Thermoplastic floor wax

Focus on metallization: What is floor metallization?

Metallization of plastic / thermoplastic floors is a process which consists of applying a thin layer of wax or emulsion to a plastic floor in order to improve its resistance, durability and aesthetic appearance . This technique is often used for vinyl, PVC, or linoleum flooring 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 applied will determine the resistance over time. The wax thus laid forms a thin layer on the surface of the plastic floor, which is then treated with a spray applied with a single brush to improve its resistance to scratches, stains and wear.
Metallizing plastic flooring is beneficial because it provides better resistance to scratches, chemicals, abrasion and stains, as well as a smoother, shinier surface. It can also extend the life of plastic flooring and reduce the cost of maintenance 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 cumbersome process.
