Synthetic Materials for Industrial Floorings

Chemical composition of synthetic materials for industrial flooring includes: Filler, Pigments, Additives, Solvents and/or water.

Binder

• Macromolecular organic connection. Macromolecules are molecules with  a molar mass from 10.000 g/mol upwards, up to several million g/mol. A macromolecule or a collective of macromolecules, which are formed via a Polyreaction  are called Polymer. Polymers develop due to the linkage  of hundreds of basic molecules (“monomers”) to form large molecules
• Defines the polymer structure.
• Dictates the basic technical properties, such as mechanical and chemical resistance etc.

Filler

• Inorganic solids (chalk, quartz flower etc.) or solid organic polymers
• Influences the mechanical properties, such as flow, surface structure etc.

Pigments

• Inorganic and/or organic solids with “chromophoric” properties (carbon black, oxides /phthalocyanine)
• Define the specific colour shades

Additive

• Usually low molecular organic connection
• Control specific material properties, such as aesthetics, de-earation, adhesion etc.

Solvents

• Inert, usually synthetic organic fluids
• Influence the flow properties, curing times etc.

Water

• Dispersion
