Epidian Floor G2 - Epoxy-quartz Floor Q1 System – high durability

System Floor Q1 is an advanced, highly durable flooring solution based on Epidian Floor G2 transparent epoxy resin, which acts as a binder for selected quartz aggregate. This system was designed to create surfaces that must withstand extreme mechanical and chemical loads.

It is a system with a rough (anti-slip) or smooth (burnished) structure, ideal for industrial facilities, workshops, garages, and any spaces exposed to intensive use and vehicle traffic.

Key product features:

• Extreme mechanical strength – the quartz aggregate structure provides the highest resistance to abrasion, impacts, and intensive traffic from heavy vehicles (forklifts, cars).
• High chemical resistance – an effective and durable barrier protecting concrete from oils, lubricants, fuels, acids, alkalis, and other aggressive substances.
• Substrate reinforcement and protection – G2 resin penetrates and stabilizes the concrete substrate deeply, improving its load-bearing properties and protecting against dusting.
• Configurable structure (Anti-slip) – the ability to adjust the degree of anti-slip by selecting the aggregate fraction and finishing method (full broadcast, sparse broadcast, or burnished smooth surface).
• Industrial aesthetics – creates a uniform, durable surface with a characteristic "stone carpet" appearance (in the burnished version) or a solid-colored floor with texture (in the version painted with a topcoat).

Application:

• Production and warehouse halls with high traffic.
• Garages, underground parking lots, and car workshops.
• Heavy industry, machinery, and logistics facilities.
• Technical rooms, boiler rooms, server rooms.
• Wet areas, car washes, loading ramps (anti-slip version).

Application and hardener selection – VERY IMPORTANT!

The Epidian Floor G2 resin is a two-component product and requires the addition of a hardener before use. The hardener is not included in the set and must be ordered separately from our store.

CRITICAL NOTE: Mixing ratios and application properties differ radically depending on the selected type of hardener (U1 or MTB). The choice of hardener should be dictated by the conditions prevailing at the application site, especially the temperature.

Option 1: U1 Hardener (Standard / Slow)

Recommended for use in optimal conditions and higher temperatures (above 20°C). It provides a longer mixture life (pot-life), which makes it easier to apply calmly on larger surfaces without the risk of the resin curing too quickly in the container.

• Mixing ratio (by weight): 100 parts G2 resin : 40 parts U1 hardener.
• Example: For every 10 kg of Epidian Floor G2 resin, add 4 kg of U1 hardener.
• Mixture life (at 20°C): approx. 40-60 minutes.

Option 2: MTB Hardener (Fast / Low-temperature)

Recommended for use at lower temperatures (range 10°C – 18°C) or in situations where faster floor curing and a quicker return to operation are required. It is characterized by a significantly shorter mixture life, which requires fast and efficient application.

• Mixing ratio (by weight): 100 parts G2 resin : 30 parts MTB hardener.
• Example: For every 10 kg of Epidian Floor G2 resin, add 3 kg of MTB hardener.
• Mixture life (at 20°C): approx. 20-30 minutes (note: at higher temperatures, this time is drastically reduced!).

Application instructions: The components should be weighed in the appropriate proportions into a clean container and thoroughly mixed with a low-speed mixer (approx. 300-500 rpm) for at least 2-3 minutes, paying attention to thoroughly collecting the material from the walls and bottom. After mixing, it is recommended to pour the material into a clean container and briefly mix again ("double-mixing") to avoid applying uncured material. Detailed information on the application of the individual layers of the system can be found here: [LINK TO FLOORING SYSTEMS INSTRUCTIONS].

Technical parameters and yield:

• System base (binder): Epidian Floor G2 epoxy resin.
• Filler: Flame-dried quartz aggregate (fraction selected depending on the expected thickness and structure, e.g., 0.1-0.4 mm, 0.4-0.8 mm, 0.8-1.2 mm).
• Typical system thickness: 2 – 5 mm (depending on the number of layers and aggregate fraction).
• Approximate consumption (binder + aggregate): approx. 2.0 – 3.0 kg of ready-mixed material per 1 m² at a layer thickness of 1 mm.
• Curing time (foot traffic at 20°C):
  • With U1 hardener: after approx. 24-36 hours.
  • With MTB hardener: after approx. 16-24 hours.
• Full mechanical and chemical load: after 7 days (at 20°C).

Why choose the System Floor Q1 with G2 resin?

This system forms the foundation for the most durable industrial floors. By combining the excellent adhesion and mechanical properties of Epidian Floor G2 resin with the hardness of quartz, we obtain a surface that will withstand the toughest operating conditions in industry and logistics, ensuring many years of durability and safe use.
