PROJECT OVERVIEW
Repairing, protecting, and maintaining structures of all types is a necessary and worthwhile investment to extend a structure’s usable service life. Traffic coatings help waterproof & protect concrete structures, such as parking garages, exposed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Traffic coatings have traditionally been done with polyurethanes in multiple steps with a flexible waterproofing layer and a durable wear resistant layer.
Sika’s recent innovation in traffic coatings, Sikalastic One Shot systems, break this traditional mold by combining the flexibility needed in waterproofing with the durability needed to handle traffic in a single polyurethane coating. The One Shot systems reduce steps while improving performance.
SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH PERFORMANCE
For years traffic coatings have used added silica sand to provide texture and anti-slip in coatings. Now with the One Shot innovation, high-performance, silica-free aggregate provides slip resistance, while reducing coating weight using recycled materials. Unlike standard silica sand this unique aggregate forms both a mechanical and chemical bond with the One Shot resin, improving the slip resistance and overall robustness of the coating. Replacing silica sand with 100% post-industrial recycled material reinforces Sika’s drive to bring sustainability and performance together.
Sikalastic One Shot Systems includeSikalastic 720 One Shot, designed for vehicular traffic and Sikalastic 726 Balcony One Shot, designed for pedestrian traffic.
