Expanded Polystyrene
Polystyrene is made by polymerising styrene, which is produced by combining benzene and ethylene. The polystyrene thus produced is one of the thermoplastic materials sometimes called linear polymers. These are materials that soften on the application of heat and harden as they cool. The expanded foam (known EPS) is used in various built environment applications.
Sagex has more than 50 years experience in the manufacture of EPS and introduced the product into the South African market.
The installation of a polyurethane screed in a food manufacturing facility requires thorough surface preparation, including cleaning to remove contaminants such as grease, oil, and food particles, as well as grinding or shot blasting to ensure a strong bond between the screed and substrate.
The project involved the installation of a high performance, non slip floor covering in a government hospital.
The project involved delivering a UV stable, non chalking, high gloss finish floor using a twin application of Solidkote UVC.
