Why Partner with Acrylicon?
Our History
In the middle of the seventies, several studies showed that nearly everybody in manufacturing industries had the same requirements for a good flooring solution: It would have to be hygienic, easy to clean and maintain, nice looking, slip resistant and, of course, it should last for a long time. On the background of these studies, AcryliCon founder and current CEO Bjørn Hegstad started his research into how to create a resin flooring system which would meet all these requirements. In 1977, after several years of research, development and trials, the Acrylicon Decor System was born. It was created out of a need within the Norwegian food sector, especially the fish industry that required hard wearing floors that stood up to the stresses and strains of processing. AcryliCon was taken internationally in the mid 90’s by several multinational clients who wanted the same standard of flooring across all their worldwide facilities. We have grown to now have representation in the UK, Canada, America, Egypt and Middle East, the Caribbean, the USA, Ireland, Germany, Finland, Lithuania, Russia, Sweden, South Africa, the Republic of Korea and Thailand.
The creation of our modern production facility in Germany cemented our place on the world stage, providing high-quality research and development laboratories and an exceptional level of quality control. AcryliCon has developed to become an international company with many prestigious installations. Today we continue to expand across the world, wherever clients require solutions to their flooring problems.
Invented in Norway…made in Germany…installed worldwide!
Our Products
The products behind our floor and wall systems are at the cutting edge of technology. For over 40 years AcryliCon has been providing high quality, long lasting industrial flooring to clients from different market sectors.
AcryliCon started laying floors in 1977 and have since then continually improved our systems and laying techniques. It is a testament to the chemical composition of the flooring that our oldest jobs are still available to view. We offer fantastic value for money, with many of our customers carrying out little or no maintenance over the first 15 years. As one customer said, “It’s realistic to believe in a longevity of 30-40 years”.
AcryliCon resins are thermoplastics, which means they are reactive and achieve a chemical bond between each installation layer. This results in a monolithic system with virtually no risk of delamination. Each new layer (primer, body coat and sealer) chemically fuses to the previous layer, creating nearly an unbreakable bond. Acrylicon Systems can be easily repaired and quickly refurbished in the case of any mechanical damage. It can also be bonded directly to drainage channels, without the need of an expansion joint, which creates a weakness that is often the cause of future issues.
Our systems have an extremely high compressive strength because of the way the resins are uniquely formulated in production and with over 40 years of successful track record, we are confident that our compressive strength does not diminish with time. Some of our oldest references that are 20 or 30 years old show no significant signs of degradation, cracking or brittleness in full service, offering proof that the strength has not deteriorated with age. Acrylicon’s formulation and design ensures our floor systems maintain their physical properties over time, unlike many other resin flooring companies.
