PRODUCTS USED: • STONCLAD HT • STONSET PM5

BioVectra Inc. is an Eastern Canadian supplier to the global pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, operating from three, FDA-inspected facilities. THE CHALLENGE The Bioextraction Facility was refitted for animal biomass processing in 2002 and features 2 glass-lined Pfaudler reactor systems (10 gallon and 30 gallon). Due to the nature of the material processed in this facility, a seamless, easy to clean wall coating system that could handle the demanding environment, was required to protect the area. It was imperative that the flooring system be highly corrosion resistant while also offering anti-static properties.
• ATK PRIMER • STONKOTE AT5
THE STONHARD SOLUTION For the walls, the Stonhard team recommended a system of concrete board, fibertape to cover the seams, and HT primer. The entire wall surface was then coated with Stonglaze VSE. Stonglaze VSE is a multi-layer, impact resistant, light stable, flexible urethane wall system specifically designed for harsh areas. The flooring system was comprised of ATK Primer, a conducting primer system, Stonclad HT and Stonkote AT5. Stonclad HT is specifically designed for areas that are exposed to corrosive spillages and abrasive wheeled traffic. Stonkote AT5 is a static control epoxy coating designed to increase abrasion resistance while improving cleanability and controlling static charge generation. When combined with ATK Primer, Stonkote AT5 creates a static dissipative flooring system eliminating nuisance static.
