Achieving the Ideal Concrete Floor Seal: A Step-by-Step Guide
When it comes to sealing concrete floors in demanding environments like food manufacturing facilities, selecting the right combination of products is crucial for durability and safety. Garon Products offers a comprehensive solution that addresses the unique challenges of such settings.
Step 1: Surface Preparation
Begin by thoroughly cleaning the concrete surface to remove any debris, grease, or contaminants. This ensures optimal adhesion of the sealing products.
Step 2: Sealing with GARON-SEAL™ HCR
After resurfacing, use GARON-SEAL™ HCR to fill any cracks and joints. This high-strength, pourable epoxy crack filler forms a seamless bond, enhancing the floor's integrity and resistance to wear.
Step 3: Applying Mortarthane™ HF
For areas requiring resistance to hot water washdowns and potential chemical exposure, apply Mortarthane™ HF. This urethane cement floor resurfacer provides a durable, slip-resistant surface ideal for high-traffic zones prone to moisture.
Step 4: Optional Topcoat Application
For added protection and a polished finish, consider applying a topcoat over the sealed surface. This step can further extend the floor's lifespan and improve its appearance.
Step 5: Maintenance and Monitoring
Regularly inspect the sealed floor for signs of wear or damage. Promptly address any issues to maintain the floor's protective qualities and ensure a safe working environment.
By following these steps and utilizing Garon Products' concrete floor coating, you can achieve a concrete floor that meets the rigorous demands of industrial settings, ensuring longevity and safety.
