Civil Engineering

For civil engineering long standing durability for buildings and constructions is most important. Moreover, special work processes, e.g. roof coatings, bridge sealants and industrial floorings require short application times. The craftsman will need high quality materials with good properties.

In systems like floorings and sealants NOVARES resins have a positive influence on:

  • resistance against water / moisture
  • wetting of pigment and filler
  • rheology control
  • flexibility

LC – Liquid resins with a wide polarity range

These liquid resins were developed as modifiers for reactive resin systems based of epoxy resins, PU, polysulfides and acrylates. From the wide polarity range between 0.5 % and 6.5 % OH content the optimal liquid resin could be selected for different technical requirements. The product viscosities are on a low level and allow development and production of VOC-reduced and solvent-free coatings. Due to increased crystallization stability an easy processing is possible also at difficult climatic conditions.

They exhibits the following advantages

  • low viscosity coupled with wide range of polarity
  • improved stability against crystallisation
  • accurate controlling of system reactivity
  • accurate controlling of curing and the final hardness
  • improved compatibility due to defined polarity

LS – Resin as Substitute for Nonyl Phenol

The high polar special liquid resin LS 500 shows nearly the same accelarating effect during the curing process of an epoxy system as nonyl phenol.
