the challenge
A suitable polymer floor system was required for a car repair and maintenance workshop, to deliver a high-performance finish, as well as mitigate oil contamination in the substrate.
meet the client
Hyundai, originally founded in Seoul, South Korea in 1967 and one of the most recognised car brands across the globe, entered the UK market in 1982.
The company’s network of repair centres provides drivers of the brand’s vehicles across the UK with servicing, repair and maintenance.
the project
After 15 years service, the previously installed high-build coating system in this 900 m² Hyundai repair workshop was in need of some attention. Not only was the floor area damaged, dirty and drab, the risk of slips and trips across the facility was becoming problematic.
Vebro’s solution
After suitable mechanical preparation, repairs and infills, the substrate was coated with vebro EP OT Primer, a two-component epoxy priming product that is tolerant of residual oil contamination in concrete and cementitious floors, improving the adhesion of subsequent polymer floor systems.
Chosen in RAL 7038 Agate Grey, Vebro Polymers’ high build coating system, vebrores EP HBC was able to deliver the perfect level of resistance to chemical attack from petrol, engine oils and other substances typically present in car workshop environments.
The inclusion of anti-slip aggregates, encapsulated between the two coats of vebro EP Universal that make up the FeRFA Type 3 epoxy high-build floor system, delivered additional slip resistance in critical foot-fall areas where rainwater may be present such as in front of the facility’s roller shutter doors, doorways and fire exits.
