MMA Rapid Cure Flooring
2-Hour Installation for Zero Downtime Operations
Why Is MMA the Fastest Flooring Solution?
MMA cures in 2 hours at 20°C. At -30°C, it still cures in 2 hours. Standard epoxy won't even flow below 10°C. This chemistry makes MMA essential for cold stores, overnight retail flooring installations, and emergency repairs in London's 24-hour facilities.
Tesco Metros install 1,000m² between 10pm closing and 6am opening. The timeline breaks down precisely: 10pm-midnight for preparation, midnight-3am for installation, 3am-5am for cure and inspection. Store opens on schedule with zero revenue loss. Traditional epoxy would require 72-hour closure costing £45,000 in lost sales.
Chemical bonds form between MMA and substrate at 15 N/mm² tensile strength. This exceeds concrete's own tensile strength of 3-5 N/mm². After 15 years, pull-off tests show identical adhesion values to day one. The cross-linked polymer structure resists 98% of industrial chemicals including petrol, oils, and cleaning acids.
What Makes MMA Technology Unique?
2-Hour Full Cure
Walk-on in 60 minutes. Forklift traffic in 90 minutes. Full 80 N/mm² strength at 120 minutes, verified by Schmidt hammer testing.
Cold Weather Installation
Catalyst adjustment enables cure from -30°C to +40°C. Freezer installations proceed without heating equipment or downtime.
Superior Adhesion
Bonds to concrete at 97% RH moisture. Adheres to asphalt, steel, tiles. Pull-off strength exceeds 2.5 N/mm².
UV Stable
Zero yellowing after 5,000 hours UV exposure. Colour Delta E values stay below 2.0 in xenon arc testing.

How Does Overnight MMA Installation Work?
Diamond grinding achieves CSP-3 profile with HEPA dust extraction maintaining air quality below 1mg/m³. We complete 500m² preparation in 3 hours using triple-head grinders. Moisture testing and primer application happen during business hours, saving critical overnight installation time.
MMA mixing uses 2% benzoyl peroxide catalyst at 20°C, adjusted to 3% at 5°C. Pour time is 8 minutes before gelation begins. Three-person crews maintain wet edges across 200m² sections. Spike shoes allow back-rolling within the coating for bubble release and uniform 3mm thickness.
Cure monitoring uses Shore D hardness testing at 30-minute intervals. Values reach 65 at 60 minutes, 75 at 90 minutes, final 80-85 at 120 minutes. Adhesion pull-tests confirm 2.5 N/mm² bond strength. Thickness measurements verify 3mm ±0.2mm across the floor. Documentation includes timestamped photos and test results for warranty records.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, MMA reaches full chemical cure and maximum hardness within 2 hours at 20°C, even faster at higher temperatures. This isn't just foot traffic ready - it's fully cured for forklifts, pallet jacks, and heavy machinery. We guarantee your floor will be 100% operational for your next business day.
MMA has a characteristic odour during application, similar to acrylic. However, this dissipates completely within the 2-hour cure time. By the time your facility reopens, there's no residual odour. We use extraction systems during installation to minimise any temporary smell.
MMA bonds exceptionally well to existing epoxy, polyurethane, concrete, and even VCT tiles after proper preparation. This eliminates costly removal and disposal. We test existing coatings for compatibility and prepare the surface appropriately, saving time and reducing installation costs.
MMA's rapid cure means weather rarely affects installation. For exterior applications, we need just a 2-hour weather window. The system is moisture-tolerant during application and fully waterproof once cured. We monitor weather closely and can work around brief showers.
While MMA material costs are higher than epoxy, the total project cost is often lower when considering zero downtime. You avoid 3-7 days of lost revenue with traditional systems. For a retail store, the revenue saved typically exceeds the entire flooring cost.
