On the Future of Industrial Floors
by Dipl.-Chem. Dr. Peter Seidler
Industrial Floors 1999, International Colloquium Jan 12-16, 1999 11.4 Reaction polymers
- Officially recognised trade of "Industrial floor applicator"
Four special fields with computer assisted training:
·
concrete
·
overlays (screeds)
·
reaction polymers
·
acidproof floors and coatings (water resources laws)
- Products which are really foolproof
·
better spreading (adhesion)
·
wider tolerance for quantity ratios (mixing)
·
lower risk from moisture (osmosis)
- Easy measuring of the properties
·
Transparency of competition
·
Relevance of properties
·
Constancy of composition (characterisation)
- Standardized laying, but
·
fewer standards and guidelines
·
robots for laying
- Laying of concrete slab under roof
to be independent from the climatic situation outside
- Better training for technical advisors
- Value analysis and expert system
·
for clients, planners and contractors
·
for easier decision making
·
directory of experts
·
directory of (international) prices
·
literature database on CD-ROM
- Ordering via Internet
e.g. «http://www.baunet.de/astradur»
- No substrate preparation: a dream?
- GSP (Good Site Practice) as a standard
