A basic guide to resin flooring

Resin flooring is a hardwearing plastic surface, created by mixing a selection of ingredients to initiate a fast and controlled chemical reaction.  The chemical reaction creates a highly durable finish, ideal for the heaviest-use environments.

The simplest form of resin flooring, a resin coating consist of:

• Formulated synthetic resin
• Separate hardener

As demand intensifies– typically resulting in an increase in resin floor thickness – the range of ingredients grows to include aggregates, pigments, decorative chips/flakes and in some cases, cement powder.

Step 1 – Primer

Most resin floors utilise a primer that penetrates into / reacts with the substrate to create a high-strength and reliable bond essential to the floor's longevity.

Step 2 – Bodycoat

The primer is typically followed by a main structural layer, often referred to as the body coat, which creates the bulk of the floor thickness and provides many of the key performance elements such as impact resistance, flexibility and compressive strength, as well as defining the decorative finish of the floor.

Step 3 – Seal coat

Most resin flooring will be finished with 1 to 3 seal coats to encapsulate the body coat and decorative element of the floor and provide the final performance characteristics, such as chemical and wear resistance.
