ResuShield™ Topfloor MER II Epoxy Flooring System

Descrição

Visão geral do produto

ResuShield™ Topfloor MER II is a high-performance, crack-bridging epoxy flooring system engineered for demanding mechanical equipment rooms and industrial environments. It combines a flexible, waterproofing membrane with a chemically resistant topcoat to create a seamless, monolithic surface. This system provides exceptional durability, slip resistance, and long-term protection against cracks, chemicals, and heavy wear. Designed to deliver reliable performance without the use of migrating plasticizers, ResuShield™ Topfloor MER II offers a robust solution for companies and contractors seeking a permanent flooring coating for critical industrial spaces.

The Problem with Standard Industrial Flooring

Facility managers and contractors know the challenges of maintaining concrete floors in harsh settings. Common failures include:

• Crack Propagation: Substrate movement causes cracks to reflect through standard coatings, leading to leaks and system failure.

• Chemical Attack: Spills from oils, fluids, and cleaning solutions degrade ordinary paint and sealers.

• Abrasion & Impact Damage: Constant traffic from heavy equipment and dropped tools causes premature wear, dusting, and pitting.

• Hygiene & Cleanliness Issues: Porous surfaces trap dirt and moisture, making cleaning difficult and compromising sanitation in commercial kitchens, locker rooms, and warehouses.

Our Solution: ResuShield™ Topfloor MER II System Features

The ResuShield™ Topfloor MER II system is specifically formulated to address these industrial flooring challenges. Its multi-layer application ensures a complete shield for your substrate.

1. Unmatched Crack Bridging & Waterproofing

The core membrane layer is a flexible epoxy resin that bridges dynamic and hairline cracks in the concrete, preventing them from telegraphing to the surface. This creates a continuous, waterproof barrier that protects the subfloor from moisture infiltration, a critical feature for basement levels and areas exposed to water.

2. Superior Chemical & Stain Resistance

The topcoat provides a durable, non-porous finish that resists a wide range of industrial chemicals, including oils, greases, and mild acids. This makes cleaning spills quick and easy, protecting your concrete and maintaining a professional appearance. It’s an ideal solution for mechanical rooms, warehouses, and cleanrooms.

3. Enhanced Durability & Slip Resistance

An optional wearcourse layer, broadcast with hard aggregate like silica sand, can be added for extreme wear, impact, and abrasion resistance. This creates a textured surface that provides excellent slip resistance even when wet, enhancing safety in bathrooms, kitchens, and entryways.

4. Long-Term Flexibility & Performance

Unlike systems that rely on plasticizers, ResuShield™ achieves lasting flexibility intrinsically. This means the coating won’t become brittle or lose its crack-bridging ability over time, ensuring long-term performance and reducing the need for repair.

5. Customizable Aesthetic & Functional Finish

Available in standard and custom colors (gray, white, black, etc.) and gloss levels, the system can meet both functional and design requirements. The seamless, easy-to-clean surface is superior to tile or stone for industrial and commercial settings.

Technical Specifications & Data

Ideal Application Areas

The ResuShield™ Topfloor MER II system is the best choice for a wide range of demanding environments:

• Mechanical & Equipment Rooms: Protects floors from tool drops, fluid spills, and constant foot traffic.

• Industrial Warehouses & Logistics Centers: Withstands heavy pallet jack and forklift wear, impact, and abrasion.

• Commercial Kitchens & Food Processing Areas: Provides a seamless, chemical-resistant, and easy-to-clean surface that meets hygiene standards.

• Locker Rooms & Showers: Offers waterproofing and slip-resistant safety in wet areas.

• Parking Garages & Automotive Shops: Resists fluids, salts, and tire wear with a durable finish.

Professional Installation Process

A successful installation is key to performance. Our recommended process for contractors and professional installers includes:

1. Surface Preparation (Prep): Concrete must be abrasive blasted to a CSP 3-5 profile to ensure proper adhesion. All contaminants, laitance, and cracks must be addressed.

2. Priming: A primer (basecoat) is applied to seal the substrate and promote bond.

3. Membrane Application: The crack-bridging epoxy resin membrane is applied at 20 mils WFT.

4. Wearcourse (Optional): A second coat of resin is applied and immediately broadcast with sand or aggregate for texture and durability.

5. Topcoat Sealing: A final chemical-resistant topcoat or sealer is applied to lock in the aggregate and provide the final wear surface.

6. Curing: The system requires proper time to cure before being opened to traffic.

Nota: We strongly advise partnering with a qualified installer or contractor experienced with epoxy flooring systems. KAIDA PAINT provides comprehensive technical support, from specification to application.

Perguntas frequentes (FAQ)

Q: What is the main difference between the MER II system and a standard epoxy coat?
A: The key difference is the integrated flexible membrane. While a standard epoxy coating may be hard, the MER II system is engineered to bridge moving cracks and provide true waterproofing, making it far more durable in environments with substrate movement.

Q: How long does the installation take, and what is the downtime?
A: The installation process typically takes 3-4 days for a standard area, including prep, application, and curing. The area should be closed to traffic for a minimum of 24-48 hours after the final topcoat, with full chemical cure achieved in about 7 days.

Q: Can this flooring be installed in a residential basement or garage?
A: While engineered for industrial and commercial use, its superior waterproofing and durability make it an excellent (though premium) solution for residential basements and garages where moisture or heavy use is a concern.

P: Que manutenção é necessária?
A: Maintenance is simple. Routine cleaning with a mild detergent and a bristle brush (for textured surfaces) is recommended. Avoid harsh solvents. Immediate cleanup of oil or chemical spills will prolong the finish. Periodic inspection and re-application of a sealer can extend service life.
