Acrylic Resin Flooring — Fast-Cure MMA & PMMA Systems
Acrylic resin — MMA and PMMA systems — is the answer when the site can't be shut for days. It cures in about an hour, works in cold conditions where epoxy won't, and delivers a durable, chemical-resistant floor. Priced above epoxy but essential in the right environment.
Where this works
- Cold stores & chilled prep rooms
- Bakeries, dairies & food-processing
- Pharmacy & medical (24 hr operation)
- Airport & transport hubs — overnight installs
- Retail refits with a single-night shutdown
How we install it
- 1Prep at speed
Diamond grinding or captive shot-blasting to CSP3–CSP4, edges chased, all in the window before the site closes for the night.
- 2MMA primer
Fast-cure MMA primer soaks in and cures in 30–40 minutes even at low temperatures. Bonding is chemical, not just mechanical.
- 3Trowel-applied build
Coloured MMA mortar is trowel-applied to 4–6 mm with aggregate broadcast for slip resistance.
- 4Seal & open
MMA sealer applied. Traffic-ready in 2–3 hours from final coat — perfect for overnight installs in a live retail or food site.
Common pitfalls we prevent
Frequently asked
Why not just use epoxy — it's cheaper?+
Epoxy takes 24+ hours to walk on and doesn't cure in cold stores. MMA cures in an hour and works down to -25 °C. If your site can shut for a week and it's not below 10 °C, epoxy is fine. If not, MMA earns its price.
Is the smell dangerous?+
It's strong but low-toxicity and dissipates in hours once cured. Adjacent live areas need positive-pressure ventilation planning and, in commercial settings, we coordinate with the site H&S team.
Can MMA go outside?+
Yes — UV-stable variants are used for external walkways, ramps and podium decks.
