What is resin flooring?

Image
http://www.applechemie.com A resin floor is a hard wearing plastic surface, created by mixing together a selection of ingredients to initiate a fast and controlled chemical reaction.   The chemical reaction creates a highly durable finish, ideal for the heaviest use environments. In the simplest form (a resin coating), the ingredients consist of a formulated synthetic resin and separate hardener.    As performance demands intensify (typically resulting in an increase in resin floor thickness), the range of ingredients grows to include aggregates, pigments, decorative chips / flakes and in some cases cement powder.   The thicker type resin floor types are almost always harder than concrete. Most resin floors utilise a primer which penetrates into / reacts with the substrate to create a high strength and reliable bond which is essential to the longevity of the floor. The primer is typically followed by a main structural layer, often referred to as the body coat, wh

Viscosity-Modifying Admixtures

http://www.applechemie.com/ Most concrete producers readily associate viscosity-modifying admixtures (VMAs) with the manufacture and placement of underwater concrete (UWC) and self-consolidating concrete (SCC), two of the earliest applications for this relatively new type of chemical admixture. VMAs, by virtue of their capability to minimize the movement of water and fines away from the bulk concrete and maintain a homogeneous composition, is a clear chemical admixture choice for these concrete construction applications. For example, the stability of SCC is challenged by virtue of the low yield stress (high slump-flow) and low viscosity (short V-funnel times) required for self-consolidation, while UWC needs to have sufficient consistency to resist washout of the cement paste from the concrete rising from a tremie pipe when displacing water. As an added safety margin, a small dose of VMA is recommended for all SCC mixes to anticipate the unexpected batch-to-batch variati
