Adhesives specialist STAUF demonstrated its traditional strength in research and development once again at the Domotex trade fair. The family-run company was able to present not one but two new developments. The stand was clearly divided into two – with one side dedicated to STAUF WEP 180, a multifunctional epoxy-resin primer that offers special added value. The other side of the stand presented STAUF’s new AKZENT line, which is a complete range of products for wood flooring and surfaces and is made using environmentally-friendly raw materials.

 

STAUF WEP 180 is a multipurpose, solvent-free, dispersion-based, two-component epoxy resin primer that reinforces unstable substrates and significantly improves the strength of materials thanks to its extremely high level of penetration into mineral mortar systems. The primer has a short drying time and forms a film on the surface, which means that crumbling screeds can be ‘rescued’ very quickly and easily. STAUF WEP 180 can also be used as a dispersion-based, two-component epoxy resin primer on cement screeds with a higher residual moisture content of up to 4 CM%. Furthermore, it is suitable for direct bonding with

almost all reactive adhesives and, after being sprinkled with silica sand or having an intermediate primer coat of STAUF VDP 160 applied, it can be filled or plastered over.

 

With the introduction of the AKZENT product line, STAUF has revitalised its range of surface treatments. By making modifications, STAUF was able to achieve significantly better product properties for practically all the surface treatment products and to ensure simpler handling at the same time. For users and customers, this means a perceptible added value in comparison to previous products.
