To ensure the highest quality results, Laminex, a renowned local manufacturer with a 90-year history in Australia, sought the expertise of Limitless Linemarking Solutions and Dulux® Protective Coatings' Light Industrial Technical Sales Representative, Peta Bray. Their collaboration aimed to select the best product for the job.
A Durable Roadmarking Solution for Warehouse Floors
Dulux® Roadmaster® A1, a single-pack, fast-dry road marking paint, proved to be the ideal solution for Laminex's warehouse floor requirements. Formulated with a durable alkyd modified chlorinated rubber resin, this paint is suitable for application on both concrete and bitumen surfaces. One of its key advantages is its ability to provide clean lines of high visibility without bleeding or discolouration.
To further enhance visibility and safety, Roadmaster A1 lines can be beaded to impart reflectance. By dispersing suitable glass beads onto the wet paint, night visibility is significantly improved. This feature is particularly beneficial for areas that require increased safety measures.
Features of Roadmaster A1: Durability and Sharp Line Edges
Roadmaster A1 boasts several features that make it an excellent choice for warehouse floors. Its high durability ensures long-lasting results, even in high-traffic areas. Additionally, the low dusting formula ensures sharp line edges, maintaining the clarity of markings over time. The high build of Roadmaster A1 also allows for the application of reflective glass beads, further enhancing visibility.
Proper Preparation for Concrete Floors
Before applying Roadmaster A1 to concrete floors, it is important to follow certain steps to achieve optimal results. The concrete must be at least 28 days old to allow for proper curing. Any oil, grease, or contaminants should be removed using Gamlen CA 1, following Dulux® Protective Coatings' instructions and safety guidelines. Diamond grinding, track blasting, or light shot-blasting may be necessary to remove laitance, curing compounds, and hardeners, as well as to achieve a recommended concrete surface profile (CSP2 to CSP3) according to ICRI Guideline No. 310.2R. Thoroughly remove all dust through vacuum cleaning, and fill any large cracks or voids using a recommended filler.
Precision Application with Graco LineLazer V5900
To ensure straight and uniform coatings, Limitless Linemarking Solutions utilised the Graco LineLazer 130HS and 200HS for the application of markings at Laminex Warehouse. Both of these line marking machines guarantee precise and consistent results, meeting the highest standards of quality. A single coat of Roadmaster A1 was applied at a thickness of 225-microns DFT in yellow, white, black, blue, green and red.
"We found Roadmaster A1 incredibly user-friendly. It's a fantastic product for spraying with ease.", says Brock Bardell from Limitless Linemarking Solutions.
