UROXSYS INDUSTRIAL RANGE
Uroxsys Ltd manufactures a range of products designed to
rebuild,
preserve and protect floors. It is helpful to consider the product
range under 3 main categories: Primers,
Toppings and Coatings.
For more information on any of these products, please refer to our technical information page
for the individual Technical Data Sheets and Material Safety and Data
Sheets (MSDS), or follow the links after each product on this page.
1. PRIMERS
Primers are required to provide an effective bond to the substrate and to form an effective link with subsequently applied products. They may also be called upon to have anti-corrosive or wetting properties, and in some instances good chemical resistance.
Uroxsys Primers
- Duraprime AEP : A high bond strength epoxy primer which has good resistance to blooming in humid conditions. It has excellent surface wetting and additives to assist chemical bonding to mineral and silicaceous substrates. It is supplied as a 90% solids material to minimise transport costs. It can be thinned down to assist penetration and consolidation of porous substrates. It can be used on wood, concrete, fibrolite, ceramic tiles and bricks, and sound previously-coated surfaces.
2. TOPPINGS
Toppings are used to rebuild an eroded surface, to provide
falls or
contours, and to confer mechanical and chemical protection to a
substrate. In some instances, they provide a direct means to achieve
true floor levels. Toppings contain relatively high levels of mineral
fillers to help provide the physical characteristics required, and
generally fall into the basic categories of Mortars
and Self-Levellers.
Mortar toppings are heavily filled with durable aggregates and sands, and typically have a filler to binder ratio of 7-9:1. The binder may be epoxy, polyester, polyurethane or modified Portland cement. They are spread out and levelled with steel or glass trowels and are ideal for filling, creating falls and coves and providing heavy duty mechanical protection in one operation. Normally applied at a minimum of 6mm.
Uroxsys Mortar Toppings
- Duracrete PCM (Portland cement / sand based
mortar):
Polymer modified for fast cure, improved adhesion and flexural
strength, cracking is minimised by the use of PCM liquid instead of
water to hydrate the mix. It is commonly used as a low cost prefill,
and for pitching floors and drains. It may be overlaid after 24 hours
with another Duracrete system for improved impact resistance, or sealed
with a Duracoat finishing system for improved chemical resistance and
wear resistance.
- Duracrete EMT (Epoxy Mortar Topping):
Can be fully coloured, natural, or finished with a range of Uroxsys
coatings to give a variety of customised colours and safety
finishes. A range of hardeners are available which vary in
chemical resistance, speed of cure and cost. It is normally
installed over primed surfaces (usually Duraprime AEP), and at 5-6mm
thickness. Rolling after trowelling with a solvent-dampened
roller
helps close the surface if no seal coat is to be applied. It
has
very low odour and good resistance to blooming in high humidity.
3. COATINGS
Coatings provide protection, colour and texture. They usually
contain
solvents, and commonly have special additives to provide slip, mar and
wear resistance. There are a variety of binder systems, giving a wide
range of performance in areas where there are chemical, UV or abrasion
exposures. The proper selection of a top coat is an important
part
of system selection.
Uroxsys Coatings
A. EPOXIES
- Duracoat EBHB:
A high build, solvent free, amine-cured epoxy coating with very high
chemical and wear resistance. It may be spray applied using
conventional airless equipment capable of sustaining a tip pressure of
3000 p.s.i., at film builds of up to 1mm plus per coat. When
applied by brush or roller the effective film build is approximately
500 microns. It can be used in conjunction with glass fabric in lining
containment areas exposed to aggressive chemicals or as a high
performance, heavy duty tank lining. When multi-coating, there
are
two colours available to gauge coverage. Please note that
adding
solvents to this product when applying at high build markedly
downgrades the wear and chemical resistance of the cured film.
B. POLYURETHANES
- Duracoat AUSF:
A satin finish two-pot polyurethane with especially good chemical
resistance and exterior durability. It has superior long-term gloss and
colour retention, and is the coating of choice when upgrading an aged
epoxy coating. Special additives for improved non-slip and
wear
resistance are available. Commonly used in pharmaceutical and
high
hygiene areas, as well as in tanneries and vehicle workshops.
- Duracoat AUGF:
A gloss finish two-pot polyurethane with similar properties to Duracoat
AUSF. It is used where high cleanability in required (i.e. walls in
hygiene areas).Performs well in submerged application such as pools
where the substrate is properly prepared.
- Duracoat MCL:
A high solids, one component, clear and non yellowing moisture cured
polyurethane. Available in gloss, satin and matt. It is developed for
use as a high performance, abrasion resistant, clear urethane finish
for wooden floors, cork tiles and cementitous
substrates. Suitable
for exterior use, non-slip granules can be incorporated to provide an
effective non-slip finish over ceramic tiled floors. Tyre
stain
resistant, it has low odour and is xylene free.
