The industrial flooring specialist Flowcrete UK – recognised for 30 years as the leading provider of performance systems for manufacturing and processing environments – will be showcasing its innovative range of seamless resin systems at easyFairs® MAINTEC 2012.
Taking place between 28 February and 1 March at Birmingham’s NEC, Flowcrete UK is located at stand number A14 at the event.
From there, the flooring manufacturer will demonstrate its comprehensive range of flooring solutions, engineered to the specific needs of industries including the automotive, aerospace, chemical processing, electronic, food and drink and pharmaceutical sectors.
Flowcrete will also be promoting its bespoke project management service.
Focused on the exact needs of the processing and packaging industries, the project management programme ensures the seamless co-ordination of flooring projects on-site.
This is particularly beneficial in the food and beverage sector, where the complete project management service includes any repairs to the existing concrete slab that may need to be re-cast, in addition to the design and installation of a high strength, polymer modifier Isocrete floor screed, a stainless steel drainage system, and the completion of works with an antimicrobial polyurethane floor finish.
Ian Jones, Flowcrete UK Marketing Manager, said: “We are looking forward to talking to MAINTEC visitors about our project management service which, combined with our industry-leading product range, makes Flowcrete the premier choice for flooring projects.
“Our systems are designed to meet the unique needs of individual industries, with specific capabilities that meet the exact needs of our clients.”
Flowcrete is noted for its renowned Flowfresh system, designed to meet the unique needs of the food and drink industry, with features including a steam cleanable, slip resistant and hard wearing polyurethane finish, and the inclusion of the Polygiene® additive – a silver-ion based antimicrobial treatment, which is placed within the resinous flooring material.
This enables the floor coating to control up to 99.9 per cent of all bacteria landing on the surface of the floor, giving an ideal platform to support the stringent hygiene requirements of modern processing environments.
Flowcrete’s other systems include the fast-track MMA Flowfast coatings, which dramatically cut downtime and speed up new-build and refurbishment programmes, through an application process that sees the floor ready for use just two hours after installation.
Flowcrete also offers the industry-leading Industrial Floorzone concept, which can deliver the damp-proof membrane and high strength Isocrete floor screed, topped off with a performance resin floor finish – all from a single source and installed by Flowcrete’s approved contractor network.
The benefits of a Flowcrete floor for the industrial sector include time-proven durability, with protection from foot and wheeled traffic, impact resistance and mechanical attack.
Safety is also assured underfoot, with slip resistance levels developed to meet the exact needs of an individual area, combined with the ability to deliver demarcation zones to signpost operations throughout a site.
Chemical, heat and electrostatic resistance can also be delivered – and Flowcrete’s service and technical support programme is recognised as best in class across the UK and the world.
Flowcrete is currently running its ‘Get More From Floors’ campaign – a celebration of its industrial flooring heritage.
Available at www.flowcrete.co.uk/campaigns/get-more-from-floors the initiative focuses on the many benefits of a specialist resin floor finish, giving in-depth advice on issues including durability, hygiene, safety, speed, resistance and Flowcrete’s renowned approach to service.
Alan Dean, Managing Director of Flowcrete UK, said; “Our industrial flooring solutions have helped to underpin the development of cleaner, safer and more productive manufacturing and processing plants.
“A correctly specified resin flooring installation from Flowcrete can act as a powerful tool in the drive to improve workflow efficiency, contribute to the principles of 5S, enhance lean manufacturing and at the same time offer a resilient platform to tackle impact resistance and mechanical attack.
“The benefits of Flowcrete materials are wide-ranging, with features including ease of maintenance, durability, hygiene performance and slip resistance as well as the ability to create demarcation zones and deliver the strength needed to withstand fuel, heat and chemicals.”
