Industrial performance flooring plays a critical role in ensuring the functionality, safety, and durability of various industrial and commercial environments. Therefore, finding the perfect match for your specific needs calls for careful consideration. Among the many options available, PUC flooring (polyurethane) stands out due to its exceptional properties and remains a favourite among contractors.
From food processing and pharmaceutical facilities adhering to HACCP standards to manufacturing plants requiring heavy-duty solutions, industrial performance flooring such as Weberfloor PUC MF and Weberfloor PUC HD provides the reliability and performance necessary for demanding spaces. Despite their unparalleled benefits, contractors often face common challenges during their application. Let's take a look at the benefits these flooring solutions can bring, some of the common issues encountered by contractors, and how to effectively mitigate them to achieve flawless, long-lasting results.
What is PUC Industrial Performance Flooring?
PUC industrial performance flooring combines thermosetting polyurethane resin and aggregate, resulting in a rigid elastomeric polymer finish upon application. This seamless, durable surface is ideal for highly demanding industrial environments. With features like high abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and impact resistance, PUC flooring can effectively cater to specific needs, such as HACCP compliance requirements and safety standards.
While Weberfloor PUC MF and Weberfloor PUC HD come with the above-mentioned features, you must adhere to industry best practices at the time of application to avoid common issues. This is where the expertise of the contractors becomes invaluable. Here are some of the common concerns contractors face and how to effectively overcome them:
Common Concerns and Solutions
1.) Curing Problems
Issue: Industrial performance flooring may fail to cure properly due to improper mixing, incorrect environmental conditions, or contamination.
Solutions:
Surface preparation: Clean the substrate thoroughly to remove contaminants like oil, grease, or dirt.
Follow manufacturer instructions: Strictly adhere to product guidelines for mixing ratios, application time, and curing periods.
Maintain stable temperature: Ensure the application area has a consistent temperature within the manufacturer’s recommended range.
2.) Delamination/Debonding
Issue: Improper adhesion between the PUC and substrate can lead to peeling, compromising the floor's integrity.
Solutions:
Surface preparation: Mechanically abrade the surface to create a rough profile for better adhesion.
Use a high-quality primer: To improve bonding, apply a primer that is appropriate for the substrate material.
3.) Discolouration
Issue: Exposure to UV light or the use of non-UV-resistant PUC can cause discolouration or yellowing over time.
Solutions:
Use UV-resistant PUC coatings: Opt for products like polyurethane-based topcoats that resist UV degradation.
Protect from direct sunlight: Incorporate protective measures, such as UV-blocking films or coatings, in areas with high sun exposure.
4.) Cracking
Issue: Cracks may appear due to substrate movement, improper application thickness, or thermal stress.
Solutions:
Ensure proper surface preparation: Address any cracks in the substrate before application to prevent future propagation.
5.) Bubbling
Issue: Bubbling occurs due to trapped air, moisture, or improper application techniques.
Solutions:
Surface preparation: Ensure the substrate is completely dry and free of moisture.
Carefully mix and measure components: Avoid introducing air into the mixture during preparation.
Apply under recommended environmental conditions: Maintain appropriate humidity levels and temperature during application.
