protecting industrial frp and pvc walls from staining and de-lamination
FRP and PVC walls are used in industrial, high hygiene, food processing applications.
but they do not last forever. protection can enhance their lifecycle.
FRP WALLS STAIN AND BECOME DIFFICULT TO CLEAN DUE TO :
ORGANIC EXPOSURE, SUCH AS GREASE, OIL, BLOOD, FOOD INGREDIENTS
PANELS (FRP, PVC) NOT CAULKED FOR PROPER SEALING AS PART OF ORIGINAL CONSTRUCTION
PRESSURE WASHING EXCEEDING 150-300 PSI
NOT USING A BRUSH TO WET CLEAN, AND THEN USING HIGHER AND HIGHER PRESSURE LEVELS
HARMFUL SANITATION CHEMICAL CONSUMPTION INCREASING. THIS DESTROYS THE PROTECTIVE COATING ON THE FRP AND PVC PANELS
DE-LAMINATION FROM SUBSTRATE, CAUSED BY FAILED CAULKING OR WATER BEING PUSHED “BEHIND” FRP PANELS, AND WEAKENING THE ADHESIVE BOND
SUREBOND CAN HELP IN THE FOLLOWING WAY:
INSTALLING FRP OR PVC PANELS
SEALING ALL CORNER AND VERTICAL JOINTS WITH OUR MMA FLOORING RESIN, SO WATER CANNOT GET BEHIND THE PANELS
PRE-COATING ALL FRP PANELS WITH OUR SEALING MMA RESIN IN OUR SHOP. SUREBOND CAN “SUPPLY ONLY” THE PANELS, OR “SUPPLY AND INSTALL” THE PRE-COATED PANELS
REJUVENATION OF INSTALLED FRP PANELS IN GOOD SHAPE CAN OCCUR, YEARS AFTER ORIGINAL INSTALLATION
MOISTURE MITIGATION SOLUTIONS
This scaled model is a 100% sealed with Silikal® sealer resin. All vertical corners and joints: permanently sealed. The FRP is also been sealed over the entire sheet before installation. We have coved on the bottom on top of our Silikal® R62 flake floor. 100% sealed, permanently. This should extend the life of the FRP dramatically, and reduced the risk of de-lamination from the wood substrate behind.
Left side of image is the FRP from the factory. Right side of image show the coverage depth of the Silikal® on the FRP panel. We can coat the joints days, weeks, months later once the FRP is installed in the final plant location.
