Surface protection systems tested according to the requirements of TR maintenance directive and DIN EN 1504-2
A comparison of KLB surface protection systems.
Surface protection is a crucial issue in multi-storey or underground car parks, but also on all other traffic surfaces that are accessible to vehicles. How can you extend the useful life of car park buildings and protect them from the many external influences? That’s where a surface protection system comes in. But not all surface protection is the same. In this article, we present different surface protection coating solutions and go into their special features, e.g. the characteristics of an OS 11 coating compared with an OS 8 system.
What all surface protection systems have in common is that they offer reliable, permanent protection of the underlying building fabric against any chemical or mechanical effects, are impervious to liquids and highly resistant to abrasion or wear. To ensure pedestrian and traffic safety, the systems are available in various slip resistance grades. All coatings – whether OS 8, OS 11, OS 14 and OS 5b – are tested and certified in accordance with the current requirements of the TR maintenance directive.

Design freedom for individual and safe car park concepts:
Our KLB surface protection systems not only provide reliable protection for the building, they also offer a wide range of design and colouring options. The visual demarcation of pathways makes it easier for car park users to find their way around, which also increases traffic safety. In addition to this, a colourful finish effectively integrates the car park operator’s corporate image.
OS 8 coatings
Our OS 8 coatings are ideal for application in indoor multi-storey car parks and underground garages, wherever a reliable protection of the underlying building structure is required against the penetration of moisture or chemical substances as well as a high wear resistance. Depending on the project, you can choose between a rigid or a flexibilised and statically crack-bridging OS 8 coating. Typical areas of application are roadways or spindles and ramps that are exposed to oscillations and vibrations.
System K1
KLB PARKING EP OS 8
Rigid and robust surface protection system as standard coating for acccessible interior garages or car parks subject to heavy mechanical loads
System K5
KLB PARKING EP OS 8 Economic
Rigid, two-layered and economic surface protection system for interior areas subject to heavy mechanical loads
System K6
KLB PARKING PU OS 8 Flex
Flexibilised, statically crack-bridging surface protection system (0.5 mm at -10 °C)
System K7
KLB PARKING EP OS 8 Flex
Water vapour-permeable, flexibilised and statically crack-bridging surface protection system (0.6 mm at -10 °C)
OS 11 coatings
KLB’s surface protection systems based on OS 11 are flexible and offer a dynamic crack-bridging capability even at low temperatures. With their comprehensive performance spectrum, they are perfectly suited for heavily frequented, commercial parking buildings at risk of crack formation, that have to meet the highest demands. For one part, areas of application are weather-exposed open decks with sunlight or also bridge caps and paths, but also interior intermediate decks and roofed top decks.
System K2
KLB PARKING PU OS 11a
Elastic, dynamically crack-bridging surface protection system for indoor and outdoor areas (up to -20 °C / -4 °F), with each a floating and wearing layer (“two-layered”), colour and light-stable
System K3
KLB PARKING PU OS 11b
Elastic, dynamically crack-bridging surface protection system for indoor areas (up to -20 °C / -4 °F), with a combination of wearing and waterproofing layer (“one-layered”)
OS 14 coating
With its higher layer thickness and increased dynamic crack-bridging capability, the OS 14 coating offers a very good protection against liquids or chemical substances – both indoors and outdoors. The elasticity and highly flexible floating layer makes it very durable and therefore suitable for concrete components, that are at risk of cracking, also in weather-exposed areas.
System K4
KLB PARKING PU OS 14
Elastic surface protection system with increased dynamic crack-bridging for the interior and exterior, colour and light-stable
OS 5b coating
Our OS 5b Wall coating is suitable for wall surfaces in car parks or underground garages and offers excellent protection against moisture or corrosion. The system is characterised by its polymer-modified composition.
System K8
KLB PARKING OS 5b Wall
Elastified, statically and dynamically crack-bridging surface protection system for walls and plinths with special requirements on protecting the building fabric
