Immediately after use tools should be cleaned using Antel Cleaning Solvent. Chemical Resistance Complete chemical resistance over long periods for nearly all flooring systems can be an unobtainable goal and if obtained normally result in decreased performance in other areas such as colour formation and increased toxicity. Here is a cross section of resistance figures for Antel Flooring Mortar. A 200 m film was applied to a panel and cured at 10 C A saturated cotton ball was placed on the film following a 24 hour 48 hour 72 hour and 96 hour cure and left in place for a further 24 hours. After each period the film was examined for carbonation in the form of white spots.
Results show excellent resistance to carbonation.
14.3 Abrasion Resistance Coatings of floor systems should be resistant against daily wear and tear caused by frictional forces from foot traffic and cleaning. Load bearing properties and toughness are particularly important in flooring for vehicular usage in order for stress forces to be dissipated without chipping or cracking associated with poor abrasive resistance occurring. Castings were subject to 1000 cycles with weight loss reported per 200 cycles. Results show improved performance with a weight loss of 17 mg compared with 23 mg for the industry standard flooring mortar. 14.4 Other performance properties.
