Sherwin-Williams, a global manufacturer of paints and coatings, has successfully applied its Resuflor™ high-build epoxy floor coating system at a hangar in Teesside International Airport, the location for the Royal Air Force’s (RAF) Interim Red Air Aggressor Training Service (IRAATS). A Resuflor topcoat system has been used to ensure a reliable and robust floor surface for the L-159E aircraft that are being used to conduct combat training.
Ensuring that the 2,000 m2 hangar used by IRAATS has a floor coating that can withstand the rigors of activities that take place, there was the responsibility of Darlington-based specialist flooring contractor, MJF Group. The company’s Managing Director, Martin Ferguson, said, “As you would expect from a project that involves the RAF, only the very best-in-class products could be used in order to offer the required levels of health and safety. We assessed a number of products from various floor coatings manufacturers and felt that Sherwin-Williams’ Resuflor coating system offered the required protection and resistance to Skydrol.”
