2 component epoxy resin – also known as 2K epoxy resin – forms the base of many floor solutions. In fact, our epoxies are always a 2-component binder system, consisting of a resin and a hardener. This combination is an excellent base for both transparent and colored epoxy systems for floors and walls. It is therefore not surprising that this resin is known world-wide as an all-rounder. In this article you can read what role 2 components epoxy resins play within epoxy systems.
Use of 2 component epoxy resin
The fact that 2-component epoxy resins are versatile is demonstrated by their extensive use within flooring systems. They act as:
- Transparent sealing or protection of the underlying layer;
- Pouring mortar under (heavy) structures and / or machines. The epoxy resin here acts as a finishing layer for the supporting structure and strengthens the substrate;
- Component for gluing or repair work;
- Binder for all types of resin floors.
The base of many floor systems
There can be no doubt that 2 component epoxy resin forms the base of many coatings, sealers and flooring systems. An overview of the options:
- Coatings and sealers based on 2 component epoxy resin:
- 100% solid epoxy coating in color;
- Waterborne epoxy coating in color;
- Waterborne epoxy coating for floor and wall;
- Waterborne epoxy coating for lines and marking;
- Waterborne epoxy coating with a transparent matte finish;
- Transparent epoxy sealer.
- Flooring systems based on 2 component epoxy resin:
- Epoxy trowel floor;
- 2-component epoxy self-leveling floor;
- Flexible 2-component epoxy self-leveling floor;
- Conductive 2-component epoxy self-leveling floor (ESD-floor);
- Epoxy broadcast floor with natural or colored quartz sand.
Advantages 2 component epoxy resin from HIM
The 2-component epoxy resin from HIM excels in forceful characteristics:
- High chemical resistance. Floor coatings and systems based on our 2 component epoxy resin can withstand a multitude of chemicals, including mineral oils and fats, cleaning agents, diluted mineral acids, alkalis and a number of hydrocarbons.
- Available in almost every colour. Our floors and floor solutions are developed and manufactured with a quality that you normally expect from lacquers. The floors flow perfectly, forming a dense impermeable substrate.
- Solvent free. Labor conditions are also taken into consideration. The 2-component epoxy resin has a good penetration of and adhesion to the substrate, making solvents unnecessary and no unpleasant smell during application.
- Easy to apply. 2 component epoxy resin has a smooth consistency with a good flow before curing and is therefore easy to apply.
- High pressure, impact and wear resistance. Heavy duty floors require a robust and durable floor system. Pieces and parts of equipment falling on the floor doesn’t mean instant floor damage. The floors can withstand the heaviest loads of machines and / or vehicles.
- Manufactured in accordance with specifications. All HIM products are subject to a strict test regime. Each batch is thoroughly inspected in our own laboratory prior to shipment, to ensure that our products meet the highest quality standards and product characteristics.
