Vuba-Strong Coat Chosen By Market Leading Manufacturer, Advacoat Answers Back

Friday, March 5th, 2010

Vuba Industrial Supplies has worked closely with Foster Refrigerator, the UK market leader in the manufacture of commercial refrigeration solutions, to specify an industrial flooring solution to their 140,000 sq ft. manufacturing facility. Vuba was approached to provide a high performance industrial floor coating for their factory after many years of problems with single part floor paints.

Vuba proposed the use of a high build epoxy floor coating, Vuba-Strong Coat. A test area was applied in comparison to several other products and the results were extremely favourable. After this a larger test area was installed for the arrival of the Group CEO, and was again well received. These successes lead to the specification of the floor coating throughout the factory.

Vuba-Strong Coat is a two part epoxy resin floor coating, specified as a FeRFA Type 3 coating. This product has been designed to provide a floor coating solution for even the heaviest of industrial environments; a very important consideration for Foster Refrigerator. Vuba’s wide range of concrete repair mortars has also been specified on the project, to repair everything for minor undulations to large pot holes and cracks. It was the suite of available products, impressive back catalogue of work and unrivaled warranty period that impressed Dean Rawnsley, Facilities Manager, enough to specify the Vuba Range. And he seems content with the way things are going, “So far so good. We have had two phases of work completed and are ready to embark on the third. The first phase area is still performing well and is showing no signs of lifting or de-bonding. We’re very happy with it.”

Best Garage Floor Coatings To Prevent Oil Stains

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

Out of all the surfaces in your home, the garage or shop floor has the toughest duty. Though a concrete floor is a durable surface, it does have one major shortcoming. Concrete, even if finished to a smooth surface, is actually quite porous. Fluid leaks from vehicles and grime from tires can quickly work their way into the concrete and stain the floor. Besides being ugly, oil and fluid stains tend to attract and hold more dirt and grime, which is then tracked into the house or car.

Fortunately, the cure for this is simple; seal the concrete floor with specialty garage floor paint or cover it with mats or a modular decking system. The most common garage-floor coatings are epoxy-based paints and coatings. You can easily apply these in a weekend. Other options include polyurethane paint and even soy-based paint. Look for low- or zero-VOC (volatile organic compound) products that are better for human and environmental health. Finding low-VOC garage floor coatings from a local retailer may be more challenging than finding low-VOC wall paint. But check companies, such as H & C Concrete Coatings and eco-Protective Products, to begin your search.

After they’re applied, these garage-floor coatings really dress up the appearance of the garage and make the surface much easier to keep clean. You can simply wipe up spills and fluid leaks before they can be tracked into the house — and they generally won’t stain the floor.

Or, you can head on over to Advantage Chemical Coatings and their industrial-strength line of concrete floor coatings. Look for the Advacoat brand of polyaspartic and polyurea coatings, and find out the difference between mediocrity and dedication to quality.  Advantage Chemical Coatings is dedicated to total customer satisfaction.
