OVERVIEW: The concrete floor in a chemical process area of the brewery had broken tiles, defective grout and contamination of concrete substrate. It required a coating system and sealing solution that will ensure long-term corrosion in excess of 15 years service.
INDUSTRY
ENVIRONMENT
Chemicals, atmospheric, no abrasive blasting
SUBSTRATE
Tiled Concrete Floor
CHALLENGE
To provide a coating system offering a long-term corrosion and sealing solution that will ensure in excess of 15 years service to the tiled floor of a brewery. System has to be easily cleaned and resistant to process chemicals. Tiled concrete floor had broken tiles, defective grout and contamination of concrete substrate. Area would not allow abrasive blasting.
SOLUTION
We recommended the 500 series: priming with RX 500P, followed by RA 564 Top coat and RI 800 Grout replacement. This system has an extremely fast turnaround and cure time, with no odour, is food grade approved, easy to clean and will exceed life requirement.
SCOPE
High pressure water blast to remove contamination and loose grout
Application of 1 coat RX 500P at 100 microns to seal and bind tiles
Repairs using RI 800 and 1 coat of RA 564 to a DFT of 200 microns
OUTCOME
Due to the fast turnaround and cure time, there was minimal disruption to the manufacturing process and the easy to maintain system with long life requirement also resulted in reduced maintenance costs for the customer
