SALVIACIM®

INDUSTRIAL FLOORING

industries are using more and more sophisticated and demanding processes and equipment to

ensure high quality production under the best possible conditions of safety, strength and comfort.

They are therefore increasingly installing high-quality flooring designed to support their equipment

and withstand very heavy loads.

To enable these floors to bear the wide variety of stresses to which they are subjected (mechanical

stresses, heavy loads, channelled traffic, etc.), Eurovia provides a process that combines the

qualities of flexible bituminous mixes and those of rigid cement concretes: Salviacim®.

KEY BENEFITS

An incombustible material classified M0 in the CSTB fire

A skid-resistant, comfortable and low-noise traffic surfacing

Maximum safety for all types of machines

High thermal, chemical and mechanical resistance

KEY FEATURES

Static shear resistance of 7 to 10MPa

Strong resistance to thermal shock

Over 40 yearsof experience

The worl’s best-sellingproduct in its category

Several tens of millions of sq. metres

applied to date

The thicknesses of the various layers are calculated using a special structural design method that factors in the foreseeable dynamic and static stresses to which the structure will be subjected. Salviacim® is generally laid over a base course of road base asphalt or high-modulus asphalt mix. It can also be applied over cement bond aggregates treated with hydraulic binder.The open-graded hot mix is produced and laid in accordance with conventional road construction methods. The slurry is produced in a concrete batch plant or a special self-propelled mixer at the construction site. It is percolated into the hot mix by vibration.

The slurry can be batch-coloured for decorative or signalling purposes. Additional paint or synthetic resin coatings may be applied to provide colour, improved chemical resistance, increased dust resistance or appropriate surface roughness.

FOR RELIABLE AND DURABLE HARD SURFACES

Salviacim® is a jointless continuous surfacing that provides excellent safety for pneumatic or solid tyred handling equipment. Salviacim® is used to build and refurbish indoor and outdoor surfaces subject to high static and dynamic mechanical and/or thermal stresses:

> industrial and commercial warehouses and storage sites> storage and handling areas> HGV parking areas, aircraft parking areas> port facilities> tracks for track-laying vehicles> bus and pneumatic-tyred tram lanes and stops> train station platforms> multi-purpose halls (with additional surface treatment).

Over the last 40 years, Eurovia has covered several tens of millions of sq. metres of industrial and commercial flooring with Salviacim® in all sectors and all over the world.

KNOWN AND ACKNOWLEDGED PERFORMANCESalviacim® consists of an open-graded bituminous hot mix in which the voids are filled with a slurry made up of cement, mineral filler, synthetic resin and water. This slurry is percolated through the entire thickness of the hot mix.The complete structure is a monolithic complex with the characteristics of both a bituminous mix – flexibility, absence of joints – and those of a hydraulic binder based material – mechanical strength, resistance to chemicals, light colour.

Salviacim® withstands the effects of a wide variety of chemicals. The resistance to accidental spills of hydrocarbons can be increased by means of specific formulations. The use of special cements in the slurry confers increased resistance to acid products.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES

Salviacim® offers excellent shear and impact resistance as well as strong resistance to static shear failure and the stresses generated by rolling loads.

SHEAR FAILURE RESISTANCE

Salviacim® withstands static shear failure of between 7MPa and 10MPa, depending on the nature of the slurry.

Test conditions:

> load applied for 24 hours at a temperature of 20°C to a Salviacim® sample aged at least 28 days and placed on a non-deformable surface.

> admissible track depth : 1mm over 7 cm2
