ResuShield™ Gard MR Epoxy Flooring System

Description

Aperçu du produit

ResuShield™ Gard MR is a seamless, pigmented epoxy flooring system designed specifically for light-duty mechanical rooms, server rooms, data centers, and equipment rooms. It combines an optional primer/moisture barrier, a 100% solids elastomeric waterproofing membrane, a durable epoxy wear coat, and a recommended abrasion-resistant topcoat. This system delivers a non-slip, waterproof finish that protects concrete substrates from moisture, chemical exposure, and daily wear. ResuShield™ Gard MR is engineered for quick installation with minimal downtime, working seamlessly around floor drains and complex layouts. It is the trusted choice for contractors and facility managers seeking a reliable, long-lasting industrial flooring solution.

User Pain Points & Scenario Analysis

Industrial and commercial facilities face constant challenges with their concrete floors. In mechanical rooms, server rooms, and similar spaces, common issues include:

• Moisture Damage: Water vapor transmission from concrete slabs leads to coating blistering, delamination, and substrate damage.

• Chemical Exposure: Spills from oils, coolants, and cleaning agents degrade standard floors.

• Abrasion & Impact: Foot traffic and moving equipment cause wear, dusting, and cracking.

• Safety Hazards: Slippery surfaces, especially when wet, create risks for personnel.

• Downtime & Cost: Lengthy installation and curing processes disrupt operations and increase project costs.

Specific Scenarios:

• Data Centers & Server Rooms: Require static-control options, seamless surfaces to prevent dust, and reliable performance around critical infrastructure.

• Mechanical/Chiller Rooms: Need superior waterproofing to handle condensation and potential leaks from pipes and equipment.

• Equipment Rooms: Demand high abrasion resistance to withstand rolling carts and tool drops.

Product Solution & Key Features

The ResuShield™ Gard MR system directly addresses these pain points with a multi-layer, high-performance design.

Core Features & Benefits:

• Waterproof Protection: The Resuflor EOC membrane forms a seamless, elastomeric barrier (150% elongation) that stops water penetration, protecting the concrete substrate.

• Rapid Installation & Reduced Downtime: System design minimizes steps. It can be applied over green concrete (with primer) or 28+ day-old concrete, offering installation flexibility.

• Durable & Abrasion-Resistant: The 100% solids epoxy base coat provides a tough, seamless finish with high compressive strength (16,000 psi) and excellent abrasion resistance.

• Sécurité renforcée : Optional non-slip aggregates (like aluminum oxide broadcast) can be added to the wear coat or topcoat for superior traction, even when wet.

• Résistance chimique : The system includes a chemical-resistant topcoat (Resutile AT) proven to withstand typical industrial exposures. For harsher conditions, customized topcoats are available.

• Sans couture et hygiénique : The monolithic finish eliminates joints and cracks where dirt and moisture can accumulate, making it easy to clean and maintain.

• Aesthetic Flexibility: Available in a wide range of standard and custom colors with satin or gloss finishes to meet design specifications.

Domaines d'application

ResuShield™ Gard MR is the ideal flooring solution for environments requiring reliable moisture protection and durability:

• Mechanical Rooms & Chiller Plants

• Data Centers & Server Rooms

• Telecommunications Equipment Rooms

• Industrial Utility & Pump Rooms

• Light Manufacturing & Assembly Areas

• Commercial Building Service Corridors

Installation Process & Technical Support

Professional installation is key to system performance. The standard process includes:

1. Préparation de la surface : Critical step involving shot blasting or grinding to achieve a CSP 2-3 profile. The surface must be clean, dry, and sound.

2. Test d'humidité : ASTM F1869 or F2170 tests are performed. If vapor emission exceeds limits, a moisture mitigation primer (e.g., ResuShield MVP) is required.

3. Primer Application (Optional): Applied over green concrete or slabs with moisture concerns.

4. Waterproof Membrane Application: ResuShield EOC is squeegeed and rolled to a 20-mil thickness.

5. Body/Wear Coat Application: ResuShield Gard is applied at 16 mils. Optional non-slip aggregate can be broadcast into this coat.

6. Topcoat Application: Resutile AT is rolled on as a final protective and aesthetic layer (3-4 mils).

Our Technical Support: We provide comprehensive support including construction document review, CAD details, pre-installation conferences, and on-site guidance to ensure specification compliance and a flawless finish.

Foire aux questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ResuShield™ Gard MR be installed over existing concrete?
A: Yes, provided the concrete is structurally sound, properly prepared (shot blasted), and passes moisture emission tests.

Q: What is the difference between this epoxy system and a polyurethane coating?
A: This epoxy system offers superior adhesion, chemical resistance, and tensile strength as a base/wear layer. The recommended Resutile AT topcoat provides enhanced abrasion and UV resistance. Polyurethane topcoats are often used for exceptional UV stability and flexibility; we can advise on the best topcoat for your specific needs.

Q: How long does the installation and curing process take?
A: The system can be installed quickly due to reduced steps. Each coat requires specific cure times (typically 8-12 hours for foot traffic). Full chemical and abrasion resistance is achieved in 5-7 days at 70°F.

Q : Quelle est la maintenance nécessaire ?
A: Maintenance is simple. Regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping with a neutral pH cleaner are sufficient. Avoid harsh acids or abrasive cleaners.

Q: What is the typical cost per square foot?
A: The final cost depends on substrate condition, project size, color choice, and optional features like non-slip aggregate. Contact us for a detailed quote tailored to your project.
