A resin flooring is a hard plastic surface made by mixing together different ingredients to start a fast and controlled chemical reaction. The chemical reaction makes a finish that can stand up to even the most intense use.
A resin coating is the simplest type of resin flooring.
It is made up of:
1. Formulated synthetic resin
2. Separate hardener
As performance requirements get higher, the thickness of the resin flooring usually gets thicker. As a result, the list of ingredients includes more things like aggregates, pigments, decorative chips or flakes, and in some cases, cement powder.
Step 1 – Primer
Most resin floors have a primer that goes into the substrate and reacts with it to make a strong, reliable bond that is important for the floor to last.
Step 2: Cover the body
After the primer, there is usually a main structural layer, which is often called the "body coat". This layer makes up most of the thickness of the floor and gives it many of its key performance characteristics, such as impact resistance, flexibility, and compressive strength. It also gives the floor its decorative finish.
Step 3 – Seal coat
Most resin floors will be finished with one to three seal coats to protect the body coat and decorative part of the floor and give it its final performance characteristics, such as chemical and wear resistance.
Different kinds of resin floors
Most resin flooring systems are made with one of three main types of resin:
• Methyl Methacrylate (MMA)
• Epoxy
• Polyurethanes (PU)
