Flooring

Floors are perhaps the most heavily used surfaces within architectural paints, enduring a constant stream of footsteps, the weight of people and furniture, and the movement of various objects every day. As a result, the key focus for floor coatings is their performance, combined with the ease of application using methods like brushes, rollers, T-bars, or spraying.

In the market, we've observed a shift from solvent-based to waterborne coatings, and an emerging trend toward more environmentally friendly, biobased solutions. This transition aims to create safer paint formulations by reducing harmful components like VOCs and amines, aligning with a growing concern for safety. Furthermore, there is a noticeable market shift towards ultra-matte coatings to preserve the natural beauty of surfaces, presenting a range of formulation challenges.

Our additives are tailored for floor coatings with these demanding requirements for both durability and aesthetics. They facilitate and support multifunctional application, resist sagging, and prevent settling, offering excellent flow and leveling. Our additives also enhance essential coating properties, such as adhesion, abrasion resistance, and resistance to chemicals. Moreover, they enhance slip resistance, resist scratches, resist BHMR (black heel mark resistance). The result is easy applied floor coatings that can withstand heavy wear, spills, and dirt while retaining their appealing appearance.
