kwörtz flooring

Kwörtz flooring system is a seamless decorative resin flooring system consisting of clear, 100% solids epoxy resin filled with a variety of graded quartz, marble or ceramic fillers which can be modified to create the best design mix for ideal performance and appearance. A wide selection of gloss and satin finish coats are available for varying appearance and exposure requirements. The finished flooring system can be textured or smooth as per the specifications. The decorative quartz aggregates are available in a series of pre-blended patterns or solid colors. Custom color blends are available subject to approval, minimum quantity requirements, and lead time for production.

Crack-free installations of Kwörtz flooring system can be achieved when installed in conjunction with a Perdüre FE80 and Perdüre MVT . An integral cove base can be installed in areas requiring seamless wall to floor coating.

Key Considerations:

• On or below grade installation must have an efficient vapor barrier under the slab
• Special treatments are necessary where hydrostatic pressure or
  moisture vapor transmission may be present
• Substrate temperature must be a minimum of 55⁰F
  (low temperature cure system available upon request)
• Substrate must be free of dirt, waxes, curing agents, and other foreign materials
• All control joints and expansion joints in the substrate must be revealed with
  the appropriate divider strips in the topping

Kwörtz flooring system can be installed in different thickness and top coated with 100% epoxy resin, Novolac epoxy resin or solvent based polyurethane depending upon the performance requirements and application environments.

Perdüre E02 & Kwörtz Technical Data and Color Chart

Perdüre E10 Technical Data

Perdüre NE33

Perdüre NE33 is a 100% solids Novolac epoxy coating ideal for harsh chemical and solvent resistant applications. Perdüre NE33 is used as a binder or seal coat where extreme chemical resistant performance is needed. Perdüre NE33 is excellent for secondary containment, solvent storage, pump pads, trenches and other high exposure areas.

advantages

• Low viscosity ideal for trowelled mortar and slurry applications
• Exhibits excellent resistance to strong acids, alkalis and most industrial chemicals and solvents
• 100% Solids – low odor during application and curing
• Can be recoated in 4-6 hours
