Rapid UV cure

A leading supermarket chain is reported to be benefiting from operational cost savings, improved performance and a safer, more efficient workplace following the implementation of Quaker Chemical's RapidShield UV-curable floor coating system to apply storage bay lines and safety symbols in its distribution centres.

Once applied to a prepared, clean floor, RapidShield is cured instantly by a portable unit that emits UVlight, turning the coating into a solid film which creates a strong bond to the substrate. A durable, non-slip, gloss or matt finish with a high level of chemical resistance is produced, which, thanks to the fast cure, can be used again within minutes.
