Akfix Introduces Polyurea, Surface Coating, Waterproofing and Joint Filling Technology

Akfix Polyurethane Coating Systems

Rapid technological advancement has brought new dimensions to insulation systems used in buildings, construction materials, and the transportation sector.

Akfix Polyurethane Elastomeric coating systems, which provide superior water insulation, high impact resistance, are unaffected by weather conditions, and cure very rapidly, offer significant advantages for users and applicators. Akkim-developed AkfixPolyurethane systems are two-component floor coating materials formed through a reaction between an isocyanate prepolymer and amine resin mixture. In the areas where they are applied, they create an additional waterproof membrane and protective layer. Evaluated as the water insulation and coating technology of today and the future, this system has a very wide range of applications. It can be used at all points of buildings requiring water insulation; in water tanks, ponds, decorative pools and swimming pools, pipes, maintenance holes, wastewater discharge channels, roofs, and balconies. As industrial floor coating, it can be applied in hospitals, warehouses, factories, parking lots, garages, water parks, aquariums, play areas, oil and gas storage facilities, tank coatings, chemical storage tanks, etc. In the transportation sector, it can be used for insulation and protection purposes on roads, bridges, railways, road markings, piers, tunnels, airports, ship decks, seaports, trucks, garbage trucks, pickups, and other transport vehicles. Owing to its many superior properties such as very rapid drying time, excellent strength, wear and corrosion resistance, polyurethane is the coating and water insulation technology of today and the future.

Basic properties of AkfixPolyurethane Coating System are as follows:

• Cures very rapidly and is ready for use in a short time. • Does not harm the environment, contains no VOC, and is environmentally friendly. • Provides seamless application and is waterproof. • Contains no catalyst, so it is unaffected by moisture and temperature. • Highly flexible. • Has excellent crack bridging capability. • Highly resistant to chemicals and corrosion. • Can be used seamlessly on vertical surfaces and geometrically complex substrates. • Resistant to wear and impact. • Does not shrink after application. • Provides excellent temperature stability. • Adheres excellently to surfaces such as concrete, metal, wood, ceramic, and geotextile. • Allows coating to be applied at desired thickness.

AkfixPolyurethane Joint Filler Systems

AkfixPolyurethane joint filler and repair mastic play an important role in meeting the need for fast-curing mastics in the construction industry. It is a self-leveling, two-component joint filler and repair material. It penetrates cracks and fissures in new and old concrete, preventing leaks and concrete deformation. The surface can be opened to foot traffic one hour after application. Thanks to its autocatalytic properties, it can be applied even at very low temperatures. Akfix Joint Filler Polyurethane system is used in concrete filling and repair, concrete structural and control joints, industrial factory floors, parking lots, balconies and roofs, airport runways, and cold storage facilities.

AkfixPolyurethane Polyaspartic Systems

AkfixPolyurethane Polyaspartic is a new-generation aliphatic floor coating system with two components that offers excellent UV resistance and color fastness for desired floor coatings. It differs from spray polyurethane systems in application and performance. Polyaspartics are applied to surfaces using brush or roller. Polyaspartic systems provide the ability to control reaction and curing speed in the formulation. Systems with working times varying between five minutes and two hours can be obtained. Compared to conventional topcoats, polyaspartic polyurethane coatings offer many more advantages. Akfix Polyurethane Polyaspartic Coating system can be used in industrial coatings, topcoats requiring UV resistance, clear coatings, swimming pools with gloss requirements, entertainment and water parks, terraces and roofs, highly decorative floor applications, garage floors, aquariums, and many other areas.
