Epoxy
resins are being used by the construction industry to an ever growing
extent in applications for which conventional matarials are only conditionally
suitable or not at all. Because of their many useful properties, they
can be used to formulate a wide range of products, e.g.
 |
Floor toppings
|
 |
Coatings
|
 |
Damp-proofing matarials
|
 |
Structural adhesives
|
 |
Injection matarials,etc.
|
The
ready-to-use, formulated products are supplied to the construction
industry by specialist firms like us who can also provide technical
advice to owners, architects, engineers and contractors.
Floor
toppings based on epoxy resins are exceptionally hard wearing, have
antiskid properties are non-dusting and easy to keep clean. They also
cure relatively rapidly and with almost negligible shrinkage, adhere
durably to a variety of substrates, show very good resistance to water
and chemical attack, and have high compressive and flexural strength.
This
combination of properties, coupled with economy of application and
maintenance, have resulted in the extensive use of Epoxy Resin based
floor toppings in large and small industrial buildings where heavy
duty floors are a major requirement, e.g.
Beverage, food and tobacco
processing plants
Textile and paper mills
Watch and optical instrument factories
Precision engineering workshops
Printing shops
Electrical and electronic engineering plants
Atomic energy installationg
Chemical plants
Foundries
Metal working facilities
Epoxy
Resin based floors, have also proved suitable for store rooms, garages,
aircraft hangers, loading ramps etc.
But also Epoxy Resins generally find application in industrial
floorings, they can also be used to formulate multicloured, decorative-effect
floors. These have been shown to be very suitable for
Entrance halls and corridors,
Offices and exhibition buildings,
Restaurants and canteens,
Kitchens and bathrooms.
