About Protectocoat Duraepfloor ESL
Protectocoat Duraepfloor ESL - A is a low viscosity, Bisphenol-A based crystallization free resin modified for attractive processing properties.
Protectocoat Duraepfloor ESL - B is a versatile low viscosity modified cycloaliphatic polyamine suitable for all types of floorings, multilayer, self-leveling, mortars, in moderate to warm climates, protective and decorative coatings, chemical resistant & anti-corrosion coatings and floorings, extremely low viscous, color stable and good surface aspect.
Floors are the most highly stressed areas among all parts of any building. They are subjected to severe mechanical stress and often to thermal stress and chemical attack. Flooring compositions based on the above system withstand all these and in addition are easier and economical to lay and maintain.
Properties
- Highly penetrative due to low viscosity system
- Excellent chemical and abrasion resistance
- Very good adhesion and mechanical properties
- Smooth, High gloss finish and non-tacky cured films
High-Performance Industrial FlooringProtectocoat Duraepfloor ESL is designed to withstand heavy traffic, harsh chemicals, oils, and mild acids, making it ideal for industrial and commercial environments. Its superior compressive and bond strengths ensure longevity on warehouse floors, pharmaceutical facilities, and food processing areas, providing efficient and reliable protection against wear and damage.
Rapid Application and CuringThis epoxy-based self-leveling flooring offers a fast pot life of 30 minutes at 30C and cures initially in 24 hours, with full strength achieved after 7 days. It is easy to mix (base : hardener = 2 : 1 by weight) and can be installed using a trowel or notch trowel, streamlining the process for service providers and ensuring minimal downtime during flooring upgrades.
Chemical Resistance and HygieneProtectocoat Duraepfloor ESL acts as a barrier against a wide range of chemicals, making it highly appropriate for pharmaceutical and food processing areas. Its seamless, glossy finish is not only visually appealing but also easy to clean, contributing significantly to workplace hygiene and safety.
