Why RESYN?

During the initial site survey, RESYN identified that the existing tiles would need to be fully removed before installation of the new resin system. Once removed, oil contamination was discovered within the concrete substrate – a common issue in automotive environments. To ensure long-term performance and prevent adhesion failures, RESYN applied an oil-tolerant primer designed specifically for contaminated substrates.

Following preparation, RESYN recommended the high-performance KDR Epocoat HB epoxy coating system, chosen for its durability, chemical resistance and professional finish. To enhance both aesthetics and functionality, the client selected a sapphire-blue delineation to highlight the service-bay areas.

Because the installation took place during the winter months and the Epocoat HB system requires a minimum curing temperature of 20°C, temporary heaters were used to maintain consistent temperatures. This ensured correct curing, allowed the project to remain on schedule and be completed within the planned 7-day programme.

Alex Forrester, Technical Sales Manager at RESYN commented: “This installation came with a few more challenges than usual. We removed all of the existing tiles and found oil contamination within the substrate, so getting the preparation right was essential. We used a multi-head grinder to remove the remaining adhesive, then applied an oil-tolerant primer to ensure a reliable bond. From there, we installed two coats of KDR Epoxy HB, giving the client a professional finish suitable for a busy workshop environment.”
