ABSTRACT

Recently the manufacture of epoxy coating and flooring materials begun to be under strong pressure to use more environmentally friendly raw materials in its composition. First tendency to reduce of solvents and diluents contained in the materials appeared at the end of 90´s. This situation was supported by the Council of Europe in 2004 to reduce VOC emissions to zero till 2020. Solvent materials were thus largely replaced by solvent free materials from which the volatile substances are not released into the air. But pressure continued to increase, and over the past decade began to take centre stage water-based epoxy. On the Czech market solvent based material is still occasionally used, but predominant are solvent free materials. There are no commonly used materials containing wastes as fillers in new water-borne and solvent-free epoxy materials. Characteristics identification of the waste material as a potential filler is a set of properties that determine the limits of secondary raw materials or waste as a filler. This paper describes the basic characteristics which must be selected to meet the requirements, to affect negatively the workability, sedimentation, properties and behavior of the final floor system. Some materials must comply with special requirements, such as resistance to chemicals, etc. Next part of paper talks about utilization of polymer floors and their mechanical properties.

KEYWORDS
