Distribution Center Flooring

Case Study – HP Spartacote® Polyaspartic Zebra Stripes
Location: United Kingdon, outside London
Installation Team:
Polyurea Coatings Ltd.
1 the Old Cornmill, Glusburn
North Yorkshire, BD20 8DW .UK

Project:
One of the leading automotive parts distribution centers in England. The project called for a standard shop floor coating with a specialized zebra stripe pattern down an elevated center lane. This lane was to also be bordered with safety yellow stripes.

System:
HP Spartacote’s® heavy-duty Sparta-Guard™ system was selected due to its rapid turn around time, durability and thin-mil characteristics. The previous spray-down polyurea coating’s thickness became an issue as it incurred heavy damage from continuous forklift traffic.

Project Challenges:

-Limited installation & return to service time-frame
-Thin-Mil system requirements
-Ultra heavy-duty with capabilities of withstanding heavy forklift traffic

Installation Specifics:

-Following the completion of the solid-color coating, the install team taped off and installed the white and black zebra stripes.
-Once completed the safety yellow border was applied to the elevated center lane.
-Finally, one clear top-coat with traction additive was applied for added durability
-Given the rapid turn-around time, the entire project was completed over a weekend evening, off business hours in less than 24 hours.

The client was very pleased as they received a new, highly durable coating without sacrificing any productive capacity due to facility down time.
