Problem Faced:

Berger Paints India Limited was approached by Amazon Limited to find a solution for Insulating Flooring for their Data Centres, panel room and server room. They were looking for a dust-free environment with a Di-electric breakdown voltage of 44KV with no dust generated during the coating process.

Solution Offered:

After a thorough understanding of the client’s requirements, Berger Paints India Limited offered them a personalized solution. 

Step 1: First, we made sure that the surface was clean, and even and did not have any loose or crumbly particles. The aim here was to ensure there were no additional layers, such as oil, grease, paraffin, rubber debris, or dirt, that would affect the adhesive strength of the primer or coating. We then pre-treated the surface and profiled it to match CSP 3.

Step 2: The Pro Epishield Floor Sealer was then applied as a primer to all surfaces that needed to be coated. Priming is usually used on surfaces with a maximum residual moisture content of 5%. The primer layer reduced the level of porosity in the concrete and thereby lessened the chance of outgassing. This also aided in the adhesion of the coating area.

Step 3: The top coat was applied. For the desired result of 44 KV, we designed the solution with 2mm thickness and carefully applied it on the floor.

Conclusion:

Berger Paints India Limited effectively addressed Amazon Data Centres’ requirement and provided them with a dust-free environment with a Di-electric Breakdown voltage of 44KV.
