Step-By-Step Guide Using TIGERSKIN™
- Plan the Installation in Phases
Divide your facility into manageable sections. Work on one aisle or area at a time, allowing each section to cure before moving on. This approach minimizes disruption and ensures continuous workflow. - Select Fast-Curing, Low-Odor Coatings
Opt for coatings that cure quickly and emit minimal odor. This is especially important in facilities with sensitive equipment or where odor could be a concern. TIGERSKIN™ is a great option. - Monitor and Maintain the Coated Surface
After installation, monitor the coated surface for any signs of wear or damage. Regular maintenance helps prolong the life of the floor coating and maintains a safe working environment.
