           Applications of ISOMAT epoxy floorings   23




1   EPOXY FLOORING SYSTEMS
Reaction resin flooring systems are thin layers of epoxy or polyurethane
resins, which, after hardening, acquire high mechanical strength and
outstanding chemical resistance. They can be applied to both new and old
floors, in areas that are exposed to great mechanical or chemical wear.
Epoxy floorings demonstrate excellent durability in time, keeping
simultaneously the maintenance cost at the minimum. Furthermore, they
form a smooth, durable, non-absorbent and easy-to-clean final surface.

Considering the market requirements for floorings of high strength and
excellent level of aesthetics, ISOMAT based on its long-standing
experience has developed a complete range of epoxy and polyurethane
flooring systems that fulfill all modern design requirements. Besides that,
ISOMAT offers the necessary technical know-how and solutions to any
industrial flooring problem.




                                                                     EPOXY FLOORING SYSTEMS   2
BASIC PROPERTIES OF EPOXY FLOORINGS
    HIGH MECHANICAL STRENGTH
    Epoxy floorings are extremely resistant to mechanical wear, such as in areas with increased traffic loadings
    (industrial production sites and storage facilities, small industries, parking sites, hotels, shopping malls etc.).
    They are characterized by:
        Increased resistance to abrasion, as to avoid dusting and wearing out.
        Excellent compressive strength.
        High adhesion to the substrate, as to avoid delamination.
        Major punctual hardness, as to avoid incising.

    EXCELLENT CHEMICAL RESISTANCE, EASY-TO-CLEAN
    Epoxy floorings are non-absorbent, easy-to-clean layers that demonstrate exceptional chemical resistance.
    Therefore, they are suitable for use in production facilities, slaughterhouses, gas stations, car repair shops etc.
    They prove resistance to:
       Dilutions of organic and inorganic acids.
       Solvents, alkalis, salts, petrochemical products, lubricants, aggressive cleaning agents etc.

    CE MARKING
    Epoxy floorings of ISOMAT are certified with the CE marking according to the european standard EN 13813.


    COST-EFFICIENT FLOOR RESTORATION
    Epoxy floorings are a more cost-efficient solution comparing with other recommended alternatives for floor restoration,
    as they are easy-to-apply and can be walked on, shortly after application. Additionally, their ability to endure is longer when
    comparing with other floor construction alternatives.




    ADDITIONAL PROPERTIES
    SMOOTH OR NON-SLIP SURFACE FINISH
    A non-slip surface finish with different levels of slip resistance can be formed through a specific laying technique apart
    from the smooth finish, in areas where there is a high risk of slipping (industrial production facilities, ramps etc.).


    ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY
    In areas there is an increasing demand to prevent the negative impact of the static electricity, such as computer rooms,
    printing houses, textile factories, hospitals, gas stations, power stations, ammunition stores etc. the installment of
    conductive epoxy flooring systems is recommended.

    APPLICATION ON PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT SUBSTRATES
    Epoxy floorings are usually applied to clean and dry cementitious substrates that are at least 28 days old. However, by
    using adequate primers, they can be also applied to surfaces that are only 7 days old or appear to have rising
    moisture/damp problems. Moreover epoxy floorings can be installed to substrates that are contaminated with oil, provided
    that these surfaces have been previously treated chemically by special cleaning agents.


    HYGIENE, EASY-TO-CLEAN
    The epoxy flooring systems of ISOMAT have been certified for their suitability for use in food process and food storage
    facilities, freezers, and hospitals etc., where the decision for a proper floor covering is determined by strict hygienic
    requirements. Furthermore, due to their smooth surface finish, they can be cleaned fast and easy.


3   EPOXY FLOORING SYSTEMS
RAPID CURING - QUICK USE
The required time for the installment of an epoxy flooring system is particular short and depends on the substrate's
condition and the type of the epoxy flooring that shall be applied. The applied flooring system, depending on the prevailing
temperature conditions, may be walked on, already the following day upon completion of the laying works, while it can be
exposed to maximum loading in a seven days time.


SELECTION OF THE DESIRED COLOR
The epoxy floorings are produced in a variety of colors so to meet the aesthetics' criteria of each customer and fulfill also
the utility requirements of the construction site (e.g. possibility of floor marking and floor lining).




BASIC PROPERTIES OF POLYURETHANE FLOORINGS
RESISTANCE TO SOLAR RADIATION
The polyurethane floorings have an excellent resistance to solar radiation (UV).


HIGH MECHANICAL STRENGTH AND ELASTICITY
Polyurethane floorings offer high strength, abrasion resistance and they are used to areas that require high elasticity.
Therefore, they are ideal for refrigerators and freezer rooms, industrial areas, warehouses, laboratories, hospitals, wine
factories, slaughter-houses, canned food factories, car workshops etc.


EXCELLENT CHEMICAL RESISTANCE, EASY-TO-CLEAN
Polyurethane floorings are non-absorbent, easy-to-clean and demonstrate exceptional chemical resistance to:
    Dilutions of organic and inorganic acids.
    Alkalis, petrochemical products, specific solvents, wastes, water, sea water and weather conditions.


RESISTANCE TO LOW AND HIGH TEMPERATURE
Epoxy floorings have been exposed to extreme weather conditions without abolishing their properties, if the temperature
changes gradually. They can be applied both to areas with low and high temperature (e.g. freezers and industrial
production facilities).


                                                                                                EPOXY FLOORING SYSTEMS          4
INSTALLATION PROCESS OF THE EPOXY FLOORING SYSTEMS
    4-STEP INSTALLMENT
     1       Substrate preparation
     2       Substrate priming
     3       Filling up substrate irregularities
     4       Final coating/sealing
    In every step of the installation process it is important to use the proper tools and materials and to have good knowledge
    of all construction details, for ensuring a sound construction solution.


       1        SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
    The successful installation of an epoxy flooring system starts with the proper preparation of the substrate. The substrate
    (industrial floor, concrete slab, cementitious screed, mosaic floor) must be free of residues that prevent bonding of the
    flooring layer to the substrate (such as dust, loose particles, grease etc.), dry (moisture content < 4%) and sound with
    sufficient strength.

    Moisture content determination
    Measuring the moisture content of the concrete substrate is essential in order to decide for the adequate primer. Concrete
    floors that are 28 days old usually have moisture content less than 4%. However, when the concrete is relatively fresh or
    exposed to rising moisture, then it may not be free of excess moisture. Therefore it is recommended to determine the
    moisture content before any application either by use of an electronic moisture meter or by the following procedure
    described below:




    First, a small sample of the substrate is taken for testing.            Thereafter, the sample is being weighed and crumbled.




    Subsequently, the sample is put into the moisture meter                 The moisture meter is sealed properly and shacked for
    together with all necessary reagents.                                   5 minutes, where, after approx. 10 minutes, the moisture
                                                                            content percentage of the concrete substrate is indicated.



5   EPOXY FLOORING SYSTEMS
Substrate grinding
The concrete substrate must be prepared properly by rubbing, pellet blasting, grinding etc. in order to remove cement
laitance and achieve an open textured surface, thus helping the primer penetrate deeper into the pores to induce
increased anchoring and bonding of the upcoming epoxy layer to the substrate, while reaching also sufficient surface
leveling. Subsequently, all dust and loose particles should be thoroughly removed by a high suction vacuum cleaner.




Grinding the surface with a mosaic machine.   Grinding the surface by pellet blasting.   Treatment residues and dust are cleaned up
                                                                                         with a high suction vacuum cleaner.




Substrates contaminated with oil
Surfaces contaminated with oil require thorough cleaning before being laid with
epoxy floorings. At first, the floor is cleaned from the superficial dirt by hot water
blasting. Then it is rubbed by pellet blasting in order to reach an open textured
surface.
Subsequently, the industrial cleaning agent FD-CLEAN is spread onto the surface
and rubbed diligently with a hard brush, thus enabling the material to penetrate
into the floor pores and emulsify the oil.
After 30 minutes the emulsified oil is removed by hot water blasting. Thereafter,
the floor should be primed directly with a special primer before the oil rises to the
floor surface again.




                                                                                         Hot water blasting to remove the oil from the
                                                                                         floor.



Metal substrates
Metal substrates (e.g. lofts) which shall be covered by epoxy coatings must be
free of rust and any type of erosion to ensure good bonding. The treatment of
these substrates shall be done by sand blasting. Thereafter, the surface should be
cleaned thoroughly with a high suction vacuum cleaner.




                                                                                         Sand blasting onto the metal substrate for the
                                                                                         rust removal.


                                                                                                  EPOXY FLOORING SYSTEMS                  6
2       SUBSTRATE PRIMING
    Priming shall take place on the thoroughly prepared surface to ensure the proper bonding of the subsequent flooring.
    ISOMAT offers a wide range of primers, both solvent-based and solvent-free, dealing with all possible kinds of substrates
    (cementitious or metal substrates, green concrete, cementitious substrates with rising moisture or contaminated with oil).
    During application the primer penetrates and anchors in the pores of the substrate, thus stabilizing the substrate and
    acting as a bond layer between the substrate and the final coating.




    Epoxy primers
      DUROPRIMER
      2-component epoxy primer with solvents
      Cement-based substrates (industrial floors, concrete, cement-mortar, mosaic) are primed with the 2-
      component epoxy primer DUROPRIMER. Due to solvents, the primer penetrates deeply into the
      substrate providing excellent anchoring. The surface must be clean, dry and protected from rising
      moisture. The whole quantity of component B is added into component A. The 2 components are
      thoroughly mixed with a low speed electric stirrer (300 rpm). DUROPRIMER is applied by roller, brush or
                                                              2
      spray in one layer, with consumption of 200-300 g/m depending on the substrate’s absorbency. The
      installation of the selected epoxy system follows within 24 hours after priming and when this has dried.

3         FILLING UP SURFACE IRREGULARITIES
    After the primer has dried and before applying the final epoxy or polyurethane flooring, any existing substrate
    imperfections (cracks, holes etc.) shall be filled up in order to achieve a smooth and continuous surface. Especially in cases
    where the selected reaction resin flooring shall be installed in a thin layer (DUROFLOOR-R), the filling up of the surface
    irregularities is important for providing a smooth substrate.
    Patching and filling up of surface irregularities can take place with the ready-to-use epoxy putties EPOMAX-EK and
    EPOMAX-STUCCO especially when the area of application is limited, or by preparing a resin mortar (mixing of epoxy resin
    with quartz sand of particle size 0-0.4 mm). The reaction resin flooring shall be applied after the leveling material has
    hardened and within the time limits that are set for each type of primer (page 7-8).

  Components A (resin) and B (hardener) are packed in two separate
  packages that have the predetermined mixing proportion by weight. The
  whole quantity of component B is added into component A. Mixing of the
  2 components should take place for about 5 minutes using a low speed
  electric stirrer (300 rpm). It is important to stir the mixture thoroughly near
  the sides and the bottom of the pot, in order to achieve homogenous
  dispersion of the hardener. Hereupon, quartz sand with a particle size of
  0-0.4 mm (or Q35) is gradually added into the mixture under continuous               Subsequently, the resin-mortar is poured
  stirring, in proportion 1:2 by weight until a uniform epoxy mortar is formed.               onto the primed surface.

      to the predetermined mixing proportion by weight. The whole quantity of                         is poured onto the primed substrate.
      component B is added into component A. Mixing of the 2 components should take
      place for about 5 minutes, using a low speed electric stirrer (300 rpm). It is
      important to stir the mixture thoroughly near the sides and the bottom of the
      container in order to achieve uniform dispersion of the hardener.

      Within 24 hours, and after the first layer of DUROFLOOR-R has dried, the second layer follows applied by the same method.
      Consumption of DUROFLOOR-R is 250-300 g/m2 per layer. Due to the fluidity of the product, in case of installing DUROFLOOR-R onto
      inclined or vertical surfaces (e.g. stairways, ramps, base boards etc.), a thickening agent should be added in percentage 2% by weight,
      in order to increase the thixotropy of DUROFLOOR-R.

SLIP RESISTANCE

     Slip-resistant surface finish
     After hardening, epoxy and polyurethane floorings provide a smooth surface finish of R9 slip resistance, suitable for
     ordinary use. In applications where there is high danger of slipping and thus the slip resistance is requested to be higher
     than R9, it is possible to form an adequate slip-resistant surface finish.
     Primarily, the first layer of the epoxy flooring is applied and then quartz sand is broadcasted until saturation on the still
     fresh layer. After hardening of the layer, any loose grains are removed using a high suction vacuum cleaner. Finally, a
     sealing layer of DUROFLOOR (A+B), DUROFLOOR-R, DUROFLOOR 11 or DUROFLOOR-PU is applied with a roller. The slip
     resistance of the floor surface depends on the particle size of the quartz sand that has been used and the density of
     spreading.

Slip resistance
The slip resistance level of a floor should be selected carefully taking into consideration both the danger of slipping
according to the specific site conditions and the effort in maintaining cleanliness and hygiene. The greater the
granulometry of quartz sand, the greater the slip resistance, but cleaning and hygiene requirements become more difficult
to maintain.


                                                                                 R9                        R10

The desired level of slip resistance depends both on the particle size of the quartz sand and the density of spreading.
In the following table the consumption of the sealing layer is presented in relation to the desirable level of slip resistance.

                                     weight proportions.




     DUROFLOOR-CV Conductive epoxy varnish (primer)
                                     DUROFLOOR-CV is a 2-component, colored epoxy system with solvents. It offers strong
                                     bonding to the substrate and high conductivity that prevents the build-up of static electricity
                                                                                                  4
                                     on floor surfaces. Its electrical resistance is lower than 10 Ohm.

                                     DUROFLOOR-CV is used as an intermediate layer, below the epoxy flooring DUROFLOOR-C,
                                     to generate uniform conductivity on the whole floor surface.
                                     It is classified as SR-B2,0 according to EN 13813.
                                     It is supplied in packages (A+B) of 8 kg, with components A and B having predetermined
                                     weight proportions.




     APPLICATION
      Components A (resin) and B (hardener) of DUROFLOOR-C and DUROFLOOR-CV are packed in two separate containers (pots)
      according to the predetermined mixing proportion by weight. The whole quantity of component B is added into component A. Mixing of
      the 2 components should take place for about 5 minutes, using a low speed electric stirrer mixer (300 rpm). It is important to stir
      thoroughly the mixture near the sides and the bottom of the container in order to achieve uniform dispersion of the hardener.




      After hardening of the primer, special self-adhesive copper bands (conductors) should be installed on the floor in a grid formation of at
      least 5 m x 5 m connected with a closing circumferential cable. Then, an appropriate point of the circumferential cable of the grid
      formation is selected and connected to the ground. For safety reasons it is recommended to form two ground points. Afterwards, the
      primed surface is coated with DUROFLOOR-CV, which is applied by roller in a thin layer to cover the copper bands. (Consumption:
      approx. 200 g/m2).



19   EPOXY FLOORING SYSTEMS
In order to confirm that the required level of conductivity has been accomplished the measuring of the electrical resistance is
  recommended. The laying of DUROFLOOR-C should follow within 24 hours after the installment of DUROFLOOR-CV and when this
  has dried. DUROFLOOR-C is spread on the floor using a smooth trowel to a thickness of approx. 2 mm, at a consumption of approx.
  1.5 kg/m2/mm. The self-leveling layer should be rolled on with a special spiked roller, to avoid the formation of bubbles by helping the
  entrapped air to escape. The use of spiked shoes during this process is necessary. Due to its low viscosity, the mixture is self-leveling,
  providing a smooth final surface.

         FLOOR SURFACE HARDENING
DUROFLOOR-BI Transparent epoxy impregnation
                              The mechanical properties on the surface of cement-based floors (industrial floors,
                              concrete slabs, screeds, mosaic) can be improved cost-efficient with the use of the
                              2-component transparent epoxy impregnation DUROFLOOR-BI.

                              DUROFLOOR-BI is a 2-component, transparent epoxy system with solvents. Due to its low
                              viscosity and its great fluidity, it can penetrate deep into the substrate by filling pores and
                              capillaries.


Therewith the impregnated surfaces become sound and durable, and particularly resistant to abrasion, chemicals and
frost. Additionally, they prove enhanced resistance to wastes, mineral oils and petroleum products.
DUROFLOOR-BI is suitable for floors in parking lots, warehouses, laboratories, industries, gas stations, car repair shops etc.
It is classified as SR-B2,0 according to EN 13813.
It is supplied in packages (A+B) of 4 kg and 10 kg, with components A and B having the predetermined weight proportion.



APPLICATION
  In cases where the floor has to be leveled and the weak outer surface
  layer to be removed, the substrate must be mechanically rubbed (e.g.
  with a mosaic machine).
  Components A (resin) and B (hardener) of DUROFLOOR-BI are packed
  in two separate containers (pots), having the correct predetermined
  mixing proportion by weight. The whole quantity of component B is
  added into component A. Mixing of the 2 components should take
  place for about 5 minutes, using a low speed electric stirrer (300 rpm).
  DUROFLOOR-BI is applied by brush, roller or spray in 1-2 layers,
  according to the substrate's absorbency. The second layer of the
  impregnation follows 15 min after the first one has been applied.
                              2
  Consumption: 150-250 g/m /layer.

  • 3. Reaction resin flooring systems are thin layers of epoxy or polyurethane resins, which, after hardening, acquire high mechanical strength and outstanding chemical resistance. They can be applied to both new and old floors, in areas that are exposed to great mechanical or chemical wear. Epoxy floorings demonstrate excellent durability in time, keeping simultaneously the maintenance cost at the minimum. Furthermore, they form a smooth, durable, non-absorbent and easy-to-clean final surface. Considering the market requirements for floorings of high strength and excellent level of aesthetics, ISOMAT based on its long-standing experience has developed a complete range of epoxy and polyurethane flooring systems that fulfill all modern design requirements. Besides that, ISOMAT offers the necessary technical know-how and solutions to any industrial flooring problem. EPOXY FLOORING SYSTEMS 2
  • 4. BASIC PROPERTIES OF EPOXY FLOORINGS HIGH MECHANICAL STRENGTH Epoxy floorings are extremely resistant to mechanical wear, such as in areas with increased traffic loadings (industrial production sites and storage facilities, small industries, parking sites, hotels, shopping malls etc.). They are characterized by: Increased resistance to abrasion, as to avoid dusting and wearing out. Excellent compressive strength. High adhesion to the substrate, as to avoid delamination. Major punctual hardness, as to avoid incising. EXCELLENT CHEMICAL RESISTANCE, EASY-TO-CLEAN Epoxy floorings are non-absorbent, easy-to-clean layers that demonstrate exceptional chemical resistance. Therefore, they are suitable for use in production facilities, slaughterhouses, gas stations, car repair shops etc. They prove resistance to: Dilutions of organic and inorganic acids. Solvents, alkalis, salts, petrochemical products, lubricants, aggressive cleaning agents etc. CE MARKING Epoxy floorings of ISOMAT are certified with the CE marking according to the european standard EN 13813. COST-EFFICIENT FLOOR RESTORATION Epoxy floorings are a more cost-efficient solution comparing with other recommended alternatives for floor restoration, as they are easy-to-apply and can be walked on, shortly after application. Additionally, their ability to endure is longer when comparing with other floor construction alternatives. ADDITIONAL PROPERTIES SMOOTH OR NON-SLIP SURFACE FINISH A non-slip surface finish with different levels of slip resistance can be formed through a specific laying technique apart from the smooth finish, in areas where there is a high risk of slipping (industrial production facilities, ramps etc.). ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY In areas there is an increasing demand to prevent the negative impact of the static electricity, such as computer rooms, printing houses, textile factories, hospitals, gas stations, power stations, ammunition stores etc. the installment of conductive epoxy flooring systems is recommended. APPLICATION ON PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT SUBSTRATES Epoxy floorings are usually applied to clean and dry cementitious substrates that are at least 28 days old. However, by using adequate primers, they can be also applied to surfaces that are only 7 days old or appear to have rising moisture/damp problems. Moreover epoxy floorings can be installed to substrates that are contaminated with oil, provided that these surfaces have been previously treated chemically by special cleaning agents. HYGIENE, EASY-TO-CLEAN The epoxy flooring systems of ISOMAT have been certified for their suitability for use in food process and food storage facilities, freezers, and hospitals etc., where the decision for a proper floor covering is determined by strict hygienic requirements. Furthermore, due to their smooth surface finish, they can be cleaned fast and easy. 3 EPOXY FLOORING SYSTEMS
  • 5. RAPID CURING - QUICK USE The required time for the installment of an epoxy flooring system is particular short and depends on the substrate's condition and the type of the epoxy flooring that shall be applied. The applied flooring system, depending on the prevailing temperature conditions, may be walked on, already the following day upon completion of the laying works, while it can be exposed to maximum loading in a seven days time. SELECTION OF THE DESIRED COLOR The epoxy floorings are produced in a variety of colors so to meet the aesthetics' criteria of each customer and fulfill also the utility requirements of the construction site (e.g. possibility of floor marking and floor lining). BASIC PROPERTIES OF POLYURETHANE FLOORINGS RESISTANCE TO SOLAR RADIATION The polyurethane floorings have an excellent resistance to solar radiation (UV). HIGH MECHANICAL STRENGTH AND ELASTICITY Polyurethane floorings offer high strength, abrasion resistance and they are used to areas that require high elasticity. Therefore, they are ideal for refrigerators and freezer rooms, industrial areas, warehouses, laboratories, hospitals, wine factories, slaughter-houses, canned food factories, car workshops etc. EXCELLENT CHEMICAL RESISTANCE, EASY-TO-CLEAN Polyurethane floorings are non-absorbent, easy-to-clean and demonstrate exceptional chemical resistance to: Dilutions of organic and inorganic acids. Alkalis, petrochemical products, specific solvents, wastes, water, sea water and weather conditions. RESISTANCE TO LOW AND HIGH TEMPERATURE Epoxy floorings have been exposed to extreme weather conditions without abolishing their properties, if the temperature changes gradually. They can be applied both to areas with low and high temperature (e.g. freezers and industrial production facilities). EPOXY FLOORING SYSTEMS 4
  • 6. INSTALLATION PROCESS OF THE EPOXY FLOORING SYSTEMS 4-STEP INSTALLMENT 1 Substrate preparation 2 Substrate priming 3 Filling up substrate irregularities 4 Final coating/sealing In every step of the installation process it is important to use the proper tools and materials and to have good knowledge of all construction details, for ensuring a sound construction solution. 1 SUBSTRATE PREPARATION The successful installation of an epoxy flooring system starts with the proper preparation of the substrate. The substrate (industrial floor, concrete slab, cementitious screed, mosaic floor) must be free of residues that prevent bonding of the flooring layer to the substrate (such as dust, loose particles, grease etc.), dry (moisture content < 4%) and sound with sufficient strength. Moisture content determination Measuring the moisture content of the concrete substrate is essential in order to decide for the adequate primer. Concrete floors that are 28 days old usually have moisture content less than 4%. However, when the concrete is relatively fresh or exposed to rising moisture, then it may not be free of excess moisture. Therefore it is recommended to determine the moisture content before any application either by use of an electronic moisture meter or by the following procedure described below: First, a small sample of the substrate is taken for testing. Thereafter, the sample is being weighed and crumbled. Subsequently, the sample is put into the moisture meter The moisture meter is sealed properly and shacked for together with all necessary reagents. 5 minutes, where, after approx. 10 minutes, the moisture content percentage of the concrete substrate is indicated. 5 EPOXY FLOORING SYSTEMS
  • 7. Substrate grinding The concrete substrate must be prepared properly by rubbing, pellet blasting, grinding etc. in order to remove cement laitance and achieve an open textured surface, thus helping the primer penetrate deeper into the pores to induce increased anchoring and bonding of the upcoming epoxy layer to the substrate, while reaching also sufficient surface leveling. Subsequently, all dust and loose particles should be thoroughly removed by a high suction vacuum cleaner. Grinding the surface with a mosaic machine. Grinding the surface by pellet blasting. Treatment residues and dust are cleaned up with a high suction vacuum cleaner. Substrates contaminated with oil Surfaces contaminated with oil require thorough cleaning before being laid with epoxy floorings. At first, the floor is cleaned from the superficial dirt by hot water blasting. Then it is rubbed by pellet blasting in order to reach an open textured surface. Subsequently, the industrial cleaning agent FD-CLEAN is spread onto the surface and rubbed diligently with a hard brush, thus enabling the material to penetrate into the floor pores and emulsify the oil. After 30 minutes the emulsified oil is removed by hot water blasting. Thereafter, the floor should be primed directly with a special primer before the oil rises to the floor surface again. Hot water blasting to remove the oil from the floor. Metal substrates Metal substrates (e.g. lofts) which shall be covered by epoxy coatings must be free of rust and any type of erosion to ensure good bonding. The treatment of these substrates shall be done by sand blasting. Thereafter, the surface should be cleaned thoroughly with a high suction vacuum cleaner. Sand blasting onto the metal substrate for the rust removal. EPOXY FLOORING SYSTEMS 6

In applications where there is high danger of slipping and thus the slip resistance is requested to be higher than R9, it is possible to form an adequate slip-resistant surface finish. Primarily, the first layer of the epoxy flooring is applied and then quartz sand is broadcasted until saturation on the still fresh layer. After hardening of the layer, any loose grains are removed using a high suction vacuum cleaner. Finally, a sealing layer of DUROFLOOR (A+B), DUROFLOOR-R, DUROFLOOR 11 or DUROFLOOR-PU is applied with a roller. The slip resistance of the floor surface depends on the particle size of the quartz sand that has been used and the density of spreading.

  • 20. CONDUCTIVE SELF-LEVELING EPOXY FLOORING SYSTEM DUROFLOOR-C Conductive self-leveling epoxy flooring DUROFLOOR-C is a 2-component, solvent-free, colored epoxy system. It offers permanent conductivity that prevents the build-up of static electricity on floor surfaces. Its electrical 4 6 resistance is between 10 and 10 Ohm. DUROFLOOR-C provides high traffic and mechanical wear. It is resistant to organic and inorganic acids, alkalis, petroleum products, certain solvents, waste materials, water, and sea water and to weathering. DUROFLOOR-C is used as a pourable, self-leveling coating on cement-based floors, in areas where static electricity should be avoided. It is suitable for use in computer rooms, laboratories, printing rooms, textile mills, hospitals, gas stations, electric distribution stations, ammunition storages etc. It is classified as SR-B2,0-AR0,5-IR4 according to EN 13813. It is supplied in packages (A+B) of 10 kg, with components A and B having predetermined weight proportions. DUROFLOOR-CV Conductive epoxy varnish (primer) DUROFLOOR-CV is a 2-component, colored epoxy system with solvents. It offers strong bonding to the substrate and high conductivity that prevents the build-up of static electricity 4 on floor surfaces. Its electrical resistance is lower than 10 Ohm. DUROFLOOR-CV is used as an intermediate layer, below the epoxy flooring DUROFLOOR-C, to generate uniform conductivity on the whole floor surface. It is classified as SR-B2,0 according to EN 13813. It is supplied in packages (A+B) of 8 kg, with components A and B having predetermined weight proportions. APPLICATION Components A (resin) and B (hardener) of DUROFLOOR-C and DUROFLOOR-CV are packed in two separate containers (pots) according to the predetermined mixing proportion by weight. The whole quantity of component B is added into component A. Mixing of the 2 components should take place for about 5 minutes, using a low speed electric stirrer mixer (300 rpm). It is important to stir thoroughly the mixture near the sides and the bottom of the container in order to achieve uniform dispersion of the hardener. After hardening of the primer, special self-adhesive copper bands (conductors) should be installed on the floor in a grid formation of at least 5 m x 5 m connected with a closing circumferential cable. Then, an appropriate point of the circumferential cable of the grid formation is selected and connected to the ground. For safety reasons it is recommended to form two ground points. Afterwards, the primed surface is coated with DUROFLOOR-CV, which is applied by roller in a thin layer to cover the copper bands. (Consumption: approx. 200 g/m2). 19 EPOXY FLOORING SYSTEMS
  • 21. In order to confirm that the required level of conductivity has been accomplished the measuring of the electrical resistance is recommended. The laying of DUROFLOOR-C should follow within 24 hours after the installment of DUROFLOOR-CV and when this has dried. DUROFLOOR-C is spread on the floor using a smooth trowel to a thickness of approx. 2 mm, at a consumption of approx. 1.5 kg/m2/mm. The self-leveling layer should be rolled on with a special spiked roller, to avoid the formation of bubbles by helping the entrapped air to escape. The use of spiked shoes during this process is necessary. Due to its low viscosity, the mixture is self-leveling, providing a smooth final surface.

FLOOR SURFACE HARDENING DUROFLOOR-BI Transparent epoxy impregnation The mechanical properties on the surface of cement-based floors (industrial floors, concrete slabs, screeds, mosaic) can be improved cost-efficient with the use of the 2-component transparent epoxy impregnation DUROFLOOR-BI. DUROFLOOR-BI is a 2-component, transparent epoxy system with solvents. Due to its low viscosity and its great fluidity, it can penetrate deep into the substrate by filling pores and capillaries. Therewith the impregnated surfaces become sound and durable, and particularly resistant to abrasion, chemicals and frost. Additionally, they prove enhanced resistance to wastes, mineral oils and petroleum products. DUROFLOOR-BI is suitable for floors in parking lots, warehouses, laboratories, industries, gas stations, car repair shops etc. It is classified as SR-B2,0 according to EN 13813. It is supplied in packages (A+B) of 4 kg and 10 kg, with components A and B having the predetermined weight proportion. APPLICATION In cases where the floor has to be leveled and the weak outer surface layer to be removed, the substrate must be mechanically rubbed (e.g. with a mosaic machine). Components A (resin) and B (hardener) of DUROFLOOR-BI are packed in two separate containers (pots), having the correct predetermined mixing proportion by weight. The whole quantity of component B is added into component A. Mixing of the 2 components should take place for about 5 minutes, using a low speed electric stirrer (300 rpm). DUROFLOOR-BI is applied by brush, roller or spray in 1-2 layers, according to the substrate's absorbency. The second layer of the impregnation follows 15 min after the first one has been applied. 2 Consumption: 150-250 g/m /layer. “convenient, effective, simple & fast” EPOXY FLOORING SYSTEMS 22
