What are the benefits of MMA Systems?

MMA systems are strong and resilient, offering you excellent UV protection prevents fading and yellowing even in direct sunlight coupled with high resistance to abrasion and chemicals. All coatings are non-porous helping to achieve a bacteria and mould free easy to clean finish.

Available in a wide variety of colours with the option to add non-slip aggregates and quartz decorative finishes.

INSTALLATION DETAILS

  • Although VOC compliant and odour free when dry, MMA has a very strong odour during installation.
  • UV-resistance prevents colour fading
  • Ideal for fast turnaround renovations
  • Rapid curing, even in cold temperatures
  • Thermal shock and chemical protection suitable for restaurant and kitchen applications
  • Excellent water-resistance
  • Excellent self-bonding characteristics, which means that it’s easy to repair should damage ever occur
  • Low-gloss finish
  • Easy-to-clean seamless

MMA floorings can be installed at temperatures down to -30°C without any detrimental effect on cure time. For most epoxy and polyurethane resins, manufacturers’ guidelines advise they should not be installed at temperatures of less than 5-10°C, with the optimal cure temperature being approx. 20°C.

ABOUT US

MMA FLOORING VS EPOXY/POLURETHANE FLOORING

Cure times affect how quickly an installation can occur and then how quickly the floor can be returned to full use – or other trades come back into the area to work. When a resin floor has reached a physical cure, it is trafficable, however, chemicals are still released into the air until the resin reaches a full chemical cure.

MMA FLOORING

Time to full physical cure (i.e. able to full traffic): 2 Hours

Time to full chemical cure (i.e. able to full use): 2 Hours

EPOXY/POLYURETHANE FLOORING

Time to full physical cure (i.e. able to full traffic): 12-48 Hours

Time to full chemical cure (i.e. able to full use): 3-10 Days

WHY CHOOSE DIAMOND RESIN?

What our customers and client have to say about us.

VIEW ALL TESTIMONIALS

Having searched the web for local floor refurbishment companies we came across a few which included Diamond Resin, having asked for quotations from a few and carried out site visits we found the finish from Diamond Resin to be the best option. Gerry, their project manager came across as very enthusiastic and cost reasonable against other quotations.

POLYASPARTIC SYSTEMS

In busy industrial settings having a durable floor is essential. However, it may be that there is not enough time within the shutdown periods to have a resin floor installed with longer cure time. A polyaspartic floor has the benefit of being able to withstand light traffic after a few hours when the correct temperature and conditions are met. Therefore, if you are needing a resin floor which is strong and ready to be used after a few hours, a fast curing polyaspartic resin flooring product may be the right choice for you.

This product is currently revolutionising the concrete floor coating and sealing industry because it can be applied at nearly any temperature, bonds easily to nearly any concrete surface, cures to full strength within half an hour, is flexible enough to fill small cracks, can withstand high temperatures, and has superior stain and UV resistance.

With this product, it is imperative that the substrate moisture vapor emission rate cannot be high and we need to have the proper solids content in the Polyaspartic coating to allow it to wet out the concrete surface to develop a proper bond.

POLYASPARTIC FEATURES & USES

With Polyaspartic coatings we think believe that the benefits outweigh the problems. Essentially this product should only be installed by professionals who have extensive floor coating experience as the advantage of a fast cure can become a detriment if the material sets before application is complete.

The cost ratio to performance ratio of this system coupled with ease of application and fast turnaround times is increasingly making Polyaspartic the modern material of choice for today’s heavy duty floor.
