03. Chemical bonding
Another decisive factor for Acrylicon’s long lifespan is the unique chemical bond between the floor layer and the substrate.
All seamless floors consist of multiple layers: primer, base coat, and top coat. The way these layers bond to each other and to the substrate varies between the two main families of resin floors – thermoset (epoxy and PU) and thermoplastic (acrylic and MMA).
Major significance for floor lifespan and performance
Epoxy and PU floors have mechanical adhesion between the layers of a floor, as well as between any phases in a project. Mechanical adhesion can lead to delamination, especially at phase transitions, and repairs and maintenance over the existing solution do not have long durability, resulting in new cracks, delamination, and in the worst case, detachment from the substrate.
With Acrylicon’s chemical bonding, all the layers and the strong anchoring to the substrate become one continuous structure. This provides excellent durability, minimal risk of delamination, and a solution that withstands heavy loads over time.
