Methyl methacrylate<\/a>, more commonly known as “MMA” coatings, is a dual-system polymer that is used in flooring coating applications. Its durability, fast curing time, and versatility have made it a popular flooring solution than other flooring systems on the market today.<\/p>\n

MMA coatings<\/a> are highly favored for commercial, industrial, and institutional environments as they offer both functional strength and sleek aesthetics. Other advantages from using MMA coatings for flooring systems include fast curing time, high resistance to wear and tear, rapid installation time, and low-maintenance quality.<\/p>\n

The Features of Using an MMA Flooring System<\/h2>\n

\"mmaTo gain a full understanding and appreciation of MMA coatings<\/em>, it is important to learn about its features. Enumerated below are the qualities of MMA which makes it an increasingly popular solution in industrial and commercial flooring installations.<\/p>\n

MMA coatings consist of three basic layers:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. PRIMER that goes on top of the substrate<\/li>\n
  2. BODY COAT resin that can be applied in one or more layers<\/li>\n
  3. TOPCOAT is the uppermost layer used to seal the flooring system<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Flooring systems made from MMA cure within two hours of application. Another unique feature of MMA coatings is their ability to cure in low temperatures ranging between -20 degrees Fahrenheit to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.<\/p>\n
