All coatings in the Accolade range offer a high degree of stain resistance and significantly reduce the amount of dirt taken into the flooring in use.
Flooring manufacturers are offered three preferred technologies for the application of the new range of coatings, to suit flooring specifications or to comply with existing application equipment.
These are all one-pack technologies and are: UV curable, which are 100% non-volatile; water-based/UV curable; and water-based, forced air dried.
Coatings can be applied by a number of methods, including direct gravure, indirect gravure and roller coating.
Silkscreen and curtain coating are also possible.
Coatings are available for all types of flexible flooring, including homogenous, laminate, plastisol and cushion floors, for both pvc and non-pvc formulations.
Accolade coatings can also be developed to meet particular end-user requirements, for example for sports halls, hospital and kitchen applications.
The introduction of the new Accolade range is a result of the expertise and experience of Akzo Nobel Industrial Coatings in the development and manufacture of high performance coating systems for a wide range of end use applications.
