Industrial floor coatings refer to coatings used on the ground of industrial plants, logistics storage, parking lots, stadiums and other places. They have the characteristics of wear resistance, corrosion resistance, dust resistance, and anti-skid. It is used in a wide range of fields, such as pharmaceutical factories, electronics factories, automobile factories, food factories, machinery factories, warehouses, logistics centers, airports, hospitals, schools, etc.
The following are the common key properties of industrial floor coatings and the corresponding testing instruments and testing steps:
| Performance name | Testing equipment | Detection steps |
|---|---|---|
| Adhesion | Adhesion Tester | 1. Prepare the test board and test coating 2. Fix the test board on the test bench 3. Cut the grid pattern with a test scratch 4. Tape the grid at the pattern slit 5. Apply glue on the coated surface 6. Apply paint on the glue with a test brush 7. Wait for curing and peel off |
| hardness | Impression Hardness Tester | 1. Prepare the test sample 2. Use a round-headed steel ball of specified quality to press on the surface of the sample 3. Measure the diameter of the impression 4. Calculate the hardness value according to the formula |
| Chemical Resistance | Chemical solutions and test tubes | 1. Prepare the test sample 2. Prepare different chemical solutions 3. Soak the sample in the chemical solution 4. Observe the coating surface changes |
| wear resistance | Abrasion testing machine | 1. Prepare test sample and abrasion testing machine 2. Fix the sample on the testing machine 3. Load a certain mass of grinding wheel and mortar 4. Run the testing machine for a certain time 5. Check the coating surface for wear |
| water resistance | Water Immersion Tester | 1. Prepare the test sample 2. Coat the surface of the sample with a layer of coating with a specified thickness 3. Place the sample in the water immersion Tester for a certain period of time 4. Take out the sample and observe the change of the coating surface |
| Salt Spray Resistance | Salt spray Test Chamber | 1. Prepare the test sample 2. Coat the surface of the sample with a specified thickness of coating 3. Place the sample in a salt spray Test Chamber to expose for a certain period of time 4. Take out the sample and observe the change of the coating surface |
| Temperature resistance | Thermal Cycler | 1. Prepare the test sample 2. Apply a layer of coating with specified thickness on the surface of the sample 3. Place the sample in the thermal cycle box for cyclic heating |
