The Sarina Sugar Shed is a local tourist attraction that operates
as a miniature working sugar mill and distillery. The existing
flooring had been exposed to aggressive chemical corrosion
(due to aggressive properties of sugar acids) and had begun to
deteriorate and break down. Bayset proposed a Hychem Epoxy
Flooring System that provided a moisture tolerant, durable
and chemical resistant solution. Smart Seal Waterproofing and
Epoxy Coatings provided a professional and timely application
as to avoid disruption to the Sugar Shed's daily operations.

The Solution
After grinding the exisiting flooring and preparing the surface
Hychem E100 Epoxy Primer, moisture tolerant primer, was
applied to the entire area. This prepared the surface for the
application of Hychem GP Epoxy Resin to repair spalled and
cracked areas. Hychem SF12FG was then applied as the
final wear surface creating a robust non slip surface that has
outstanding chemical resistance.

The Benefits
Hychem E100 Epoxy Primer
Hychem E100 is a solvent based, two-component epoxy primer,
generally used to prime concrete surfaces prior to the application of the
main coating products or systems.
- Good penetration
- Good curing properties
- Suitable for a range of applications and coatings
Hychem GP Epoxy Binder
HYCHEM GP Epoxy is a cost effective, low viscosity epoxy binder
designed to be blended with quartz fillers. It is the ideal binder for the
quick repair of damaged concrete surfaces.
- High compressive strength
- Good pot life offers practical work time
- Can be used as a primer, binder & sealer
Hychem SF12 FG Fast Cure Epoxy Coating
Hychem SF12FG is a high solids, chemical resistant, epoxy coating with
built-in fine grit anti-slip additive that provides a fine non-slip surface.
- Chemical resistant to petroleum oils, solvents, acids, alkalies, hot fats.
- Durable (high solids (85%) provides a 300 micron DFT).
- Slip resistant.
- Hard wearing even in harsh and punishing environments.
