Floor Compendium CAPAROL Building Protection Competence in floor coatings

Caparol floor coatings in industry and commerce In the long term no concrete floor or screed can take the stresses in industrial or commercial applications without the appropriate surface treatment. Caparol Building Protection offers a suitable coating to suit Modern production processes may demand, for example, chemical durability or special resistance to mechanical stresses. Added to this are the constraints to maintain occupa- tional safety and environmental protection as well as product-specific requirements, such as electrical conductance or foodstuff com- CAPAROL in the industrial...

Caparol floor coatings in industry and commerce From impregnation to sprinkle-finish coating The type and severity of the stresses which an industrial floor coating must sustain determine the selection of the materials and coating structures. Apart from the "standard structures" shown here, variations are also possible, e.g. with coating systems which have to fulfil special requirements. The most economical variants in the treatment of unfinished floors are im- An appropriately prepared substrate is important for all coatings. Whether a simple priming coat, a scratch coat, a mortar cove-...

Treatment of unfinished floors: Impregnation Transparent, low-viscosity epoxy resins. One or two coats (large format brush, impregnating brush or spraying) ■ economical, simple protective measure ■ does not form a film ■ deep penetration, strengthens the substrate ■ good diffusion properties Mechanical resilience* Sealing Water-thinnable, coloured epoxy resins, on impregnation. One or two roller applications. ■ thin-layered, economical protective measure ■ follows the substrate texture ■ 0.1–0.2 mm layer thickness Mechanical resilience* Levelling layer Polymer-modified, cement-bound,...

Caparol Caparol floor coatings in industry and commerce Coatings – preparation: Primer Transparent, hard epoxy resins. Application by flow coating under all coating structures. ■ sound bonding to substrate ■ closes up pores and capillaries ■ 0.2–0.3 mm layer thickness Scratch coat Transparent, hard epoxy resin with addition of fine silica sand. Drawn off sharply over the substrate with the smoothing trowel. ■ in addition to primer ■ to equalise unevenness and coarse surface roughness ■ 1–2 mm layer thickness Mortar coating Ready-made silica sand mixture and transparent epoxy resin as...

Coatings – basic structures: Roller coating Pigmented, hard to tough epoxy resins. One or two roller applications. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ on primer largely follows the substrate various surface textures possible smooth surface: 0.3–0.6 mm slip-resistant surface: 0.4–0.8 mm layer thickness Mechanical resilience* Self-levelling coating Pigmented, self-levelling, hard to tough epoxy resins or polyurethanes. Application with hard rubber wiper, deaeration with the spiked roller. ■ on pore-filling, sand-dressed primer ■ equalises slight surface roughness ■ 1–2 mm layer thickness Mechanical resilience*...

Caparol floor coatings in industry and commerce "Fundamental research" Which product Floor coatings protect and maintain floors optimally only when the particular properties (such as elasticity or diffusion behaviour) are matched to the substrate present on the construction site. Consequently, various products may be necessary in preparing for the coating: Each material group has properties which For example, as concrete and cement floors, must definitely be considered in the selection anhydrite and magnesite screeds need of coating systems - otherwise expensive coating materials with good...

In the Caparol range of coatings there are various primer products for optimum adaptation to different building conditions. The following markings show which of the quoted requirements is fulfilled by a coating screen floors suitable with restrictions for xylolite screeds - good diffusion suitable for hard asphalt screed,

Not every floor needs a complicated coating structure. Depending on the condition and the stresses to be expected, better usage properties can be achieved even with relatively simple coatings. Particularly on fresh concrete floors and screeds which are not completely dried out, Disbopox 443 EP-Imprägnierung impregnation is a practicable solution, because it is...
