Resin Surfaces is meeting increased demand in the construction industry for fast-track flooring installation as it launches its fast-cure range of epoxy resin products.

The four-strong product range breaks new ground in the formulation of epoxy resins systems, pushing the boundaries of the material's properties to deliver resin floors that are fully trafficable in a matter of hours It consists of damp-proof membrane RS Dampshield F, resin primer Resuprime FH, high-build floor coating Resutop FH and self-smoothing epoxy screed Resuflor FH

Formulated by Resin Surfaces (RSL)'s team of in-house technical experts, the range was created to help contractors meet the increasingly tight installation windows on major construction and refurbishment projects.

RSL managing director, Ivy Wroe, commented: "One of the biggest challenges the industry faces is how it can help clients who stand to benefit from a resin floor but require minimum construction downtime.

"There are fast-cure products available on the market that provide a solution, yet these often use aggressive and unpleasant chemicals that can complicate the installation process.

Here at RSL, however, we have created fast-cure products that do not contain these harmful chemicals but still offer exceptionally fast curing times".

The fast-cure range has already proved its credentials for offering exceptional performance at a test site earlier in 2008.

Here, a system consisting of one coat of Resuprime FH and Resuflor FH was applied at room temperature of 20degC to a 2,500 sq m area at a major printing facility.

The primer was tack free in two hours and able to take the epoxy self-smoother, which was trafficable in less than six hours.

Ivy Wroe concludes: "There is an enormous need in the construction industry and among end users for products that enable a complete resin flooring system to be installed in a day with minimum complication.

We believe we have created this and look forward to reaping the rewards of fulfilling this need.".
