Iranian Firm Produces Epoxy Flooring Strongly Resistant to Wear
‘Baspar Sazan Iranian’ company used a polymeric nanocomposite filled with appropriate oxide nanoparticles to produce the epoxy flooring through which superior wear resistance and hardness was obtained.
These features can be beneficial to floorings for certain applications like clean rooms and hygienic places.
The presence of the hard fillers in the polymeric matrix of the product has resulted in its higher abrasion resistance and favorable hardness.
The product can be used as flooring for clean rooms, hygienic places, food and beverage industries and residential and commercial places.
In a relevant development in May, researchers of a knowledge-based company in Iran also succeeded in production of industrial concrete flooring with high resistance to pressure and erosion by using nanotechnology.
Concrete is one of the most widely-used building data-x-items applied as a raw material in construction. Concrete floorings are used as a new covering in certain shapes and thicknesses for the flooring of parks and urban and industrial passages, according to the Iranian Vice-Presidency for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy.
The main and important specification of this type of concrete flooring which has been produced by an Iranian knowledge-based company is its high resistance to erosion and weather changes. Cement, water, aggregator and concrete glue are used to make this type of flooring but to improve the properties of this product, nanoparticles have also been added.
Nanoparticles are one of the additives that can improve the properties of concrete, including erosion resistance, due to their very small dimensions. This type of flooring can be used in industrial and decorative flooring, parking lots, warehouses, ports, parks, road surfaces, sidewalks, intersections, stair floors, top of ramps and slopes, and refinery areas and fueling stations.
These concrete floorings contain nanoparticles and are highly resistant to erosion, bending, cold, heat and humidity, and their implementation is easy with no need for special machinery. They can also be applied in various designs with wet or dry mortar. Also they can be repaired easily.
