Production and storage halls are spaces where designing and choosing the right floor is a big challenge. Due to the high application load provided in such spaces, the final floor covering must be strong and resistant to chemical and mechanical actions.

The two-component, epoxy floor DRACO FLOOR 800 meets the required conditions and is characterized by excellent mechanical properties, tear strength, abrasion resistance and elasticity. In addition to being available as a thick-layer or thin-layer floor, the product can be applied as an anti-dust coating.

Learn how to properly apply DRACO FLOOR 800 epoxy floor;

• The first step in the preparation of concrete and cement substrates is rough surface grinding. Sanding removes the surface layer that is loosely attached to the substrate and opens hidden gas pockets and cracks.
• Also, loose parts of the substrate must be removed and reprofiled with DRACO FIX 140 repair mortar. Cracks must be opened by sanding the entire length to the upper zone of the reinforcement or up to 1/2 thickness if it is a cement screed. Transverse to the cracks, the slits open at an angle of 60 ° to the depth of the crack opening. The sanded surface and open cracks with slots are thoroughly cleaned of dust residues by vacuuming.
• Dust cracks with slots are filled with DRACO PRIMO 800 epoxy resin which is saturated with dry quartz sand. This is followed by fine sanding of the substrate, followed by thorough vacuuming.
• A layer of epoxy primer DRACO PRIMO 800 is applied to the prepared concrete substrate. The role of the primer is to completely “close” the substrate by filling all air pockets in the substrate that can lead to blisters or holes in the floor finishes. If anti-slip of the substrate is required, quartz sand is sprinkled on the fresh primer to saturation or the sand is mixed with the primer. The primer can also be used to thicken the floor layers, which increases its mechanical characteristics.
• After the primer has dried, unbound sand is swept and sucked in and DRACO FLOOR 800 epoxy floor layers are applied.

The choice of floor thickness depends on the purpose of the floor, so in areas where heavy traffic takes place (cars, trucks, forklifts and machines) a thicker floor will be made than in areas where only pedestrian traffic takes place. If anti-slip flooring is required, the top coat of DRACO FLOOR 800 is applied in two coats, the first coat of which is sprinkled with quartz sand. The epoxy floor can be pigmented with a color of your choice.

Epoxy floors are very resistant to mechanical damage as well as to acids and cleaning agents. They are used in areas where there is a possibility of large loads on the final layer. If you are looking for just such a floor, which perfectly answers all technical and aesthetic questions, DRACO FLOOR systems are the choice you will not go wrong with.

Garages are spaces that require a wear-resistant finish and easy maintenance. Requirements for finishing are protection of concrete from decay, easy removal of stains from oil and other liquids and easy cleaning. Such surfaces are subject to high dynamic loads caused by vehicles driving over them and the formation of micro cracks due to the passage of the vehicle is possible.

Vehicles bring water into the garage, and in winter, salt is sprinkled on the roads against icing. In addition, we have an increased concentration of CO 2 exhaust gases inside the relatively closed space of the garage. All these harmful substances affect the properties of concrete and penetrate through microcracks to the reinforcing steel and cause its deterioration, which in addition to the visual causes structural damage to the garage and garage spaces.

Therefore, the floors of all these spaces need to be protected by the use of appropriate materials depending on the load, position inside the building and the method of use, taking into account the aesthetic appearance of the floor. Experientially, epoxy floors with good mechanical (hardness and abrasion) and chemical resistance such as DRACO FLOOR 800 have proven to be the best.

• Apply DRACO® PRIMO 800 primer to the surface. You can sprinkle dry quartz sand on the fresh primer.
• After drying, remove excess sand. Wait until the primer has set (minimum 12 hours) before applying DRACO® FLOOR 800.
• If the moisture content of the substrate is> 4%, you can apply DRACO® PRIMO 850 as a moisture barrier.

If our goal is only easier maintenance of the floor with normal to medium heavy loads, we can use water-based epoxy coating DRACO FLOOR 860.
DRACO® FLOOR 860 is a two-component epoxy thin-layer water-based coating with low emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The product is used to protect floors and other concrete surfaces.

It is distinguished by it:

• good mechanical (hardness and abrasion) and chemical resistance
• ease of application
• parapermeability
• attractive matte look.

Epoxy floors are characterized by high hardness, thus protecting the substrate from damage, wear, chemicals, abrasion, dirt and traces of rubber. If you are looking for just such a floor, which perfectly answers all technical and aesthetic questions, DRACO FLOOR systems are the choice you will not go wrong with.

Industrial floors are one of the biggest challenges in designing the right floor system. In addition to an adequately designed system, the condition and preparation of the substrate are an indispensable process crucial for a quality and durable floor. Substrate preparation can only consist of light surface sanding to repairing microcracks, sawing, sewing and repairing with epoxy mortars and leveling the substrate.

Leveling the surface is one of the main conditions for safe and undisturbed driving and use of the truck in the warehouse, which requires the flatness of the final layers of the floors on the roadways. All this with the aim of better quality, and thus longer-lasting floor coverings. Since such floors are performed in storage and production facilities, the subsequent rehabilitation of the floor requires significant financial resources and causes indirect costs such as disruption of transport, storage or stopping production in the plant.

Quality finish

For a quality finish, we recommend the use of epoxy floor DRACO FLOOR 800, which can be performed in several layers depending on the requirements and as a smooth decorative or anti-slip floor.

Before applying the floor, thoroughly clean the substrate. Remove oil, grease and similar contaminants. Cement milk, loose particles, formwork coating, concrete setting coating, etc., should be removed. Apply DRACO® PRIMO 800 primer to the surface. You can sprinkle dry quartz sand on the fresh primer. After drying, remove excess sand. Wait until the primer has set (minimum 12 hours) before applying DRACO® FLOOR 800.

In addition to high hardness, workshop floors must be impact-resistant and easy to maintain. Epoxy resin-based floors such as the previously mentioned DRACO FLOOR 800 and DRACO FLOOR 860 are most often used for this application.

Given the wide range of chemical products used in workshops such as acids, alkali and salt solutions, varnishes and solvents designed floor must be resistant to the required chemical environment to avoid degradation of the floor in functional and aesthetic terms. In addition to the above requirements, the floor in the workshops as well as in the warehouse is required to be durable, and non-slip, which is achieved by saturating the coating with dry quartz sand.

The products that DRACO offers cover most of the standard applications of industrial floors. With its knowledge and competencies, we are at disposal to all our loyal customers and future owners of industrial floors.

Dust coatings are used to protect concrete floors to allow their easy maintenance. Dust coatings are designed for medium loads and as such are suitable for use in warehouses, halls, garages, technical rooms and the like. The anti-dust coating ensures high mechanical resistance when applied to a hard concrete substrate, but at the same time does not ensure high aesthetics.

The anti-dust coating is applied to the already prepared concrete / cement base. The substrate must be firm, degreased, dusted and dry. After these actions, the first layer (primer) is applied, and after drying said layer (approximately 24 h), 1 or 2 final layers are applied, depending on the need. All layers are applied with a roller and brush.

DRACO® FLOOR 860 is a two-component, water-based, low-emission epoxy thin-film coating. The product is used to protect floors and other concrete surfaces.

It is characterized by:

• extremely simple application
• easy maintenance of the finished floor
• vapor permeability
• mechanical resistance (high hardness and abrasion)
• possibility of dilution with water
• excellent adhesion to the substrate
• wide range of colors
• no unpleasant odors (low emissions of volatile organic compounds).

Since it is water-based, the product can be applied after only 7 days from the installation of concrete or screed.

Apply DRACO® PRIMO 850 primer to the surface with a consumption of 150 – 200 g / m² depending on the roughness and absorbency of the substrate. Wait until the primer has set (minimum 12 hours) before applying DRACO® FLOOR 860.

DRACO® FLOOR 860 diluted with water can serve as a primer. Depending on the absorption of the substrate and the application conditions, dilute it up to 20%. Anti-dust coatings enable the protection of concrete floor surfaces. The surface, which is resistant to mild chemical reactions after application, is ready for use in a short time due to its fast drying.

With DRACO systems you do not have to worry, our products will allow you peaceful dreams and quality waterproofed objects.
