Flooring systems in pharmaceutical facilities have to withstand severe exposure which includes mechanical, chemical and thermal stresses.

The biggest challenges for flooring systems in Pharmaceutical Industry facilities are generally in the production areas. They have to withstand severe exposure which includes mechanical, chemical and thermal stresses. The right degree of slip resistance is also required to meet the Health and Safety regulations.

Most production areas can be divided into ‘dry’ or ‘wet’ processing areas. There may well be the requirement for Clean Room certification.

DEGADUR® 420 | 527

High Performance Decorative Floor Topping

OVERVIEW
This specification is for the application of the DEGADUR® Dekor Series flooring system utilizing 420 & 527 resins. It is a commercial grade, high performance flooring screed designed for environments requiring a highly decorative but easy to maintain floor surface that is subject to high foot traffic and moderate mechanical loading. It is particularly suitable for Schools, Cafes, Restaurants, Public Toilets, Retail Spaces and Public Facilities due to the highly decorative aesthetics and strong resistance to wear and excellent hygiene characteristics.

PROPERTIES
