Flooring and waterproofing
Flooring and waterproofing materials made with Sartomer® solutions offer several unique advantages, including:
- Low-VOC, low odor systems: Making them ideal for use in indoor and outdoor applications.
- Barrier properties: Can be used to create water resistant coatings with excellent barrier properties, which can help to protect surfaces from water, moisture, and chemicals.
- High reactivity: Allows for fast curing times.
- Flexibility : Can be used to create coatings with a wide range of flexibility, from rigid to elastomeric.
- Toughness: Deliver toughness in your formulations, guaranteeing that your surfaces can withstand heavy foot traffic, impact, and wear over time.
- Durability: Can withstand a wide range of environmental conditions.
- Chemical resistance: Resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and solvents.
- High gloss retention: Retain their high gloss over time, even after exposure to sunlight and other weathering elements.
- Easy to clean and maintain: Ideal for use in high-traffic areas, such as bathroom floors.
Choose Sartomer® resins and additives for your flooring and waterproofing needs, and experience the difference that tailored, high-performance solutions can make in your construction projects. Our commitment to quality, sustainability, and innovation ensures that you can rely on us to enhance the durability, aesthetics, and functionality of your structures.
Chemical anchor
In recent years, chemical anchoring gained popularity for their versatility in mechanical properties withstanding extreme conditions, fixing various substrates and bearing high loading. From anchoring structural steel to retrofitting a bridge, the most common materials available are polyester, epoxy acrylate, vinylester, hybrid mortar and epoxy in market. For each technology, we offer solutions to build the next generation of chemical anchor for capsule and injection systems.
- Low to no VOC: Sartomer® resins have a low VOC and odor profile, making them safer to handle and use.
- Fast curing with enhanced gel and cure times: Can be cured quickly, even at low temperatures, to improve productivity and reduce downtime.
- Wide mechanical performances: Enable heat resistance, water resistance, toughness, flexibility and/or adhesion.
- Biosourced reactive diluents: Offeing segregated bio-based reactive diluents that can be used to reduce the environmental impact of chemical anchors.
Below, we introduce the next generation of chemical anchors :
Injection System
The injection system is a type of chemical anchor system that involves injecting a liquid resin into a pre-drilled hole. The resin then cures to form a strong bond between the anchor and the substrate.
Capsule System
The capsule system is a type of chemical anchor system that involves inserting a pre-filled capsule into a pre-drilled hole. The capsule is then activated, and the resin cures to form a strong bond between the anchor and the substrate.
Artificial marble and solid surfaces
Sartomer® solutions enable formulators and manufacturers of artificial marble and solid surfaces to create products with stunning visuals and excellent performance, such as marble slabs. We offer a wide range of crosslinkers and monomers that can be used to achieve the following properties in artificial marble and solid surfaces:
- High gloss: Ideal for applications where a luxurious and elegant look is desired, such as countertops, backsplashes, and vanities.
- Compatibility with fillers: Allows formulators to create artificial marble and solid surfaces with a variety of different colors and textures.
- Control of exotherms and shrinkage during curing: Helps to prevent cracking and warping, and it also reduces the amount of time needed for the product to cure completely.
- Stain and heat resistance: Ideal for high-traffic areas such as kitchens and bathrooms.
- Impact resistance: Ideal for applications where they may be subject to rough treatment
