The challenge
Arvind Limited (formerly Arvind Mills) is a textile company. Textile mill shop floors collect fibre deposits, yarn waste and fabric selvedges, and carry constant trolley traffic. This means the floors need periodic maintenance. The mill wanted a durable flooring system for its shop floor production area of about 3000 m2 that would resist abrasion and production deposits and also look good.
The DCP solution
DCP proposed a 3 mm epoxy floor system. It comprises an epoxy primer coat of about 80 to 100 microns DFT, a 2 mm epoxy underlay of Strongcoat EU500, and a 1 mm self levelling epoxy top coat of Strongcoat SL1. The system was chosen for durability, abrasion resistance, resistance to production deposits and appearance. The top coat was tinted on site to match the exact colour required.
