A breakthrough range
of solvent-free resin flooring products is changing the face of specification
for commercial and industrial market sectors with environmental benefits for
customers.
Elladur, developed by
Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine Coatings, pushes the boundaries of
technology with its family of solvent-free products combined with its
high-performance application.
For the first time in
the flooring industry, a product has been developed which reduces the levels of
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) with rapid curing, reducing turnaround times
to hours rather than days.
Elladur – created by a
specialist team of chemists – has taken the very best of polyaspartic
technology to new levels making it easier and safer for applicators and
allowing fast return to service.
Customers also benefit
from its UV stability which means no discolouring and its non-tainting
properties with no lingering unwanted odours.
For fast-moving
manufacturing and industrial markets including warehousing, food and drink,
health and pharmaceuticals, it means the protection can be applied with minimal
disruption to working operations, removing risk of odour and tainting in the
production process.
Dale Banton, of
Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine Coatings, said: “We have listened to
our customers and come back to them with Elladur. Our advances in science and
technology have enabled us to meet even higher project specifications with a
dramatic reduction to almost zero in the levels of solvents.
“This range meets the
most challenging requirements in VOCs, hygiene and durability while offering
safe, easy handling and application.
“Some of our customers
are already seeing the benefits, architects and specifiers can now specify to
the highest levels for applications in these demanding sectors, safe in the
knowledge that there are now products which can meet them.”
The Elladur range
includes Elladur SF clear and coloured materials, Elladur Deco FL fast-track
decorative flake system, Elladur Deco BC using coloured quartz aggregates and
Elladur LM for line markings.
The range also meets
Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM)
assessment, providing a certified score of environmental sustainability while
demonstrating compliance to best practice requirements.
