Принадлежит: Adastra Technologies Inc

A method of treating a floor involves first applying a release layer to the floor, then applying a UV-curable coating above the release layer and curing it by exposure to UV radiation, e.g. by means of UV lamps supported in plane above the floor by a portable floor machine. The release layer serves as a sacrificial layer enabling easy removal of the coating, e.g. by power scrubbing with hot water, after which a new release layer and UV-curable coating can be applied.
