Johnie Emmerich, Technical Sales Consultant – Flooring for A.B.E. in the Western Cape, says abecote 400 Hi-build , an economical four-component, solvent-free epoxy flooring system produced and supplied by A.B.E., was selected for the new 1 000m2 concrete floors at the panel beating premises in Daljosafat, Paarl. “The abecote system comprises a clear resin and hardener, pre-packed filler and ready-for-use pigment paste.  It is suitable for a variety of applications: from workshops such as at Tekton, to ablution blocks, walkways, food processing plants, hospitals, and schools. It could also be used as a binder for abrasive grit to provide non-slip floor finishes,” Emmerich stated.
