Case Study: Application of Industrial Resin Flooring in an Underground Garage with Neopox SF Plus

Providing a durable and resistant floor in high-traffic areas, such as underground parking garages and industrial facilities, is crucial for their longevity and safety. In this case study, we present the comprehensive application process of the solvent-free Neopox SF Plus , from substrate preparation and application to final finishing and marking.

What are the key steps in substrate preparation before applying epoxy resin?

Before applying Neopox SF Plus , proper substrate preparation is crucial. These steps include:

• Sanding the surface to effectively remove old, loose coatings that could weaken the adhesion of the new resin.
• Widening and thorough cleaning of existing cracks and expansion joints , ensuring their proper filling and the durability of the entire floor.
• Ensuring that the substrate is completely free of any contaminants is absolutely essential for proper resin adhesion.
• Washing the concrete floor with a special Sulfanol A mixed with water , which helps remove more difficult dirt.
• Application of suitable soil:
  
  
  • , Neopox Primer WS is used .
  • For dry concrete, a different primer is used, such as Epoxol Primer SF . We encourage you to use our resin flooring system selector to help you choose the right resin system for your project requirements.
    
    
• Approximately 24 hours after priming, the properly primed surface should be uniformly glossy. Only then can you proceed to applying the topcoat resin.

What products and techniques are used for application and finishing of the floor?

After properly preparing the surface, we move on to applying the appropriate products:

• Main topcoat resin: Solvent-free epoxy resin is applied Neopox SF Plus.
  
  
  • This product can be applied in two layers using a roller or in one layer using a squeegee .
  • Thanks to its solvent-free formula, Neopox SF Plus is safe and suitable for application in closed rooms.
    
    
• Filling gaps : Any localized gaps in the floor are precisely filled with Epoxol Putty . Once filled, the process continues with a second coat of Neopox SF Plus resin.
• Road markings : 24 hours after applying the second layer of Neopox SF Plus, you can begin marking the road using Neopox Special . This is crucial for traffic management and safety, especially in garages.
• Filling the expansion joints : At the very end of the process, in order to ensure the flexibility and durability of the floor in the expansion joints, these joints are filled with the elastic polyurethane mass Neotex PU Joint .

What are the properties and applications of the presented resin flooring system?

The presented resin floor system, based on Neopox SF Plus , is characterized by a number of desirable properties and a wide range of applications:

Properties:

• Solvent-free formula : As mentioned, this feature makes the product safe and ideal for application in closed spaces.
• Heavy Traffic Resistance : The system is designed to withstand heavy pedestrian and vehicular traffic, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas.
• PZH certificate : Neopox SF Plus is PZH certified, which confirms its health safety and suitability for industrial applications.

Applications:

• Industry : Neopox SF Plus is a very good proposition for industrial applications where high mechanical and chemical resistance is required.
• General use : Due to its resistance, the system can be used in areas exposed to high traffic, such as underground garages.
• Comprehensive solution : The presented system is a complete flooring solution, including solid preparation of the substrate, application of the topcoat resin, precise filling of gaps, execution of horizontal markings, as well as flexible filling of expansion joints.

Summary

The Neopox SF Plus resin flooring system is a comprehensive and durable solution for demanding surfaces, guaranteeing resistance and longevity in intensive use. Thanks to high-quality materials, proper substrate preparation, and professional application, the resin floor will remain durable and aesthetically pleasing for a long time.
