Product Description

The early deterioration of a floor is subject to wear and tear of a more widespread problem in industrial flooring.

SIB is specialized in the manufacture of high performance hardeners, which give a higher wear resistance, providing an effective solution for locations subject to traffic and use of high intensity.

The application of hardening in concrete floors is aimed at increasing the resistance to abrasion, anti-dust and increased resistance to chemical attack.

SIB is a leader in the domestic market in the production of hardeners, and in recent years been observed to run million m2 of industrial floor hardeners to using sibland.

The standard EN ****3 applies to CE marking mortar floor.

The tests required to apply to cementitious industrial floor hardeners, are the rehearsals of the Compressive Strength, Flexural Strength and Abrasion Resistance. In the abrasion test, the standard allows it to be made by one of three methods: Wear Resistance "BCA", "Rolling Wheeler" or "Bohme." The method "Bohme" is the most common method internationally for carrying out the test for resistance to abrasion.

According to test results, the hardeners are classified as follows:

Compressive Strength: Letter "C" followed by the results recorded in N/mm2. The hardeners are classified from Class C5 up to C*0, and C5 to the class of least resistance and the C*0 class of higher resistance.

Flexural Strength: Letter "F" followed by the results recorded in N/mm2. The hardeners are classified from class F1 up to F*0, F1 being the class of least resistance class F*0 and the higher resistance.

Abrasion Resistance "Bohme": Letter "A" followed by the result seen in cm3/*0 cm2.

The hardeners are classified from Class A1 to the A*2, 5. Unlike the above-referenced tests, to test the Bohme hardeners are classified from class A*2 (with lower resistance to abrasion possible) to the Class A1, 5 (with the greatest possible resistance to abrasion).

For a monolithic floor with the addition of hardener in the concrete surface, the tests most relevant and important consideration in choosing the appropriate hardener are first testing the abrasion resistance (measured as the ability to wear resistance), followed by the flexural test and only a last resort and not very relevant in this case, the compressive strength.

Tests of hardness and impact resistance are also relevant in the classification of a surface hardener.

SIB has different hardeners depending on the desired characteristics.
