Resin flooring systems

TrokenTech flooring systems

The portfolio of flooring systems based on various types of resins offered by TrokenTech includes all the latest solutions available on the market. They make it possible to obtain a floor adapted to the specific investment needs of the client. Each layer of the system is a highly specialized solution that creates a coherent whole. Primer WS , intended for wet concrete, is an ideal preparation for Polish weather conditions and typical outdoor applications. Epoxol® Primer is used . This solvent-based primer penetrates deep into the pores of the concrete, saturating it and at the same time strengthening it appropriately so that the floor acquires all the necessary parameters for the application of subsequent resin-based layers. Yet another primer that is also used in the offered system solutions is Epoxol® Primer SF-P . The product has several different applications. From priming and closing the absorbency of the substrate to building repair masses or even epoxy screeds after mixing it with various fractions of quartz sand. In TrokenTech resin flooring systems, this product is used in various variants depending on the complexity and target purpose.

The intermediate layers in the proposed systems are composed of, among others: based on the already mentioned Epoxol® Primer SF-P mixed with quartz sand, which in this variant allows for building the appropriate floor thickness. The second product that is also used for this purpose is Epoxol® Floor . This self-leveling epoxy resin can be applied up to 3 mm thick in one layer. Additionally, it can be mixed with quartz sand in a 1:1 ratio, which not only translates into saving material and lowering the price of 1 m2 of resin flooring, but the quartz sand falling to the bottom additionally increases adhesion to the preceding layer.

Neodur® Special or Neopox® Special , are used as the intermediate layer . These are polyurethane and epoxy resin, respectively, which are based on solvents. Both have excellent mechanical and chemical resistance parameters, i.e. they are resistant to many chemical substances. Another thin film product used as an intermediate layer is Neopox® W Plus . This resin, in turn, is a water-based epoxy, so its application is more environmentally friendly because it contains fewer volatile organic compounds than solvent-based products. This translates into reduced unpleasant odor during coating application. The intermediate layers also include quick-drying products based on polyaspartic resin. Their quick hardening allows some systems to be completed in one day and ready for use after 24 hours. Products building quick-drying systems are included in the Neodur® Fast Track , which is also available in a solvent-free version with limited unpleasant odor and has the note SF for "Solvent Free".

Topcoats in the TrokenTech flooring systems portfolio are most often a combination of the previously mentioned products, depending on the complexity, thickness, place of use and color of the final coating. Products from the line of coating resins such as Neodur® Special or Neopox® W Plus allow you to obtain almost all colors from the RAL palette. Additionally, the self-leveling epoxy Epoxol® Floor is also tintable, just like the resins mentioned above. It is worth mentioning that both Neodur® Special and the entire Neodur® Fast Track are fully resistant to UV rays and weather conditions, so they can be successfully used outdoors. Therefore, the full universality of the systems will allow you to select the appropriate solution depending on the customer's needs and specific investment requirements, such as mechanical resistance, chemical resistance, anti-slip class or color of the final layer.

What are flooring systems?

Flooring systems are solutions that include a proposal of materials and flooring technology, tailored to specific technical, functional and aesthetic requirements. The proposed solutions are called systems because they contain complexity in the form of several carefully selected layers, such as an intermediate layer or a top layer.

Most system solutions based on resin-based products consist of matched primers, e.g. epoxy, which have specialized applications. Neopox® Primer AY capillary primer , used for concrete substrates that have not been insulated, e.g. from groundwater. Another primer included in the offered systems is Epoxol Primer®, a primer for screeds and anhydrites. These are concrete substrates with a high degree of absorption. The system offer also includes agents for use on damp outdoor concrete, such as Neopox® Primer WS .

After appropriate priming of the substrate, the subsequent layers of the proposed system solutions include, for example, intermediate layers based on solvent-free epoxy resins such as Epoxol® Floor and Epoxol®Primer SF-P, thanks to which the applied system largely achieves most of its target thickness. The use of epoxy-based solutions makes it possible to later use the floors under heavy mechanical loads, including heavy traffic, forklifts or heavy industrial machines. Additionally, the high chemical resistance of epoxy resins, but also polyurethane and polyaspartic resins, extends the scope of use of floors to garages, laboratories, chemical and food industries.

Topcoats, the last element of flooring systems, are most often coatings made of polyurethane resin, but also epoxy or polyaspartic resin. The last two groups of resins are fully resistant to UV and weather conditions, so they can be used both indoors and outdoors. The use of quartz sand in the preceding layer or in the last layer of an anti-slip additive in the form of microspheres ( Neotex® Antiskid M ) makes it possible to obtain the appropriate floor roughness class, which is especially important when using the system outdoors. There are also smooth coating finishes that offer a completely even, uniform surface. Such solutions will work wherever there is not too much humidity or a specific aesthetic variant is required. In addition, the surface layers of the proposed systems include products available in many colors, as well as those that can be colored on request. This translates into a wide range of possibilities for finishing a resin floor, which will combine safety of use and appropriate protection of the floor with an aesthetic effect.

Flooring systems - adaptation to various needs

Flooring systems include a number of different solutions intended for industrial facilities, public places and apartments. Each investment is characterized by different parameters, such as the load to which the resin floor will be subjected, or the color and type of finishing. Therefore, the flooring systems at TrokenTech have been divided into categories that, using appropriate filters, will show the best-suited solutions to the specific requirements of the flooring project.

Industry

Flooring systems in industry must meet the highest standards of mechanical strength and resistance to chemicals, impacts and intensive use. TrokenTech offers resin industrial floors that combine durability with functionality.

Warehouses and logistics centers

In warehouse spaces, resistance to loads and ease of keeping clean are important. Flooring systems from the TrokenTech portfolio meet these requirements, ensuring long-term use without the need for frequent renovations.

Abrasion resistance and anti-slip properties are essential in sports facilities. Resin floors included in flooring systems are perfect for sports halls and gyms.

Apartments and houses

The flooring systems include modern solutions for residential interiors, combining functionality with elegance. The mirror effect or the addition of decorative flakes translates into a non-standard visual effect while maintaining the highest parameters of mechanical, chemical and abrasion resistance.

Types of resin flooring systems

Epoxy floors

They are characterized by high mechanical and chemical resistance. Perfect for industrial and residential applications. Thanks to a wide range of flooring systems based on solvent-based, water-based and solvent-free products, it is possible to work in various spaces without having to exclude the entire apartment or industrial hall from use.

Polyurethane floors

These are fast flooring systems because they offer the ability to create a resin floor in up to 24 hours. Additionally, the products included in this type of systems allow application at low temperatures, even around 0°C, which is simply impossible in the case of polyurethanes and epoxies.

Decorative floors

They provide a unique look, combining aesthetics with functionality. Perfect for residential and commercial interiors. The use of, for example, decorative flakes in this type of flooring systems allows not only to improve the aesthetics of the investment, but also to optically mask certain minor irregularities.

Anti-slip floors

Designed to ensure safety in places with a high risk of slipping, such as sports facilities, production plants, but also all places with high air humidity. Various anti-slip classes from R9 to R13 allow you to adjust the roughness depending on the risk of slipping.

How to choose the right flooring system?

The choice of flooring system depends on the place of use, expected load, hygienic and aesthetic requirements. It is crucial to take into account the specificity of a given space, such as weather conditions, including exposure to UV rays, exposure to chemicals and traffic intensity. TrokenTech offers professional advice, helping to select a solution perfectly tailored to the client's needs.

Why is it worth choosing flooring systems?

• Durability and strength: Flooring systems from the TrokenTech portfolio are highly resistant to abrasion, chemicals and mechanical loads.
• Versatile applications: Suitable for a variety of spaces, from industry to residential. Thanks to its parameters, it is permissible to use heavy equipment such as forklifts, but also animals, such as dogs, after being properly protected with varnish.
• Aesthetics: Available in a wide range of colors and patterns. The possibility of coloring selected solutions according to the RAL palette or using decorative flakes allows for almost full personalization of the floor design based on the flooring system.
• Safety: Anti-slip options and seamless construction minimize the risk of accidents. The offer of several anti-slip classes, up to R13, allows you to adjust the roughness of the surface coating of the flooring system to your individual needs.
• Hygiene: Thanks to the lack of joints in flooring systems, there is an easy way to keep the floor clean. All you need is warm water, mild detergent and a mop with soft bristles.

The application process of flooring systems

Flooring systems consist of several layers, therefore they require several application stages to create a fully functional floor based on the selected resin. The most common stages of resin flooring systems are explained below:

Substrate preparation

Removing existing coatings, cleaning the surface and leveling it are key preparatory steps. Irregularities may lead to an unsatisfactory visual effect, while leaving dirt will significantly affect the adhesion of the entire system to the floor.

Applying primer

The application of primer improves the adhesion of the flooring system to the substrate. This stage is also crucial, as is the preparation of the substrate. A properly primed floor is fully glossy. If dull spots appear somewhere, apply an additional layer of primer. An incorrectly primed substrate will significantly reduce the adhesion of the entire resin flooring system.

Base layer application

The base layer gives the floor appropriate structure and mechanical strength. That's why it is often called the load-bearing layer, because it provides the mechanical strength of the entire system.

Application of the finishing layer

It is responsible for the aesthetics and functionality of the floor, e.g. anti-slip properties or decorative appearance. It is the final stage of applying resin products in flooring systems. It often contains colored resins or clear varnishes if a decorative effect, e.g. decorative flakes, was used in the previous layer.

Hardening

The hardening process ensures durability and resistance to use. This is the stage during which the floor acquires all mechanical and chemical parameters. The full hardening time varies and depends on the nature of the resin used to make the flooring system. Epoxies and polyurethanes usually harden within 7 days after applying the last layer, while in the case of polyureas it takes up to 24 hours.

How to care for flooring systems?

To ensure the longevity of the flooring system, it is worth following a few simple rules:

• Regular washing using appropriate cleaning agents.
• Avoiding aggressive chemicals if the system is not resistant to them.
• Periodic inspection of the floor condition and repair of minor damage.
• Surface protection against excessive loads and impacts.
