About Protectocoat Tuffloor ESL
Tuffloor ESL: A heavy duty epoxy floor system for engineering & Automotive industry to provide durable epoxy floor for heavy traffic movements like fork lift and other heavy object movement as this floor system have exceptional bonding, compressive strength and moderate strength to impact load which is rare in any other epoxy flooring systems,
Superior Mechanical PropertiesWith a compressive strength of at least 70 N/mm2 and a robust bond leading to concrete failure (>1.5 N/mm2), Protectocoat Tuffloor ESL offers a resilient surface that withstands heavy loads and rigorous use. This ensures longevity and minimal maintenance requirements for high-traffic zones.
Chemical and Abrasion ResistanceTuffloor ESL is formulated to exhibit excellent resistance to abrasion and good resistance against moderate chemical exposure. The seamless glossy surface maintains its integrity and aesthetic appearance even in challenging conditions, making it suitable for manufacturing, processing, and service areas.
Simple Application ProcessApplication is straightforward using a trowel or roller. The mixed components (ratio 4:1 by weight) should be used within a 30-minute pot life at 30C. The flooring system cures for light usage in 24 hours and reaches full durability after 7 days, streamlining project turnaround imes.
FAQ's of Protectocoat Tuffloor ESL:
Q: How should the substrate be prepared before applying Protectocoat Tuffloor ESL?
A: Ensure that the surface is thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free of dust, oil, grease, or any contaminants. Proper surface preparation, such as mechanical abrasion or shot blasting, is essential for optimal adhesion and performance.
Q: What is the typical application process for Protectocoat Tuffloor ESL?
A: Mix Part A and Part B at a 4:1 ratio by weight. Apply the mixture evenly using a trowel or roller to achieve a thickness of 1-3 mm. Complete installation within the 30-minute pot life at 30C for best results.
Q: When can the floor be subjected to light traffic after installation?
A: The newly applied Tuffloor ESL floor can be exposed to light foot traffic after 24 hours, while full curing for heavy use and chemical resistance is achieved after 7 days.
Q: Where is Protectocoat Tuffloor ESL ideally used?
A: It is suitable for industrial and commercial environments in India that require high compressive strength, excellent abrasion resistance, and moderate chemical protection, such as production floors, warehouses, and processing areas.
Q: What are the benefits of using Protectocoat Tuffloor ESL flooring system?
A: Users gain a durable, glossy surface with outstanding mechanical and abrasion resistance, good chemical protection, and easy maintenance. The flooring also provides fast turnaround and long-term reliability.
Q: How much Protectocoat Tuffloor ESL will I need for my project?
A: The system typically covers 3-4 kg per square meter at a 2 mm thickness. Coverage may vary depending on surface conditions and desired thickness.
Q: What is the recommended storage condition for Protectocoat Tuffloor ESL?
A: Store the product in a cool and dry place. In unopened condition, it maintains a shelf life of 12 months, ensuring its chemical and physical properties remain stable until use.
