Warsaw, March 12, 2024. - The Flowcrete brand, a leading resin flooring expert, is introducing new innovative materials and technologies for green building. The range of low-volatile organic compound (VOC) flooring systems, with the Indoor Air Comfort® Gold label, has just been expanded to include epoxy solutions from Flowcrete's LE (Low Emission) group. The brand's range of resin floors, which meet stringent air quality requirements, now includes coatings for all major applications - parking, multipurpose, decorative and industrial.

The Flowcrete brand is constantly developing its product portfolio to fully meet the needs of the construction market. The company manufactures and supplies both proven traditional technologies and innovative solutions for green building. In response to the challenges of sustainability, it is the first to launch a full range of resin floors built on solvent-free epoxy resins with low VOC emissions. These chemicals, abbreviated as VOCs, have a measurable impact on indoor air quality, and thus on the health and well-being of its users.
The new Flowcrete LE floors are systems designed for a variety of applications - multipurpose, industrial and decorative. They are low-emission versions of well-known and proven flooring solutions of the painted type (including Flowcoat SF41 LE thin-film coatings), poured (Peran SL LE), epoxy-quartz systems (Peran STB Public) and stone carpets (Rustik LE). Their durability parameters have been maintained at a similar level to their counterparts based on traditional technologies, while significantly improving color fastness under UV exposure. For this reason, they perform well in rooms with large glazing, such as representative lobbies or atriums in office buildings, shopping malls and other public buildings.

The low VOC emissions of Flowcrete's new LE range of epoxy floors have been certified as Indoor Air Comfort ® Gold. Our Deckshield ID parking lot coatings or Flowfresh hygienic flooring systems with active microbiological protection, among others, also have this mark. It is awarded by the Eurofins organization on the basis of regular testing of materials in laboratories and on-site audits. This means that the floors we produce meet the stringent air quality requirements of modern construction, both in Europe and around the world, including the emission limits indicated in environmental certification systems such as LEED, BREEAM New Construction, WELL, etc., as well as the European Union's taxonomy regulations.
With the introduction of Flowcrete LE epoxy flooring group, we are the only company in the market to offer a full range of resin systems for green building based on completely solvent-free solutions. Unlike popular water-based products on the market, this allows us to provide very high mechanical and chemical resistance - comparable to traditional VOC-containing epoxy materials," - explains Mikolaj Tokarski, European Product Manager at Tremco CPG, responsible for the development of the entire flooring category in Europe.

In addition to low VOC emissions,CO2 emissions and recyclability within a closed loop economy are also important for building materials. Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are available for all Flowcrete brand resin floors, providing detailed information on the carbon footprint of these technologies throughout their life cycle. In addition, resin flooring systems can be recycled at the end of their useful life. Once they are scraped together with the concrete to which they are permanently bonded, they can be used as a base for road construction, among other things.
Flowcrete is a leading brand of specialized, seamless resin flooring for industrial and decorative applications, offering world-class flooring solutions based on synthetic resins: epoxy, polyurethane, methacrylate and vinyl ester.
