How ABS DuroSystem is created

1. Concrete base

2. Primer

3. Base layer or build-up layer

4. Wearing surface material

5. Surface treatment

Flooring for light industry

1. ABS DuroBase Extra 402, 8-10 mm

2. ABS MD16 Primer in two applications, diluted 1:10 and 1:3

3. ABS DuroBase 400, 0-30 mm

4. ABS Primer MD 16, diluted 1:5 and 1:3

5. Concrete substrate

LIGHT INDUSTRY: Mainly foot traffic, hand-propelled pallet trolleys, occasional movements of light trucks (gross weight < 3.5 tons) with pneumatic tyres.

(Example: light assembly industry).

Flooring for medium-heavy industry

1. ABS DuroTop 410, 6 - 8 mm

2. ABS MD16 Primer in two applications, diluted 1:10 and 1:3

3. ABS DuroBase 400, 0-30 mm

4. ABS Primer MD 16, diluted 1:5 and 1:3

5. Concrete substrate

MEDIUM-HEAVY INDUSTRY: Intensive traffic of medium/heavy trucks with solid rubber or pneumatic tyres

(Example: storage areas, high-racking warehouses).

Flooring for heavy industry

1. ABS DuroLit 430, 8 - 10 mm

2. ABS MD16 Primer in two applications, diluted 1:10 and 1:3

3. ABS 400 or ABS 402, 0-30 mm

4. ABS Primer MD 16, diluted 1:5 and 1:3

5. Concrete substrate

HEAVY INDUSTRY: Intensive traffic and heavy rolling equipment and for abrasive and grinding types of wear

(Example: Storage areas with heavy traffic and sand on the floor).

Renovation for the food industry, damp substrate

1. Epoxy or acrylic screed, min 3 mm

2. Surface treated by grinding, blasting etc

3. ABS Durobase Extra 402, min 5 mm

4. Sanded epoxy primer + ABS MD 16 Primer diluted 1:3

5. Damp substrate

Substrates in need of substantial filling

1. Wearing course:ABS DuroBase Extra 402 8-10 mmABS DuroTop 410 6-8 mmABS DuroLit 430 8-10 mm

2. ABS Primer MD 16 in two applications, diluted 1:10 and 1:3

3. Shingle injected with ABS DuroBase 400

4. ABS Primer MD 16, diluted 1:5 and 1:3

5. Uneven substrate

1. Existing movement joints are marked with nails before the flooring compound is applied

2. (Possibly) existing jointing compound

3. Existing movement joint in substrate

4. After removing the nails, a straight-cut cracking gap is sawn. The crack gap is filled with elastic jointing compound

To avoid cracks existing movement joints in the substrate has to be matched with overlaying joints.

Existing movement joints, alternative 1

Existing movement joints, alternative 2

1. Plexiglass strip which is ground down to final floor level after the flooring compound has hardened

2. (Possibly) existing jointing compound

Existing cracks

Map existing cracks in the substrate

45° cracks in connection to columns are often sign of movement

To avoid cracking in the levelling layer, place foam barrier between column and levelling layer

Connecting to existing level

Scabble the zone closest to the existing floor, so that the thickness of the levelling layer is at least 4 mm.

Mark the end towards the existing floor with a foam barrier to get a straight line.
