The technical insight

The product’s 2:1:1 resin : colour-paste : hardener ratio and 60-90 minute pot life at 25°C matter more on Indian sites than the datasheet numbers suggest — Delhi summer slab temperatures routinely push past the 35°C ceiling MC-Bauchemie sets for application, so early-morning or night application is often the only workable window. At 75 microns dry film thickness per coat and roughly 130 g/m² coverage, this is a sealing coating, not a wear-topping screed: two coats build a chemical-resistant film, not load-bearing thickness, which is why heavy forklift or trolley traffic is better served by MC-Bauchemie’s thicker MC-Floor or MC-DUR self-levelling ranges.

Where it is used

• Multi-level and basement car parking decks and ramps
• Automobile service bays, workshops and car-wash floors
• Petrol pump and fuel-station forecourts
• Chemical and pharmaceutical plant production floors
• Dairy, brewery, food-processing and bottling-plant floors
• Warehouse and light-industrial floors needing a dust-free, washable surface
• Steel walkways, platforms and machine bases (with MC Dur ZKE primer)

Key advantages

• High abrasion resistance with a smooth, seamless, easy-to-clean finish
• Resists diesel, petrol, dilute acids, alkalis and many organic solvents
• Good adhesion to both concrete and steel substrates
• Simple two-coat brush/roller application — no specialist trowel crew needed
• Reaches Shore D >20 within 7 days and full cure in 7 days at 20°C
• Available in custom shades, useful for zoning, safety marking or branding
• Part of a compatible MC-DUR primer-to-topcoat system (MC-DUR EP Primer / MC Dur ZKE)

Limitations & considerations

• Solvent-based — noticeable odour during application and cure; needs ventilation and is not suited to occupied indoor spaces while curing
• Narrow application window: substrate/ambient temperature must stay between 10°C and 30°C, and work must stop once the surface exceeds 35°C
• Thin coating (75 microns/coat), not a structural screed — unsuitable for heavy forklift or trolley traffic without a thicker MC-DUR/MC-Floor system
• Demands strict substrate prep — concrete below 25 N/mm² compressive strength or 1.5 N/mm² pull-off will compromise adhesion
• Short 60-90 minute pot life at 25°C limits batch size in Indian summer heat
• Cleanup requires MC-Thinner EP; water or water-based cleaners cannot be used

Industry use cases

How we position MC-Bauchemie MC-DUR 115-IN

Within MC-Bauchemie’s own range, MC-DUR 115-IN is the general-purpose coating tier — lighter and less expensive than the self-levelling MC-DUR 1105/1110/1120-SL-IN systems, and always paired with MC-DUR EP Primer or MC Dur ZKE for a warrantied build-up. Where budget or brand-diversification requirements point elsewhere, Fosroc’s Nitoflor FC140 is a genuine like-for-like solvent-based epoxy coating; specifiers weighing the two typically decide on local technical support, primer compatibility with the existing floor system, and site-specific pricing rather than a meaningful performance gap.
