Put simply, a reactive resin system takes constituent components that
chemically react when mixed to form a hard wearing and durable final
product.
The alternatives...
There are three main resin based flooring systems marketed
in the UK:
Epoxy
Polyurethane
Methyl Methacrylate
All have particular strengths and limitations, but
The National Flooring Company Ltd has chosen to offer
only Degafloor® Resin
Systems (methyl methacrylate), unless very high temperatures
will be encountered, in which case a polyurethane system
will be offered. This decision is based on years of
experience of all flooring systems and the strong evidence
regarding which system is the best suited to today's
industrial and heavy commercial installations.
Degafloor® versus the rest...
Degafloor®
Polyurethane
Epoxy
Cure times
UV light stability
Aesthetic choice
Hygienic finish
Anti-slip properties
Thermal resistance
With a Degafloor® system, the above benefits can
be achieved with installation temperatures as low as
minus 30 degrees C, whereas epoxy and polyurethane
systems require higher temperatures to cure and so
cannot be
installed
at
low temperatures.
