There are a number of challenges that come up while applying floor markings in cold warehouses. The most significant of these is that ordinary paints don’t cure in below-freezing temperatures, frequently requiring area closures for up to 72 hours. To prevent contamination, there’s also the possibility that entire areas might have to be relocated. These problems may seriously affect operations, especially if fading markings require frequent recoating.
At UV Line Marking, we’ve resolved these challenges by utilising the most advanced materials and installation methods. Our solution, the Fully UV line marking system, ensures the resilience of floor markings by combining standard resin coating with one of three RapidShieldTM performance topcoats: RapidShieldTM 0007, RapidShieldTM 1001 WB Matte Topcoat, or RapidShieldTM anti-slip topcoats.
The Fully UV Line Marking System follows a precise process:
Mechanical Surface Preparation: We mechanically grind the floor surface to create a strong mechanical key for optimal adhesion.
Primer Application: A primer coat is applied to enhance adhesion and ensure uniform coverage.
Colour Coating: Two colour coats are applied to achieve the desired appearance and visibility.
Top Clear Coat: Finally, a top clear coat is applied to provide added protection and durability.
This innovative system offers significant improvements in lifespan compared to standard line paint, along with an appealing and highly visible appearance over long distances.
With exceptional chemical resistance, minimal odor, solvent-free composition, and a wide temperature application range, the RapidShield™ component of the Fully UV Line Marking System is suitable for the most challenging environments, including chiller and cold rooms. Moreover, each coat is instantly cured by using our UV Floor Machine, allowing application to continue seamlessly alongside ongoing work.
Whatever the application, UV Line Marking is the solution. For more information, please contact us.
