DeLaval Plast Coating
Customers need surface protection solution in parlour, milkroom, feeding table, walls and drive-through silage storage box. The MMA Surface protection can be applied at nearly any weather conditions even when cold, with shortest working break down in the daily farming business.
DeLaval Plast gives safety to you and your cows by providing a non-slip, hard wearing surface. DeLaval Plast protects the surface from aggressive acids and detergents. It offers a hygienic environment that is resistant to high pressure cleaning and is easy to clean.
DeLaval Plast solutions include:
DeLaval Plast for parlours and rotaries, VMS, milk rooms, feeding tables, walls, office and changing rooms, food stuff storage rooms
DeLaval Plast comprises a primer, a two-component MMA binder and high quality quartz sand. This combination withstands daily mechanical and chemical attack on a dairy farm. The top coating gives a finish to surfaces that will remain non-slippery, even when wet. DeLaval Plast can be applied to new, old or damaged surfaces.
A hygienically smooth surface coated with DeLaval Plast, is easy to clean and disinfect. It also reduces falls, cuts, injuries and overall stress for you and your cows. It will give a seamless, attractive and professional finish to all your dairy’s surfaces.
Feed represents approximately 40 per cent of milk production costs. A feeding table is highly exposed to silage acids which will damages concrete surfaces. This forms a breeding ground for bacteria. DeLaval Plast protects the feed table to preserve feed quality and intake.
Animal welfare improvement resulting from the use of the solution
Safe walk by slip protection on floors in rotaries, parlour, VMS and milkroom
Feeding table coating compare to unprotected concrete surface results in:
Higher feed intake as a result of better feed quality. Positive impact to increase milk yield.
- Less feed wastage, as even the fine particles in mixed rations can be eaten right down
- Time savings thanks to faster push back and easier cleaning
- Less spores * = better milk price = higher income (*lab test DeLaval)
- Less germs and bacteria* = reduced risk for mastitis (*lab test DeLaval)
Properties of DeLaval Plast MMA resins:
- Very fast curing time in 1 hour even at low temperature
- NON-STOP application flow on all steps priming-base coat-top coat
- No time limit for next coating step, ready when cured
- High chemical resistance (acids, bases, oils, fat, gasoline, and many solvents)
- High weathering resistance (UV resistant)

Benefits
Super-fast curing with no disruption to operations, the exact degree of slip resistance required, processing even at very low temperatures, a selection of colour design options
- Shortest time interruption for the farmer, feeding table application from A-Z in 6 hours ready
- Fast curing - only 1 day work and curing time for MMA, compare to 7 days with Epoxi binder
- Not temperature sensitive as applications can be done at + 5°C level (low limit at 0 C°)
- Moisture insensitive during curing, no risk of carbonisation (white spots on surface)
- High chemical resistance against acids, bases, oils, fat, gasoline, and many solvents
- High weathering resistance also on heavy loads. Outside application possible (Flex floor)
- High UV resistant, low risk of yellowish surfaces as happen with epoxy binder
