Benefits and properties of EPOAQUA SL

High Water Vapour Permeability: EPOAQUA SL exhibits exceptional water vapour permeability, allowing moisture to escape from the substrate. This prevents the buildup of moisture-related issues such as mold and mildew, ensuring a healthier environment.
Prevents Osmotic Blistering: By providing effective moisture control, EPOAQUA SL prevents osmotic blistering of resin-based coatings over damp substrates. This feature ensures the long-lasting integrity and performance of the flooring system.
Economical and Fast Application: EPOAQUA SL’s user-friendly characteristics allow for a faster installation, minimizing downtime and reducing labor costs.
Good Self-Leveling Properties and Jointless: EPOAQUA SL exhibits excellent self-leveling properties, resulting in a smooth and seamless surface. The jointless nature of the flooring system enhances aesthetics and improves cleanliness.
Frost and De-icing Salt Resistant: EPOAQUA SL is resistant to frost and de-icing salts, making it suitable for outdoor applications where exposure to extreme temperatures and harsh weather conditions is expected.
Good Abrasion & Chemical Resistance: The abrasion and chemical resistance of EPOAQUA SL ensure its durability and longevity even in high-traffic areas. It can withstand the impact of heavy equipment, foot traffic, and chemical spills.
Hygienic, Non-porous, and Liquid Tight: EPOAQUA SL provides a hygienic, non-porous, and liquid-tight surface, making it suitable for environments that require stringent cleanliness standards. It resists the absorption of liquids, preventing the growth of bacteria and facilitating easy cleaning.
Thermal Expansion Properties Similar to Concrete: EPOAQUA SL exhibits thermal expansion properties similar to concrete, ensuring dimensional stability and minimizing the risk of cracks or failures due to temperature fluctuations.
Excellent Bond to Green or Hardened Concrete, whether Damp or Dry: EPOAQUA SL offers exceptional bonding properties to both green and hardened concrete, regardless of whether the substrate is damp or dry. This feature allows for flexibility during installation and ensures a reliable bond.
Excellent Early and Final Mechanical Strengths: EPOAQUA SL exhibits excellent early and final mechanical strengths, allowing for faster curing and quicker access to the coated area. This accelerates construction schedules and minimizes downtime.
Excellent Resistance to Water and Oils: EPOAQUA SL’s resistance to water and oils makes it highly suitable for applications where exposure to these substances is expected. It ensures long-term performance and protection against potential damage.
Contains No Solvents, VOC-Free: EPOAQUA SL is formulated without solvents, making it a VOC (volatile organic compounds)-free flooring solution. This promotes a healthier indoor environment and contributes to sustainability goals.
Available in a wide range of colors: EPOAQUA SL offers a wide range of color options, allowing designers and architects to create visually appealing and customized flooring solutions that align with the overall design aesthetic. Application Areas EPOAQUA SL finds extensive application in various construction environments, including:
Public Buildings: EPOAQUA SL’s low odor and emission properties make it an excellent choice for public buildings such as schools, offices, and cultural centers. It enhances the aesthetics and durability of floors in areas including lobbies, corridors, and communal spaces.
Hospitals: EPOAQUA SL’s water-vapour permeability and resistance to chemicals make it suitable for hospitals. It can be applied in areas such as operating rooms, laboratories, and sterile storage areas.
Paper Mills and Metal Industries: EPOAQUA SL’s chemical resistance makes it a reliable flooring system in paper mills and metal industries. It can withstand exposure to corrosive substances, ensuring a long-lasting and safe flooring solution.
Logistics Sites and Warehouses: EPOAQUA SL’s hard-wearing nature makes it ideal for logistics sites and warehouses. It can withstand heavy loads, forklifts, and constant movement, providing a durable and reliable surface.
Production Areas: EPOAQUA SL is designed to withstand the challenges of production areas. Its resistance to chemicals and hard-wearing properties makes it suitable for use in these demanding environments.
Workshops: EPOAQUA SL can enhance the functionality and durability of workshop floors. It provides a seamless, waterproof surface that can endure heavy equipment and frequent maintenance.
