Performance

  • The intense effort made in R&D since 2006 has allowed us to develop continuous flooring with greater RESISTANCE.

  • Both the base, the intermediate layers and those of finishing and sealing are studied to achieve the best results in the most important performance variables:

  • Water resistance and Chemicals and therefore resistance to the stains, acids, alkalines and simply clean with soapy water.
  • Outstanding Resistance to scratching and abrasion
  • Resistance to forces and heavy material.
  • Anti cracking at high forces
  • Adherence is the best on the market wordwide.
  • Widely used around the world in over 20 countries. Europe USA and Southeast Asia.

Resistance

Water & Chemical Resistance

Resiststone EX It has a high resistance to water even before varnishing. This is very important because it is the main difference with traditional microcements, which are very hydrophilic. So it will not be stained if there is any fault in the varnish (a scratch, a pore...) as the rest of the microcements do. Resistone EX it is the best option in terms of chemical and water resistance indoors (shower floors,custom bath designs , Spas , saunas , water features internal external , pools and commercial and industrial applications . Can sustain forklift usage in industrial settings.

Resistance to Compression

Strength & Harness

Compressive strength, or surface hardness, measures the coating's ability to resist high pressure per mm2, when subject to impact from falls, stilettos, chairs, or other objects.
Resistone EX exhibits highly impressive surface hardness. Even though the lower layers with their elastic qualities have flexibility to avoid cracking, they are designed to work with the composition to engage the very hardest compression available in continuos flooring today. A truly revolutionary finish that will withstand the hardest and most severe of knocks and drops.

Labratory Resistance Tests:

  • Resistance to Cracking
    Applus Labratory Testing
    Modern microcements do not crack unless there are movements in the surface on which they are applied, concrete, tiles... Then the elasticity of the different layers comes into play to prevent movements from being translated into the coating as crack. There are different base layer systems. The highest performance is achieved with EPlastic. EP-Elastic lab tests:
    Tensile strength of the base elastic 15N/mm2Elongation at break 110% at RT
    Scratch Resistance
    Applus Labratory Testing
    Scratch resistance refers to deep damage from a sharp object. It is measured visually. Abrasion resistance refers to measures of the effect of repeated microdamage. It is measured by measuring the dust that is removed from the material when it is brushed with sandpaper. This mainly depends on the varnish.
    The result of our varnish according to the Abrasion Tables is (CS 17/ 1000U/1000g) 19mg.

Adherance, Fire & Heat

Adhesion is a key requirement, mainly in exterior projects (Exteriors and Pools). Since they are susceptible to vapor pressure coming from under the coating when there is humidity and heat shock. It is more resistant than a wooden floor and has less contribution to fire than a laminate floor, but of course the tiles work much better with this parameter. Product classification is Class B-S1, DO (EN 13501-1). B – Building materials having a very moderate fire contribution. S1 – Very Limited amount of smoke developed. DO – No flaming droplets or debris.
