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.
