Good experience with MC product systems

For FRUCTON, the construction of a particularly resilient industrial floor in the new production facility was an important criterion in the contract award. The clients felt that the issue of flooring would be crucial to the operation of the facility, which is why they removed the floors and wall protection from the general contract, instead dealing directly with prospective providers. FRUCTON’s owner, Piotr Grzegorczyk, and his technical staff have extensive experience in using various flooring solutions in their facilities. And they had already had good experience with MC in a number of projects, also involving various high-performance, durable products for heavy-duty industrial floors installed at different times since 2002 – solutions that have continued to impress with their durability despite the heavy wear and tear to which they have been subjected.

 

Darosław Demski, Sales Manager of MC-Bauchemie in Poland, remembers: “FRUCTON is an interesting story for me. We have been in contact with the company for 26 years. Back at the beginning, I personally delivered two containers of MC-DUR 1200 VK in the boot of my Ford Orion for the first test areas in FRUCTON’s production facilities.” And it appears this personal commitment paid off. Since then, more extensive contacts have been systematically established and consolidated, with MC field sales representative Wojciech Kucner also having successfully served the company since 2002. The relationship of trust that has lasted over 26 years was a major factor in FRUCTON choosing MC and its products for the floor of the new production facility. However, rather than merely relying on reputation and experience gained from these many years of successful engagement in order to win over the clients in Poland, MC also presented them with a compelling set of hard facts relating to the new MC-PowerCoat 280 product system. Those responsible at FRUCTON were duly convinced in every respect, so that the contractor chosen, DORTEX, was able to start work with the system mid-April 2022.

 

Outstanding protection for walls and floors with MC-Color LE and MC-DUR-PowerCoat 280

Before the industrial floor could be installed, other MC products were first used for the walls and pillars of the new production facility. Initially, approximately 1,200 m² of plinths and pillars on the ground floor were smoothed over with the cementitious fine filler Nafufill SF and then protected with an OS system. This involved the application of MC-DUR 1177 WV-A as a primer in the wall areas, followed by the high-performance coating MC-Color LE to give a smooth, hydrophobic and dirt-repellent surface. In the particularly stressed areas of the subsequently tackled warehouse storing the cleaning chemicals, a surface of approx. 400 m² was protected with the special sealant MC-DUR 2496 CTP, a coating that is very easy to maintain and also highly resistant to even aggressive chemicals. Thereafter an extremely resilient industrial floor coating of MC-DUR PowerCoat 280 was applied to cover an area of approx. 4,200 m² of the ground floor, thus creating a demonstrably safe and reliable underfoot surface for FRUCTON’s future food production. The MC-DUR PowerCoat 280 industrial floor can currently be considered the most durable coating of its type available – not just based on confidence in the high quality of the product system, but also proven through cyclic thermal stress testing at the specially designed MC test facility.
