It consists of coating and protection of existing pavements in the storage rooms and refrigerators areas of warehouse stores dedicated to the handling and preparation of meat production.
The particular areas that have repaired were in very poor condition due to the aggression of the materials used and abrasion from contact with moving trucks.

The procedure followed in this application is as follows:
First step: support preparation
- Milling of the surface: surfacing of the concrete slab, to obtain a high adhesion of the system and reducing at zero the accumulation of air and therefore the appearance of bubbles or craters in the surface once the membrane is applied.
- General Cleaning: removing with vacuum of dust, dirt and other material generated during earlier work and that may prevent optimal adhesion to the substrate.
Second step: singular points
They are the elements as dilatation joints, encounters with walls, drains or other specific and singular points of the structure and surfaces. They require focused work to ensure proper system operation. In this case, the work was done in the following points:
- Realization of half-cylinder mortar: in this application, it was important to ensure continuity of the waterproofing system Tecnocoat P-2049 in all encounters of the zones with vertical walls, and get good support for vertical membrane. Thus, a perfect continuity is ensured on the sharp points, which in the long term because of possible movements of the structure, which can damage the membrane. This work was done on the intersections with the walls, skylights and other existing elements. In this way the membrane Tecnocoat P-2049 requires no assembly or reinforcement extra systems.
- Preparation of existing joints: joints on existing slabs and perimeter walls were prepared using our Desmopol PU elastic sealant(mastic), to achieve a perfect flexibility and prevent breakage due during possible excessive movement of the concrete structure ..
Third step: Tecnocoat P-2049 application
the Tecnocoat P-2049 system used on this project is constituted by:
- Primer Tecnocoat Primer PU: applied with a roller over the entire surface, improves the adhesion of the existing support and avoid the presence of trapped air.
- Membrane Tecnocoat P-2049: Tecnocoat polyurea membrane 100% pure, continuous and fully bonded to the support, is applied by spraying equipment as graco E-XP2, by an instantly control of mixture, temperature and pressure of the liquid components. It is applied directly on the primer, in many continuous layers until the thickness required by our document ETA 11/0357.

The factors favoring the application of the Tecnocoat P-2049 system, and not other coating systems were
as follows:
- High resistance to chemicals
- Fast execution of the application and thus a reduction stopping time.
- Complete protection against friction and abrasion against the action of mobile trucks and transport elements.
- Complete continuity of the coating membrane, fully adhered, without joints or overlapping for all the execution.
- High resistance of Tenocoat P-2049 membrane to low temperatures (-25 ° C) .
