ResuShield™ Mechanical Room SB Epoxy Flooring System

Description

Product Overview

The ResuShield™ Mechanical Room SB is a robust, five-coat epoxy flooring system specifically engineered for industrial mechanical rooms and commercial utility spaces. This system integrates a flexible waterproofing membrane with a single broadcast of high-strength silica sand to create a seamless, highly durable, and crack-resistant surface. It provides outstanding resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and physical impact while maintaining a moderate slip-resistant texture. The ResuShield™ Mechanical Room SB epoxy flooring system delivers reliable, long-term protection for critical infrastructure where moisture, chemical spills, and heavy traffic are constant concerns.

User Pain Points & Application Scenarios

Facility managers and contractors face persistent challenges with standard concrete or basic paint solutions in demanding environments. Common industrial flooring failures include:

• Cracking and Water Ingress: Substrate movement and thermal stress lead to cracks, allowing water to damage the base and equipment below.

• Chemical Degradation: Spills from oils, lubricants, cleaning solutions, and process chemicals quickly break down surfaces, causing pitting and staining.

• Rapid Wear and Dusting: Constant foot and equipment traffic wears down the finish, generating hazardous and uncleanable dust (chipping).

• Safety Hazards: Slick surfaces, especially when wet or oily, create slip risks for personnel, leading to potential accidents.

• Difficult Maintenance: Porous or uneven surfaces trap dirt and grime, making cleaning labor-intensive and ineffective.

The ResuShield™ SB system directly tackles these issues in key application areas such as:

• HVAC and Plant Mechanical Rooms: Demanding waterproofing and chemical resistance.

• Industrial and Manufacturing Facilities: Exposed to heavy loads, metal shavings, and thermal cycling.

• Commercial Building Utility Areas: Including basements, pump rooms, and service corridors.

• Light Industrial Warehouses: Requiring a tough, seamless surface for easy cleaning and equipment movement.

Product Solution & Detailed Features

The ResuShield™ Mechanical Room SB epoxy flooring system is a total solution built for performance and longevity.

Core System Advantages:

• Superior Crack Bridging: The flexible membrane core allows the flooring to move with the substrate, preventing reflective cracking.

• Enhanced Durability: A five-coat build with a broadcast of 20-40 mesh silica sand provides excellent thickness and mechanical wear resistance, far exceeding standard epoxy coatings.

• Proven Chemical Resistance: The system’s topcoat is formulated to withstand a broad range of industrial chemicals, oils, and solvents, facilitating easy clean-up and spill containment.

• Slip-Resistant Safety: The broadcast aggregate creates a consistent, moderate texture that provides reliable traction, reducing slip hazards even in wet conditions.

• Seamless & Hygienic: The fluid-applied, joint-free finish prevents dirt and moisture accumulation, supporting high standards of cleanliness.

• Aesthetic Flexibility: Available in standard and custom colors (like gray, white, and beige) with a durable, satin gloss urethane topcoat that resists yellowing.

Detailed System Composition:

1. Primer (ResuShield™ MPE): A flexible epoxy primer ensures strong adhesion to the prepared concrete substrate.

2. Membrane Build Coats (ResuShield™ 2444): Two 20-mil coats form the primary waterproofing and flexible barrier.

3. Broadcast Reinforcement: A layer of 20-40 mesh silica sand is broadcast into the wet membrane, embedding for added strength and texture.

4. Grout Coat (ResuShield™ MPE): Seals the broadcast aggregate, creating a smooth, solid base.

5. Topcoat (Resutile™ HTS 100): A light-stable urethane topcoat provides the final wear and chemical resistance layer with an attractive satin finish.

Technical Specifications & Authoritative Data

Performance is validated through independent laboratory testing against recognized ASTM standards.

Application Areas

This versatile system is specified by engineers and companies across numerous sectors:

• Industrial & Manufacturing: Factory floors, processing areas, warehouse aisles.

• Commercial & Institutional: School and hospital mechanical rooms, commercial basements, utility rooms.

• Facilities Management: For long-term repair and upgrade projects in existing buildings.

• Light Chemical Processing: Areas requiring resistance to occasional chemical spills.

Professional Installation Process & Support

Proper installation by certified contractors is paramount. The key steps include:

1. Surface Preparation (Prep): Concrete must be abrasive-blasted to a CSP 3-5 profile. All contaminants must be removed, and cracks filled.

2. Primer Application: The primer is mixed and applied to seal the substrate.

3. Membrane & Broadcast: The build coats are applied, and silica sand is broadcast for reinforcement.

4. Grout & Topcoat Application: The grout coat seals the sand, followed by the final urethane topcoat.

5. Curing: Allow 24 hours for light traffic; full properties develop in 7-14 days.

Our Technical Support: We provide end-to-end support, including specification guidance, application instructions, and on-site assistance for your contractor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the main difference between the ResuShield™ SB and DB systems?
The SB is a five-coat system with a single sand broadcast, offering excellent all-around performance. The DB is a six-coat system with a double sand broadcast, designed for even more extreme wear and slip resistance. The SB provides a best value for many industrial mechanical rooms.

What is the approximate cost per square foot?
The cost varies based on substrate condition, project size (square footage), and location. As a premium system, it represents an investment in long-term asset protection. Contact us for a project-specific quote.

Can this be used in a residential garage?
While technically possible, it is over-engineered and not cost-effective for home use. We offer other epoxy and polyurethane kits better suited for diy or residential garage flooring.

How do I clean and maintain this floor?
For routine cleaning, use a bristle brush or power scrubber with a mild detergent. For oil stains, a cleaner/degreaser is effective. The seamless surface makes cleaning much easier than tile grout or bare concrete.

What is the installation timeline?
The multi-coat process typically requires several days, factoring in coating and curing times between layers. The area can usually handle light traffic after 24 hours.
