Mayfield Laboratories – Engineering & Manufacturing Flooring
PSC were invited by Mayfield Laboratories, Contract manufacturers to the cosmetics and toiletries industry to look at a Production Area totalling 246 square meters in their facility in Tiverton, Devon. Mayfield Laboratories is part of Natural Looks Trading Ltd., which owns a successful and expanding chain of international retail outlets.
Mayfield Laboratories Brief and Recommendations
At the site visit it was noted that the floor itself had coats of failed floor paint that would need to be removed before any final surface could be installed. The client explained that they wanted a hard wearing, impact resistant, fully chemical resistant, smooth resin floor, that would be easy to clean and would last for many years. PSC recommended installing a FeRFA type 7, nominal 4mm Resdev Pumadur MD polyurethane screed.
In Preparation
In preparation for the MD polyurethane screed the 250 square meter area was thoroughly cleaned and prepared using a captive and enclosed doubled headed diamond grinding machine, and totally enclosed hand held 110v diamond grinder.
The area was then vacuumed clean of all residues and dust and 6mm x 6mm saw cuts were made around drains, door entrances and where necessary to toe in and anchor screed.
Nominal 4mm heavy duty Resdev MD Polyurethane Screed totalling 246 sq mtrs
An epoxy resin priming system, was laid incorporating a heavy scatter of 0.7 to 1.2mm quartz aggregate to create grip for the nominal 4mm screed.
The 246 square meter area was masked out and a nominal 4mm Resdev Pumadur MD, heavy duty polyurethane screed, in smooth, matt, in the clients chosen mid grey.
Finally 6mm x 6mm saw cuts were made to reintroduce expansion joint with polyurethane jointing compound, to 27 linear metres.
