Why are Dur-A-Flex, Inc. epoxy systems selected for many applications rather than other types of resins? Some of the major reasons for selecting Dur-A-Flex, Inc. 2:1 epoxy systems are given below:
COMPOUNDING VERSATILITY - Dur-A-Flex, Inc. 100% solids 2:1 epoxy systems can be varied in a multitude of ways for specific applications. A simple approach to presenting our products was adopted to help architects, engineers, planners and installers quickly become knowledgeable in the specification and application of products in 5 simple categories (see Generic Categories below).
GOOD SURFACE WETTER - Before an epoxy can bond to a surface, it must come into intimate contact with that surface. Dur-A-Flex, Inc. 100% solids, 2:1 epoxy systems have a universal viscosity which enables them to easily bond to concrete and plywood substrates. Super-Stick, a bond additive, may also be specified to increase the bond strength to existing epoxy floors, quarry or ceramic tile and steel.
NON-VOLATILE LIQUID - On many flooring installations it is necessary to rely on the product to fill and level surface imperfections. Solvent based materials will tend to "skin" over, trapping these volatile materials and impairing the bond. Dur-A-Flex, Inc. 100% solids, 2:1 epoxy systems use no solvents.
DOES NOT SHRINK DURING CURE - Dur-A-Flex epoxies convert from a liquid to a solid with negligible shrinkage. This makes them positive gap fillers and there are no stresses set up in the bond line due to shrinkage. Polyurethane, polyester and methylmethacrylate resins, for example, shrink during cure causing stress which will lead to delamination. 100% solids, 2:1 epoxy systems by Dur-A-Flex, Inc. set up no stresses for bond breaking.
STRENGTH - Cured epoxies are strong and shrink resistant. On rigid structural members, strengths exceeding 10,000 psi can be realized, given proper design and adhesive selection, with Dur-A-Flex, Inc. 100% solids 2:1 epoxy systems.
PERMANENCE - In general, after curing, Dur-A-Flex, Inc. 100% solids 2:1 epoxy systems resist moisture, heat, and weathering and they are inert to most chemical exposure, bacteria and fungus.
