Technical Information
Product Description

ARMONITE is a natural sodium bentonite composed of montmorillonite and volcanic ash. It is a free flowing product with special waterproofing absorbing sealing, molding and bonding properties.

When ARMONITE is added to water and activated by a mixer rotating at high speed, it will produce a high viscosity mix with low permeability and lubrication power.

Advantages
  • Excellent sweilling properties
  • High thermal stability
  • High plasticity and tensile strength
  • Good sealing and waterproofing properties
  • Excellent absorbing properties
  • Good bonding and molding properties

Monneli Epofloor UV2

UV Resistant Aliphatic Polyurethane Coating

Uses
EPOFLOOR UV2 has been designed for use over concrete, acid stained surfaces, concrete pavers and various types of architectural concrete. It is typically used as a follows:
UV resistant sealer coat for the EPOFLOOR range of epoxy and polyurethane resin systems.
When used as a finish coat in vehicle areas, it resists tire tracking and provides high abrasion resistant top coat finish.
Finishing coat in industrial, commercial, or marine applications where a heavy-duty polyurethane floor finish is required.
The excellent resistance to acids diluted alkalis, spillage of solvents, chemicals, jet fuel, grease, etc. and the high abrasion resistant combined with its elasticity makes EPOFLOOR UV2 suitable for use in car parks, vehicle ramps and traffic aisles both indoor and outdoor.
As a UV resistant protective coating for roof waterproofing system.
