CEMPROTEC E-FLOOR

Overview

Cemprotec E-Floor is a major advancement in flooring technology, incorporating the benefits of copolymer and epoxy resin technologies into a self smoothing, water based, cementitious system. This chemical combination gives a hard, durable 2mm thick coating with excellent resistance to abrasion, water, chloride ions and aggressive chemicals for the protection of concrete floors and decks subject to trafficking in the most demanding internal and external environments.

When mixed, Cemprotec E-Floor exhibits a high degree of flow to enable ease of application by pouring or pumping techniques to give a smooth surface coating. It hydrates rapidly to form a dense, hard wearing, durable coating, which exhibits both polymeric and resinous properties, ensuring low permeability to water and long term performance. Cemprotec E-Floor  can be reinforced withCemprotec 2000-S tape to accommodate movement over cracks and around joints where further movement is expected.

Advantages

• Pre-packaged material only requiring mixing on site.
• A unique blend of surfactants gives high flow to enable fast and easy application.
• Excellent abrasion and impact resistance. Resistant to a range of chemicals including hydrogen sulphide.
• Can be applied without risk of osmotic blistering to “green” concrete, wet substrates or floors with no effective waterproofing membrane.
• Excellent adhesion to dry or damp cementitious substrates.
• Hydrates to give high early strengths, enabling rapid reinstatement of traffic.
• Water based product, cures without the release of hazardous solvents. Equipment easily cleaned with water.
• Dense matrix offers low permeability to water, even at 10 bar positive and negative pressure, and very high diffusion resistance to chlorides and oxygen.
• Easily treated with resin coatings or overlayed with wood flooring, carpets or tiles.

Compliance

CE marked in accordance with BS EN 1504 Part 2. Compliant with LU Standard 1-085 ‘Fire Safety Performance of Materials’.
