Garmin’s Southampton
facility has over 460m2 of
pedestrian walkways, and
many hatched safety zones
and logos. Continuous
pedestrian and forklift traffic
meant that despite trying
many different coatings they
faded and came away and
had to be renewed frequently.

Tight production
deadlines meant disruption
during line renewal was a
problem. As delicate electronic
items are involved, those
parts of the warehouse being
treated had to be completely
cleared to protect them from
contamination by solvents
used in the coatings. Garmin
could only allow limited
down time and the facility
had to remain operational.

Contractor, Euro Resin
Solutions used RapidShield, a
UV-curable floor coating
system to meet the client’s
needs in a single solution.

RapidShield has zero VOC
and no solvents or odours
so the warehouse did not
have to be emptied and ERS
completed a section and
handed it back at the end
of each shift.
