Resistant Multilayer Floor Systems Based on Epoxy Binders with Recycled Various Glass Particles

Abstract:

The aim of the work was to use common waste glass materials as fillers in polymer resin and to propose the use it for selected multilayer polymer flooring systems which belongs to widespread materials for industrial and also public constructions. Authors decided to use polymer binder based on two different 2-component commercial epoxides Lena N 102 and Lena N 128. Common available secondary materials which replaced original filler were tested in mentioned polymer binder. Tested glass fillers were chosen according its chemical composition and physical properties. Used recycled materials were glass of windscreen, glass beads, screen, glass packaging and fluorescent glass. The filler compatibility with binder matrix was determined according mixture processability, applicability and evaluation of hardened surface.
