Tnemec coating systems were specified for the concrete floors of the 28,000 square-foot facility. A prime coat of Series 205 Terra-Tread FC, a polyamide epoxy, was squeegee- and roller-applied to 23,000 square feet of the surface area, following a surface preparation in accordance with SSPC-SP13/NACE 6. Series 237 Power-Tread, a modified polymine epoxy, and Series 238 Power-Tread FC, a sister product of Series 237 providing half the cure time, were applied as the intermediate coats, allowing for a faster topcoat application. Series 291 CRU, an aliphatic polyester polyurethane with excellent abrasion resistance and colorfastness, was then squeegee- and roller-applied to complete the coating system.

“There were an additional 3,000 square feet of concrete flooring that was a designated arc welding area,” noted Tnemec coating consultant, David Walker. “This area required a clear coat system which wouldn’t affect the pigmented flooring.” Series 291 was applied to this area of the facility, along with Series 295 Clear CRU, a chemical-resistant, clear aliphatic polyurethane finish coat.
