion, impact, and crack formation, resulting in a worn, unprofessional appearance and frequent, costly repair.

• Safety Hazards: Slippery surfaces when wet or contaminated pose a major risk in bathrooms, kitchens, and processing areas. Lack of adequate slip resistance can lead to accidents.

• Difficult Maintenance & Cleaning: Porous or uneven surfaces trap dirt, grime, and bacteria, making them difficult to clean and maintain to industrial hygiene standards, especially in food service or manufacturer environments.

• Aesthetic Limitations: Many functional floors lack design appeal. Companies want a professional finish that enhances their space—options like gray, white, black, or stone looks—without sacrificing performance.

The ResuShield™ DSS EV Solution: Detailed Features & Benefits

Our epoxy flooring system is engineered to address these pain points directly, offering a comprehensive solution for contractors and end-users.

1. Rapid Installation & Reduced Downtime

• Fast Cure System: Achieves service readiness faster than traditional systems.

• Apply to Green Concrete: Can be installed on 7-day old concrete, bypassing the standard 28-day cure wait. This is a game-changer for companies on tight schedules.

• Simplified Layer System: A 3-4 layer system requires fewer steps than traditional 5-7 layer floors, speeding up the installation process for contractors.

2. Superior Chemical & Stain Resistance

• 7-Day NMP Resistance: Tested to ASTM D1308, offering protection against N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone, a common chemical challenge.

• Broad Chemical Tolerance: Resists a wide range of industrial chemicals, oils, and cleaning solutions, protecting your concrete substrate.

• Stain & Odor Resistance: Non-porous, seamless surface prevents absorption of liquids and odors, ideal for restrooms, kitchens, and food service areas.

3. Exceptional Durability & Mechanical Performance

• High Abrasion Resistance: Withstands heavy foot and wheeled traffic (ASTM D4060), offering 4-6 times greater abrasion resistance than standard epoxy topcoats.

• Forte adhérence : Bonds tenaciously to concrete (ASTM D4541, D7234), ensuring the coating system fails only if the concrete itself fails.

• Seamless & Crack-Resistant: The monolithic finish eliminates joints where dirt and moisture accumulate and helps shield against minor substrate crack reflection.

4. Enhanced Safety & Easy Maintenance

• Slip-Resistant Surface: Features a dynamic coefficient of friction (DCOF) of 0.72 (ANSI A326.3), exceeding the 0.42 industry standard for slip resistance, even when wet.

• Easy to Clean & Maintain: The seamless, non-absorbent finish allows for quick cleaning with standard equipment. Water and spills bead up for easy removal.

• Hygienic: Prevents bacterial growth, meeting the clean requirements of commercial, industrial, and institutional settings.

5. Aesthetic Versatility & Professional Finish

• Natural Stone Appearance: The decorative slurry creates stunning visual depth and a unique, high-end look reminiscent of marble or terrazzo.

• Color & Design Options: Available in a range of standard and custom colors (gray, grey, white, etc.) to match any design or corporate identity.

• Satin Finish: The UV-stable urethane topcoat provides a durable, attractive low-gloss or satin gloss finish that reduces light glare and hides minor imperfections.

6. Added Value & Long-Term Performance

• LEED® Contribution: Can contribute to Green Building credits under LEED v4, supporting sustainable business practices.

• Minor Repairs are Invisible: If damage occurs, repairs can be made that blend seamlessly with the surrounding area.

• Long Service Life: The combination of chemical, abrasion, and UV resistance ensures a long-lasting flooring investment.

Technical Specifications & Authoritative Data

The performance of ResuShield™ DSS EV is verified by independent laboratory testing against international standards.

Ideal Application Areas

This versatile system is the best choice for numerous industrial and commercial environments:

• Industrial & Manufacturing: Warehouses, factory floors, chemical processing plants, automotive bays, electronic cleanrooms.
• Commercial & Institutional: Hospital corridors, school hallways, office buildings, retail spaces, airport concourses.
• Alimentation et boissons : Processing plants, kitchens, bottling facilities, restrooms and locker rooms where stain and odor resistance is key.
• Logistics & Parking: Distribution centers, parking garages, loading docks requiring high abrasion resistance.
• Specialty Areas: Basement renovations, laboratory floors, showrooms requiring a high-gloss or decorative finish.

Professional Installation & Technical Support

A successful flooring project depends on proper preparation and application. We partner with certified contractors and provide comprehensive support.

Principales étapes de l'installation :

1. Surface Preparation & Prep: Concrete must be clean, dry, and sound. Steel shot blasting to a CSP 3-5 profile (ICRI 310.2R) is required for proper adhesion.

2. Test d'humidité : Critical step to measure internal humidity (ASTM F2170). Our optional moisture vapor barrier (Resuprime MVB) addresses high-moisture substrates.

3. Primer/Basecoat Application: Apply pigmented Resuflor DSP epoxy as a primer and basecoat.

4. Decorative Slurry Application: Trowel-apply the Resuflor DSS slurry mixture to achieve the desired thickness (60-80 mils) and stone effect.

5. Topcoat Application: Apply the final sealer – Resutile HTS 100 urethane topcoat – for chemical resistance, slip resistance, and UV stability.

6. Curing & Traffic: Allow system to cure as per guidelines before allowing foot traffic or heavy use.

Foire aux questions (FAQ)

Q: How long does the ResuShield DSS EV flooring system take to install?
A : The system is designed for a fast turnaround. While total project time depends on area square footage and conditions, the key advantage is its ability to be applyied to 7-day old ‘green’ concrete and its rapid cure times. This can reduce overall facility downtime by weeks.

Q: Can I install this flooring system myself (DIY)?
A : We strongly recommend professional installation by approved contractors. Achieving the system’s performance and aesthetic requires precise preparation and application techniques. Incorrect installation can void warranties.

Q: How does the cost compare to tile or standard epoxy?
A : While the initial price may be higher than basic epoxy paint, its long-term cost is often lower due to longevity, reduced maintenance, and minimal downtime. It provides more value than tile (no grout) and outperforms standard epoxy.

Q: How do I clean and maintain my ResuShield floor?
A : Cleaning is simple. Sweep or dust mop daily. For periodic cleaning, use a neutral pH cleaner. The seamless surface and stain resistance make upkeep easy.

Q: What is the minimum temperature for installation?
A : Substrate and ambient temperatures should be between 50°F and 90°F during application. Materials must be kept from freezing.
