Thermoplastic floor wax

Focus on metallization: What is floor metallization?

Plastic/thermoplastic floor metallization is a process that involves applying a thin layer of wax or emulsion to a plastic floor to improve its strength, durability and aesthetic appearance . This technique is often used for vinyl, PVC or linoleum floors in high-traffic commercial or industrial buildings, such as hospitals, schools, shopping malls and factories....
The metallization process involves the use of a solution called wax or liquid emulsion, the concentration and number of layers of which determine its resistance over time. The wax thus applied forms a thin layer on the surface of the plastic floor, which is then treated with a spray applied with a single-brush machine to improve its resistance to scratches, stains, and wear.
Plastic floor metallization is beneficial because it offers better resistance to scratches, chemicals, abrasion, and stains, as well as a smoother, shinier surface. It can also extend the life of the plastic floor and reduce maintenance costs by eliminating the need for regular waxing.
It is important to note that plastic floor metallization is not suitable for all types of plastic floors and must be carried out by a qualified professional to ensure a quality result and optimal safety.
To do this, a preliminary test on the surface may be necessary because waxing is a heavy process.
