MC-Floor 11
Two-Component Epoxy Self-Levelling Floor Coating for Seamless, Chemical-Resistant Industrial Floors
Authorized Project Distributor — MC-Bauchemie India | Space Arc Engineering, Ghaziabad
Product Overview
MC-Floor 11 is a two-component, solventless (low-VOC), epoxy self-levelling floor coating system from MC-Bauchemie formulated for application as a seamless, hard, chemically resistant floor finish 2 to 3 mm thick over prepared concrete substrates in industrial, pharmaceutical, food processing, and commercial building applications. The self-levelling characteristic of MC-Floor 11 derives from its low initial mixed viscosity (1,000 to 3,000 mPa.s) which allows the freshly mixed material to flow under gravity across the substrate, finding its own level and producing a perfectly flat, seamless, mirror-smooth surface when applied by serrated squeegee and de-aeration roller. This self-levelling flow eliminates the trowel marks and surface texture variations inherent in trowel-applied materials, producing the uniform, joint-free floor surface required in pharmaceutical GMP facilities, food processing cleanrooms, and electronics manufacturing environments where floor hygiene, cleanability, and freedom from dust-retaining surface texture are critical. After curing, MC-Floor 11 forms a hard, rigid, chemically resistant epoxy matrix that provides excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals encountered in Indian industrial environments: mineral acids (dilute hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric), alkalis (sodium hydroxide, ammonia), organic solvents (ketones, esters, alcohols at moderate concentrations), and petroleum products (diesel, lubricating oils, hydraulic fluids). The hardness and compressive strength of the cured epoxy system (compressive strength typically above 70 MPa) provide excellent resistance to point loading from industrial foot traffic, pallet trucks, forklift tyres, and mechanical plant. The seamless surface — no joints, grout lines, or tile edges — eliminates the harbourage points for bacteria, cleaning chemicals, and food residues that are inherent in tiled and grouted floors, making MC-Floor 11 a preferred floor finish in FSSAI-regulated food facilities and WHO-GMP pharmaceutical plants. Space Arc Engineering supplies MC-Floor 11 for industrial flooring contractors, pharmaceutical plant developers, food processing facility builders, and warehouse floor renovation specialists across Ghaziabad, Delhi NCR, Noida, and Uttar Pradesh.

Frequently Asked Questions
What substrate preparation, primer, and application procedure is required for a successful MC-Floor 11 epoxy self-levelling floor installation in a new pharmaceutical plant in Ghaziabad, and what are the most common causes of epoxy floor failure in India that should be avoided?
A successful MC-Floor 11 epoxy self-levelling installation in a pharmaceutical plant in Ghaziabad requires meticulous attention to four critical factors: substrate preparation quality, substrate moisture content, primer selection and application, and mixing and application procedure in hot Indian weather. Substrate preparation is the single most important factor in epoxy floor longevity: the most common cause of premature epoxy floor failure in India is adhesive failure at the concrete-epoxy interface due to inadequate surface preparation, residual laitance, or contamination, and no amount of high-quality epoxy material will compensate for a poorly prepared substrate. The concrete floor slab must achieve the following conditions before epoxy application: minimum 28-day compressive strength of 25 MPa (M25) and minimum 50 mm slab thickness; surface laitance, curing compounds, release agents, oils, and any existing coatings completely removed by diamond grinding or shot blasting (minimum ICRI CSP 3 to CSP 5 surface profile); concrete moisture content measured at the surface below 4 percent by mass (tested with a moisture meter or the plastic sheet test) or within the tolerance specified for the primer system. In a new pharmaceutical plant construction in Ghaziabad, the concrete floor slab is typically placed 3 to 6 months before the flooring contractor arrives, and if the slab was placed during the monsoon season (June to September) or if the building was not fully enclosed before flooring work began, residual moisture in the slab can be a significant issue. Ground-bearing slabs on soil in Ghaziabad and the Delhi NCR region often have persistent moisture rising through the slab from capillary moisture in the subsoil (especially in areas with shallow water table or clay-rich subsoil), and if the slab does not have an adequate damp-proof membrane (DPM) below it, moisture vapour transmission through the slab can cause osmotic pressure to build under the epoxy coating and cause blistering or delamination weeks to months after installation. For new pharmaceutical plant floors where substrate moisture is a concern, a two-coat moisture-tolerant epoxy primer system (MC-Pox 1K moisture-tolerant primer followed by a barrier primer) should be specified rather than standard solventless epoxy primer. Primer application: after surface preparation and moisture check, apply the recommended primer coat (one or two coats depending on concrete porosity and moisture content) at the specified coverage rate by roller or squeegee. Allow the primer to cure to tack-free stage before applying the MC-Floor 11 self-levelling coat — do not allow the primer to fully cure to a hard, non-tacky surface before overcoating, as this reduces the bond between primer and self-levelling coat. Mixing and application: always mix the two components of MC-Floor 11 (Component A resin and Component B hardener) in the correct ratio (by weight or volume as specified on the data sheet) using a slow-speed drill mixer (200 to 400 rpm) for 3 minutes until perfectly homogeneous. In Indian summer conditions (ambient temperature above 30 degrees C), the pot life of the mixed epoxy will be significantly shorter than the 30 to 45 minutes at 23 degrees C stated in the European data sheet — at 35 to 40 degrees C, pot life may be as short as 15 to 20 minutes. Plan accordingly: pre-cool components in a shaded area, mix smaller batches, and schedule application in early morning or evening when ambient temperature is lower. Pour the mixed material onto the primed substrate and spread by serrated or notched squeegee to achieve the target 2 to 3 mm thickness, then immediately pass over the poured area with a spiked de-aeration roller (spike roller) to release entrapped air bubbles before the material begins to gel. The spike roller must be used within 5 to 10 minutes of pouring — after gel onset, rolling will disrupt the levelled surface rather than release air. The most common causes of epoxy floor failure in Indian conditions are: (1) high substrate moisture causing osmotic blistering — prevent with moisture vapour barrier primer; (2) inadequate surface preparation leaving laitance or contamination — prevent with thorough diamond grinding; (3) epoxy applied in hot conditions exceeding 35 degrees C substrate temperature — causing premature gel, pinholes, and poor flow; (4) incorrect mixing ratio of two components — causing incomplete cure, soft sticky surface, or greasy surface film (amine blush); (5) application over green concrete (less than 28 days) — causing ongoing shrinkage microcracking under the epoxy.
