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, which creates the bulk of the floor thickness and provides many of the key performance elements such as impact resistance, flexibility and compressive strength, as well as defining the decorative finish of the floor.
Most resin floors will be finished with 1 to 3 seal coats to encapsulate the body coat and decorative element of the floor and provide the final performance characteristics, such as chemical and wear resistance.

Why choose resin flooring?
Resin flooring is most often selected for one of the following reasons:

·         Protects the substrate from damage
Most resin flooring systems offer far better wear, impact and chemical resistance than the substrates they cover.
·         Offers unrivalled hygiene and ease of maintenance
Resin finishes are seamless, hygienic and easy to clean; they also stop the dusting of cementitious substrates.
·         Creates safer working environments
Slip resistant versions of resin flooring offer outstanding performance in demanding production environments and the hygienic seamless nature makes resin flooring ideal for healthcare facilities / pharmaceutical factories etc.
·         Offers almost unlimited design flexibility
Many resin floors are now available in a wide range of decorative finishes, often bespoke, that can deliver a unique look to even the smallest project, often without a cost premium.

MARKET FORMS OF STEEL

Following are the standard shapes in which the rolled steel sections are available in the market- 1. Angle sections- The Angle section may be equal legs or unequal legs. The equal angle sections are available in sizes varying from 20 mm x 20 mm x 3 mm to 200 mm x 200 mm x 25 mm. The corresponding weight per meter length are respectively 9 N and 736 N. The unequal angle sections are available in sizes varying from 30 mm x 20 mm x 3 mm to 200 mm x 150 mm x 18 mm. The corresponding weight per meter length are respectively 11 N and 469 N. The angle section extensively used in the structural steel work especially in the construction of steel roof trusses and filler joist floors. 2. Channel Section- The channel section consist of a web with two equal flanges. A channel section is designated by the height of web and width of flange. These sections are available in sizes varying from 100 mm x 45 mm to 400 mm x 100 mm. The corresponding weights per metre length are respectively 5

Road consist of basically 4 layers: Sub-grade: The sub-grade material should be clean and free from organic matter and should be able to be compacted by roller, to form stable sub-base. The material should have the following characteristics: ·          Well graded, uniformity coefficient (D60/D10) should not be less than 3. ·          Fraction passing sieve #200 shall not be greater than 2/3rd of the fraction passing sieve #40. ·          Should have a L.L not greater than 25%. ·          P.I not greater than 6 ·          CBR should not be less than 25. ·          In coarse grain, aggregate retained by #10 sieve, %age of wear shall not be greater than 5%. ·          The maximum dia of any particle shall not be greater than 2/3rd of the layer thickness of sub-base Typical particle size distribution for the sub-base (granular) which will the meet strength requirements are: 2.Sub-base Course: ·          It is layer of granular mat
