Description and Uses

The Acrylicon Flake System is 2-3mm thick and encapsulates decorative flakes within its chemically bonded monolithic structure. The system is designed for heavy traffic and moderate industrial use, combining unparalleled longevity with great aesthetics and is available in a multitude of colours. By using our unique blend of colour flakes, we are able to provide granite or marble style floors in a fraction of the time normally associated with the traditional systems.

Designed for heavy foot traffic and medium industry, for example supermarkets, shopping centres, retail, hospitals, stadiums, schools, mass-transit, bathrooms and other areas where aesthetics, durability and cleanability are paramount.

• Long lasting – our floors do not degrade, become brittle or porous with use.

System

Cleaning and Maintenance

Clean regularly using a mechanical Scrubber/Dryer. Cylindrical machines with built a in vacuum are best suited in combination with a neutral degreaser. Contact your nearest AcryliCon office for advice.

Cure Time

The Flake System is fully cured within 2 hours after installation and may be put into full use by the customer.

Properties and Application

Acrylicon primer, body and top coat resins are transparent, solvent-free, medium viscosity and non-toxic when cured. Acrylicon Flake System Bodycoat is a slightly elasticised resin into which coloured decorative flakes can be fully or partially broadcast. Acrylicon Flake Topcoat is used as a colourless top coat. Acrylicon Sealer is then used as a wear resistant sealer. The curing time is about 1 hour at 20°C/68°F (ambient). The lowest application temperature (substrate and material) is 5°C/41°F.

Substrate

The concrete strength must not be less than 22.5N/mm2 (3250psi). Cores may be required for laboratory testing if any doubt exists. The substrate must be solid, free of dirt, oil, dust and other contaminants that would prevent bonding. It is necessary to protect the substrate from rising moisture and ground water pressure.  Acrylicon systems can be applied onto 28 day old concrete at a Relative Humidity of up to 95%. Should there be any doubt about the moisture in the concrete, an insulated hygrometer is recommended for testing the vapour leaving the substrate. In situations requiring rapid installation, AcryliCon can provide fast cure systems as alternatives to traditional concrete. AcryliCon systems can also bond to other substates For further advice please contact your nearest AcryliCon office.

Teknisk informasjon

The technical properties of the Acrylicon system are evaluated to EN, ASTM or ISO standards and the results are average values, delivered under proper installation procedures and recommended conditions.

Life Expectancy

In excess of 20 years, subject to correct installation conditions and substrate preparation. Life expectancy is generally influenced by the use of the system and maintenance regime.
