Epoxy colored sand self-leveling has become the top choice for high-end industrial flooring and commercial spaces due to its excellent wear resistance, slip resistance, and aesthetic decorative effects. Based on a standard three-component (A/B/C) system, this article analyzes the formulation logic of water-based epoxy mortar coatings to help manufacturers optimize production and buyers identify high-quality products.
Core Formula Breakdown
According to the provided reference formula, high-performance epoxy colored sand coatings follow a strict mixing ratio: Ratio: A (emulsion): B (hardener): C (aggregate) = 1: 2.5: 10
Component A: Epoxy Resin Emulsion
- Function: As the primary film-forming substance, it provides the basic adhesive force.
- Key Point: High-performance epoxy emulsions such as 6160 are selected to ensure system stability.
Component B: Curing System & Additives
- Curing Agen: It reacts with component A to form a rigid network structure.
- Additives: Dispersant + Wetting Agent + Silicone Defoamer
Component C: Mortar Aggregates
- Quartz Sand: 80-mesh gradation provides wear-resistant support.
- Cement: 425 grade cement is used to enhance the system’s strength and density.
- Water-reducing Admixture: Reduce water usage while maintaining fluidity, and increase strength after curing.
Why Choose Water-based Systems?
Modern environmental standards require coatings to have low VOC emissions. Water-based epoxy mortar has the following advantages:
- Eco-friendly: Extremely low VOC content, meeting green building procurement standards.
- Moisture Tolerance: Compared to oil-based floors, it has better tolerance to moisture on concrete substrates.
- High Hardness: Through precise sand gradation, the hardness can reach industrial-grade standards.
Key Tips for Procurement & Application
- Precise mixing: Mechanically mix strictly according to a 1:2.5:10 ratio to ensure complete blending of components.
- Surface leveling (Self-Leveling): Achieves mirror-like smoothness through the combined use of water-reducing agents and defoamers.
- Sourcing advice: Small and medium-sized purchasers should verify the brands of raw materials (such as well-known additives like BYK) to ensure quality stability.
