Silikal® R 61 resin

1 of 8 products in this brand
SILIKAL® R 61 resin is a reactive, slightly elasticized resin for slip-resistant floorings in wet areas. SILIKAL® R 61 resin is a solvent-free, medium-viscosity 2-component methacrylic resin of a slightly elasticized character. It is employed as a binder in the manufacture of self-leveling coatings sprinkled with quartz sand or for smoothable floorings with colored quartz, predominantly in the food industry (wet areas), in coat thickness of 2 - 3 mm or 4 - 6 mm. Hot water stress is limited to 60 °C. This limit may be briefly exceeded to 80 °C for cleaning purposes, but only if the floor is not completely warmed through.

Application

Depending on the mechanical stresses, a distinction is made between a thin and a thick coating. For fork-lift truck traffi c the minimum thickness of 4 mm must be observed. For temperatures below +5 °C and for outdoor use on concrete, more highly-elasticized resin types are preferred.

Suggested Coating System
  • Slip-resistant self-leveling thin coating 3 mm
  • Slip-resistant self-leveling thick coating 5 mm
  • Decorative colored quartz coating 4 – 6 mm (screed)
