ResuShield™ Gard Epoxy Flooring System

Description

Product Overview

ResuShield™ Gard is a 100% solids, pigmented epoxy floor coating system designed for demanding industrial and commercial environments. By combining a high-performance epoxy base coat with a durable urethane topcoat, it creates a seamless, monolithic surface. This system offers exceptional abrasion resistance, chemical stain resistance, and easy maintenance. It provides a long-lasting, high-gloss finish that solves problems of dusting, degradation, and difficult cleaning in facilities like warehouses, manufacturing plants, and laboratories.

Common Industrial Flooring Problems & Where ResuShield™ Gard Excels

Industrial and commercial floors face constant abuse. Traditional concrete floors crack, dust, and absorb stains. Paint peels under forklift traffic. Moisture leads to blistering and mold. These issues cause downtime, safety hazards, and high long-term costs.

• Food & Beverage Plants: Require seamless, chemical-resistant floors for easy cleaning and sanitization. ResuShield™ Gard withstands acids, alkalis, and frequent washdowns.

• Warehouses & Logistics Centers: Need extreme durability against impact, abrasion from pallet jacks, and heavy foot traffic. The system’s toughness prevents damage.

• Manufacturing & Automotive Shops: Face oil, grease, and solvent spills. This epoxy coating provides superior stain resistance and chemical protection.

• Laboratories & Pharmaceutical Cleanrooms: Demand non-porous, hygienic surfaces that are easy to disinfect and meet stringent regulatory standards.

ResuShield™ Gard Solution: Core Features & Technical Advantages

Our epoxy flooring system is engineered to meet these challenges head-on with a blend of mechanical strength and chemical inertness.

Unmatched Durability & Performance

• Abrasion Resistance: With a Taber Abrasion loss of only 35 mg (ASTM D4060), it far outlasts standard paints and thin coatings.

• Impact Resistance: Withstands moderate impacts from dropped tools and light vehicle traffic (MIL-D-3134, 0.025″ max indentation).

• High Load Strength: Features a compressive strength of 16,000 psi (ASTM D695) and tensile strength of 3,000 psi (ASTM D638).

Superior Chemical & Stain Resistance

The seamless, non-porous finish resists discoloration and damage from a wide range of common industrial chemicals, oils, and cleaning agents, simplifying maintenance.

Enhanced Safety & Cleanability

• Slip Resistance: Can be formulated to meet required static (>0.6) and dynamic wet (>0.42) coefficients of friction (ANSI standards). Non-skid additives are available.

• Seamless & Hygienic: No grout lines or cracks to harbor bacteria, making it ideal for facilities where cleanliness is critical.

• Easy to Clean: The high-gloss, smooth surface allows for quick spill cleanup with standard industrial cleaners.

Aesthetic Flexibility & Professional Finish

Available in a range of standard and custom colors, it provides a consistent, attractive finish that brightens any workspace. The system cures to a high-gloss sheen that lasts without waxing.

Professional Installation Process & Our Support

A successful, long-lasting floor depends on proper installation. Our recommended process ensures optimal performance:

1. Surface Preparation (Most Critical): Concrete must be shot-blasted or diamond-ground to a CSP 2-3 profile, clean, dry, and sound.

2. Priming: Application of a high-bonding, moisture-tolerant epoxy primer to ensure adhesion.

3. Base Coat Application: The ResuShield™ Gard 100% solids epoxy is applied via notched squeegee and roller to the specified thickness.

4. Topcoat Application: A protective urethane topcoat (like Resutile AT) is rolled on, providing enhanced chemical resistance and gloss retention.

KAIDA PAINT provides comprehensive technical support, including site condition review, specification guidance, and on-site consultation for contractors and companies to ensure a flawless installation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the difference between epoxy and polyurethane flooring?
A: Epoxy systems like ResuShield™ Gard offer superior adhesion and chemical resistance. Polyurethane topcoats (often used over epoxy) provide enhanced UV stability and abrasion resistance. Our system combines both for optimal performance.

Q: How long does the Resuflor Gard installation take?
A: The timeline depends on area size and conditions. Typically, after proper concrete prep, the coating system itself can be applied over 2-3 days, with full cure and readiness for light traffic in 3-5 days.

Q: What is the cost per square foot for an epoxy floor?
A: The total cost depends on concrete condition, floor preparation needed, desired thickness, and project location. For an accurate quote, please contact us.

Q: Can I install epoxy flooring myself (DIY)?
A: While kits are available, professional installation is strongly recommended for industrial and commercial applications. Proper surface prep and mixing are critical to performance.
