Plastifloor® Advantages:
Our floor coatings are certified by:

Starting point:
In order to be able to manufacture and store high-quality products, the industrial floors at Walz-Mühle in Horb needed to be level, with as few joints as possible and without breakouts, as effective raw material and material logistics can only be realised with functional floors.
When it comes to renovating, Walz is particularly keen to ensure that the areas in question can be utilised as quickly as possible, preferably without shutting down production, in order to save costs and time and thus minimise production downtime.
These factors played a decisive role in the selection of the Plastifloor® industrial floor coating system for the refurbishment of production and storage areas at Walz-Mühle.
The Plastifloor® Industry flooring system with slip resistance R11 was chosen.
Substrate preparation:
Firstly, the existing, damaged wooden floor had to be sanded down and the concrete shot-blasted to remove the cement slurry and ensure a secure bond between the coating and the substrate.
The existing joints, cracks and connections are filled. Finally, the substrate is cleaned with a vacuum cleaner before the new Plastifloor® floor can be installed.
Priming & crack repair:
The substrate prepared in this way has an adhesive tensile strength of 1.5 N/mm². This value is required to ensure secure adhesion of the coating system to the substrate. The floor was then primed with Plastifloor® 118 approx. 0.4 kg/m².
In some cases, the uneven substrate had to be reworked with KH mortar, mixed with Plastifloor® 510 and mortar mix C2, to create a level surface. To close the cracks in the substrate, Plastifloor® 510 mortar resin is mixed 1:1 with Plastifloor s/l filler and levelled into the cracks. Material transitions are reinforced with polyester fabric.
Membrane & sealing:
This is followed by the installation of an elastic membrane made of Plastifloor® 332/z, approx. 3.0 kg/m². This flexible, shock-absorbing intermediate layer enables the new synthetic resin flooring made of Plastifloor® 418 1:1, filled with s/l filler, to be laid seamlessly and permanently without cracking.
In order to achieve the required slip resistance class R 11 and enable an attractive colour design, the wet industrial floor covering is sprinkled with coloured quartz sand over the entire surface before the top coat of Plastifloor® 522, approx. 0.8 kg/m² (2 x), can be rolled on.
