What is resin flooring?
http://www.applechemie.com A resin floor is a hard wearing plastic surface, created by mixing together a selection of ingredients to initiate a fast and controlled chemical reaction. The chemical reaction creates a highly durable finish, ideal for the heaviest use environments. In the simplest form (a resin coating), the ingredients consist of a formulated synthetic resin and separate hardener. As performance demands intensify (typically resulting in an increase in resin floor thickness), the range of ingredients grows to include aggregates, pigments, decorative chips / flakes and in some cases cement powder. The thicker type resin floor types are almost always harder than concrete. Most resin floors utilise a primer which penetrates into / reacts with the substrate to create a high strength and reliable bond which is essential to the longevity of the floor. The primer is typically followed by a main structural layer, often referred to as the body coat, wh
