Dynamically crack-bridging OS floor coating
Surface protection system based on OS 11a for a high-traffic underground car park in Allach, Germany.
Assignment and requirements
In underground garages, the right surface protection system ensures longevity, durability and protection of the building structure. In this much frequented car park in Allach, Germany, we had to install a coating that met the requirements for resistance to chemical and mechanical loads, while also being able to bridge the cracks in the concrete.
Particularities and challenges
Due to the high volume of traffic, the aisles and parking bays of the multi-storey car park required a dynamic crack-bridging surface protection coating to counteract the increased risk of cracking and to withstand penetrating liquids or chemicals such as de-icing salt, engine or transmission oils and fuels.
The abrasion-resistant and robust surface is designed for the mechanical loads that occur in the automotive sector and largely prevents signs of wear.
The solution
The OS 11a surface protection system with its elastic, dynamically crack-bridging floating layer made of KLB-SYSTEM POLYURETHAN PU 5550 is particularly suitable for such requirements. The deformable wear coat KLB-SYSTEM POLYURETHAN PU 5560 can resist high mechanical stress.
A slightly non-slip surface of class R11 is created by scattering the wearing layer in excess with quartz sand KLB-Quarzsand 0.3/0.8 mm and sealing it with top sealer KLB-SYSTEM EPOXID EP 5570. The latter is light-stable and suitable for use on weather-exposed parking decks.
