Acrylicon Industry System is a Shrink-resistant, solvent free, two component Methacrylate based resin. Designed for concrete repair and floors in industries with heavy chemical and mechanical impact.

The Acrylicon Industry System gives a pore free and easy to maintain surface. It has a very short curing time and extremely high compressive strength witch can be fully loaded after only 1-2 hours. This guarantees a minimum shut down time to the area. It can be used for concrete repair and can be laid down to temperatures of -25 degrees Celcius/- 13⁰F.

Technical Data - Cured Product

MMA monomer is produced as a raw chemical to which further monomer and polymers are added to create the required resin.

This resin in the case of flooring will need plasticisers to assist the control of shrinkage and these may be added internally or externally dependant upon the production company and their chemical skills. However the finished products will not have been constructed in the same way, and therefore will possess different properties. Each of the companies will have their own method and mixing ratios with aggregates to provide the final system.

The situation with AcryliCon is that our main market is the Food Industry and as such the AcryliCon resins have been further developed specifically for that market and as such the chemical construction of the system is our trade secret. Continual washing with water (hot or cold), will wash out the plasticisers in other standard MMA's, which is why they have such a poor record in the food industry and their working life in a wet environment can be as little as 2 years.

Standard MMA systems have been around for over thirty years and therefore our competitors should be able to show many references over 5 years old, generally they will not. This is NOT because of bad installation or laying, it is the specific problem of standard MMA which cannot demonstrate longevity.

We have addressed this problem and the AcryliCon System is unique in its construction, performance and longevity.

The proof of our statements is not in the rhetoric of our letters and comments but in the list of our clients and the longevity of floors we have installed. We are always willing to show the oldest references we have (in the UK from 1994 and in Norway from 1977) as an indicator of their quality and performance.

We trust we have answered in some way the differences between the AcryliCon System and other MMA systems, but ultimately it is the performance in the "real world" where the differences are so obviously apparent.

The AcryliCon Flake System is 2 mm to 3 mm thick and contains decorative flakes within its chemically bonded coating system.

The unparalleled long-lasting system is aesthetically versatile and primarily designed for heavy foot traffic and moderate industrial environments.   By using our unique granito blends of color flakes, we are able to provide granite or marble style floors in a fraction of the time normally associated with the traditional systems. 

The Flake System is the best solution for supermarkets, shopping centers, retail, hospitals, stadiums, schools, mass-transit and bathrooms.

The Acrylicon Granito System is a 2-3mm system for light industry and heavy foot traffic. With its very high abrasion resistance it is especially suited to areas of heavy foot fall. Blended flakes are used in the body coat, and are based on natural Granit colours. 

The Granito system is rake and roller applied allowing for fast installation, which coupled with the quick cure time allows for large areas to be completed in very short times - up to 1000m per day with the floor back in use 2 hours afterwards!

The Acrylicon Flake/Granito System can also be offered with Microban Antibacterial Protection. Read more about AcryliCon with Microban under the section "Microban".

The AcryliCon Décor System is a colour-quartz filled, trowel applied coating with extraordinary performance that is ideal for wet or heavily abraded areas where hygiene and cleanliness are required.

Not only does this innovative monolithic system have excellent slip resistance values, longevity and cleanability, but it also provides minimal facility downtime due to its 2-hour curing process. With AcryliCon’s unique ability to chemically bond to itself, the optional coved skirting is completely seamless with the floor.

The AcryliCon Décor System is the best solution for interior and exterior wet environments such as food/beverage processing, commercial kitchens, automotive, transportation platforms and industrial areas with heavy traffic and high compressive strength needs.

The Decor System has very high compressive strength, very high bending and tensile strength and a very high resistance to ageing. Due to the Chemical properties of the Acrylicon resins, each layer (primer, body coat and seal coat) chemically bond together rather than mechanically. This leaves no chance of delamination between layers, or from the concrete.

• Full cure within 2 hours
• 84 N/mm² - 12,180 psi Compressive Strength
• Completely pore free
• Non toxic - Solvent free - VOC-free
• Fully repairable
• No loss of Plasicisers
• Full range of slip resistant finishes available

These properties make it ideal for any industry where hygiene and cleanability are paramount.

Acrylicon Decor System can be delivered with Microban Antibacterial Protection, please read more about Microban under the section "Microban".

The technical properties of your AcryliCon Floor are based on DIN/ASTM testing and the results are average values delivered under proper installation procedures and conditions.
The AcryliCon Systems are fully cured two hours after installation and may be actively used by the customer.
The supplier is not liable for possible property changes of the AcryliCon Systems caused by hot water loads at 68°C/155°F and above and/or thermal shock (rapid temperature variations).

TECHNICAL DATA - CURED PRODUCT

All floors wear, some faster than others. Floors laid in industrial environments are often subjected to extremes in terms of wear and tear. Truck damage, impacts from heavy objects, friction, abrasion and chemical attacks are common in many industries.

Acrylicon has qualities that deliver long-term durability, no matter where the floor is installed. Our customers vouch for that.

Acrylicon is extremely resistant to chemicals, detergents, oil, liquids and other spillages. If refurbishments or repairs become necessary, Acrylicon's unique chemical bonding properties mean that old and new Acrylicon coatings fuse together to create a new compact and monolithic surface, without risking delamination or the need to remove the old with all the attendant dust, noise and disruption associated with conventional systems. Even after years of wear and tear.

Tougher and longer lasting

Acrylicon's properties equip it to deliver long-term durability in the harshest of industrial environments and important cost-saving longevity. An Acrylicon floor will have lasted longer than conventional industrial flooring systems because of it's high compressive strength, resistance to wear and slip and exceptional performance in adverse conditions. 

When it comes to specifying flooring for heavy industrial applications it is vital to weigh up the potential costs of down-time if the toughest and most durable solution isn't used. When it comes to industrial flooring Acrylicon is demonstratably tougher, longer lasting and the most cost-effective option.

Colours that create a sense of well-being

Acrylicon is available in a wide range of colours to meet any requirements. Different areas can have different colours and therefore colour coding for traffic areas is available to improve traffic ergonomics. Acrylicon has shown an extreme resistance to ageing and discolouration due to UV attack. This ensures that the aesthetic qualities of the floor are guaranteed for the long term. In many work areas safety is an important issue, and slip-resistance is a necessity. The Acrylicon surface can be provided with a variety of slip resistance textures to suit most environments.
