The requirements for self-leveling flooring are straightforward: robust handling, good flow, strong adhesion. If it’s the top layer, aesthetics matter.
Hexion supplies a selection of proven EPON™ epoxy resins, EPIKURE™ curing agents and HELOXY™ modifiers at both “good” and “better” price points to meet customer needs. Curing agents can make all the difference, and our portfolio includes options to fulfill environmental requirements such as low VOC, waterborne and benzyl alcohol-free.
Our technical team will make sure you end up with all the necessary components for a complete self-leveling flooring system that’s right for your particular application.
As an alternative to Heloxy modifiers, Cardura E10P glycidyl ester, because of its low viscosity and low volatility, can also be used as reactive diluent for self-leveling flooring applications. Cardura E10P glycidyl ester provides benefits such as; high viscosity cutting power, excellent resistance to crystallization, improved chemical resistance, high level of reactivity, and improved pigment and filler wetting.
Emulsions based on VeoVa™ monomers exhibit excellent alkali resistance and are successfully used to enhance the properties of formulated cementitious materials, including self-leveling concrete. This modification can be done with wet emulsions or with redispersible powders (RDPs).
