ARKIFLOOR EH

Two-component, solvent-based, epoxy floor coating system

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION TECHNICAL PROPERTIES

Arkifloor EH is a colour pigmented, two-component DESCRIPTION RESULTS

epoxy floor coating system. It is designed for light to
medium-grade traffic and corrosion control environment. Adhesion Strength
2.5 N/mm2
Arkifloor EH displays good adhesive properties, and JIS A 6909 5.5
excellent resistance against chemicals on well prepared
cementitous substrates. Abrasion Resistance 30 mg
Taber Test: CS17 (1000 rounds)
The gloss finish of Arkifloor EH retards the growth of
mould and fungus commonly found on substrates. Its Anti-slip Coefficient 0.26
smooth, hard surface prevents the development of dust JIS A 1407
