KVK Float Special Coatings: Floating acid protection for industrial plants
An innovative protective coating for chemically stressed surfaces, particularly suitable for refurbishing catch pans.The KVK Float System is a newly developed, glass fiber-reinforced coating system specifically designed for catch basins, concrete structures, and steel surfaces in the chemical industry. It provides reliable protection against aggressive substances such as acids and alkalis, while also offering high mechanical durability and easy application. The coating meets the strictest German quality standards and is DIBt-approved in accordance with the German Water Resources Act (WHG).
High-level chemical resistance
Thanks to its special formulation, the KVK Float coating is resistant to a wide range of aggressive chemicals. It reliably prevents corrosion and damage, even under continuous exposure to acids, alkalis, and solvents. Ideal for use in LAU systems, production areas, and industrial containment zones.
Efficient application – even on fresh concrete
A key advantage of the KVK Float System: it can be applied directly to walkable fresh concrete before full curing. No sandblasting is required, which saves time and reduces costs. Application is also possible at low temperatures, allowing flexible use throughout the year. The coating cures within 24 hours, resulting in minimal downtime.
Strong adhesion – low thermal expansion
The coating adheres excellently to concrete, steel, and other substrates with minimal surface preparation. Thanks to its glass fiber-reinforced structure, it not only offers mechanical stability but also features up to six times lower thermal expansion compared to thermoplastic coatings. This ensures long-lasting protection and dimensionally stable surfaces.
Low-maintenance and easy to repair
In the event of damage, the KVK Float System can be repaired locally and easily. This extends the service life of the system and reduces maintenance costs.
Certified safety – officially approved
The quality of the KVK Float System is TÜV-certified and holds official construction approval from the German Institute for Building Technology (DIBt). This ensures compliance with the requirements of the German Water Resources Act (WHG) and provides certified safety for environmental protection.
