Product Overview

MC-Floor SL is a two-component, solvent-free epoxy self-levelling floor system from MC-Bauchemie comprising a bisphenol A or bisphenol F epoxy resin (Component A) and an amine or cycloaliphatic amine hardener (Component B) mixed in the specified ratio and poured onto the prepared concrete substrate, where the low viscosity of the freshly mixed material allows it to flow to a self-level under gravity, producing a smooth, flat, glass-like finish at 2 to 4 mm application thickness without any troweling or mechanical spreading beyond the initial notched squeegee distribution. The self-levelling mechanism is the defining characteristic: the epoxy resin system is formulated at a viscosity of 500 to 1500 mPas at 25 degrees Celsius — low enough to flow and level under gravity over a properly prepared flat substrate within the pot life window (45 to 60 minutes at 25 degrees Celsius) — producing a surface flatness of ± 2 to 3 mm over a 2-metre straightedge that no trowel-applied system can match. This combination of self-levelling flatness, seamless application, and epoxy chemical resistance makes MC-Floor SL the standard floor specification for: pharmaceutical clean rooms and controlled manufacturing areas (GMP Grade D to Grade A) where the floor specification calls for a smooth, impervious, chemical-resistant surface; electronics assembly and testing laboratories where electrostatic dissipative (ESD) or anti-static floor performance is required (ESD variant formulations available); food processing and beverage production areas of moderate hygiene requirement where the floor must be steam-cleanable, fat and acid-resistant, and hygienic but does not face the heavy mechanical traffic that would require the full 6 mm three-component mortar system (MC-Floor 3K); laboratories and research facilities requiring a cleanable, chemical-resistant floor that presents a professional aesthetic. Space Arc Engineering supplies MC-Floor SL for industrial flooring applicators, pharmaceutical facility contractors, and cleanroom fit-out specialists across Ghaziabad, Delhi NCR, Noida, and Uttar Pradesh.

Applications

  • Pharmaceutical GMP manufacturing floor finish — applying MC-Floor SL as the finished floor surface in tablet manufacturing, injectable filling, and API synthesis areas of pharmaceutical plants regulated under Schedule M and WHO GMP guidelines, where the smooth seamless surface meets the impervious, cleanable, non-shedding floor requirements and the chemical resistance satisfies the range of cleaning and disinfection agents used in pharmaceutical facility cleaning protocols
  • Electronics and semiconductor assembly cleanroom floors — installing MC-Floor SL in cleanroom and controlled environment areas of electronics assembly, PCB manufacturing, and semiconductor processing facilities where the self-levelling smooth surface minimises particle trap areas and, when formulated as an ESD (electrostatic dissipative) grade, provides the required electrical resistance range (10 to the 6 to 10 to the 9 ohms per square) to prevent static discharge damage to sensitive electronic components
  • Food and beverage processing area floors (moderate duty) — applying MC-Floor SL in food manufacturing areas of moderate mechanical duty (packaging halls, mixing rooms, bakery production, dairy processing) where the floor must be: steam-cleanable at 60 to 70 degrees Celsius; resistant to vegetable oils, sugars, organic acids (lactic, acetic, citric), and alkaline CIP cleaning agents; seamless and hygienic; and economically specified at 2 to 3 mm rather than the higher-cost 6 mm mortar required only for heavy forklift traffic areas
  • Laboratory and research facility floors — completing the floor in analytical chemistry, quality control, and research and development laboratory spaces where chemical resistance to laboratory reagents, organic solvents, and acid and alkali spills is required combined with a smooth, professional-appearance floor surface appropriate for a laboratory environment
  • Hospital and healthcare facility floor finish — applying MC-Floor SL in hospital procedure rooms, operating theatre ancillary areas, sterilisation rooms, and clinical laboratory spaces where the smooth, seamless, chemically resistant surface supports infection control protocols and the hygienic floor cleaning requirements of healthcare facilities regulated under NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals) standards in India
  • Warehouse and distribution centre floor upgrade — applying MC-Floor SL over existing concrete warehouse floors to provide a dust-free, easy-clean, visually bright floor surface for temperature-controlled and cold chain distribution facilities, pharmaceutical warehousing, and high-care food storage areas where the bare concrete floor is inadequate for the hygiene or cleanliness standard required

Key Advantages

  • Self-levelling application — low-viscosity epoxy flows to a smooth, flat, glass-like finish under gravity without troweling — produces surface flatness of plus or minus 2 to 3 mm over 2 metres that no trowel-applied system can match — the defining quality advantage for applications requiring a perfectly flat, smooth floor surface for trolley movement, precision equipment installation, and aesthetic specification
  • Seamless, pore-free hygienic surface — continuous application with no tile or sheet joints creates a floor with no bacterial harbourage — a fundamental hygiene requirement for GMP pharmaceutical, food processing, and healthcare floor specifications — chemical and steam cleaning reaches all areas of the floor without the joint and grout-line contamination risk of tiled floors
  • Solvent-free formulation — zero VOC emission during application and curing — no solvent odour contamination of pharmaceuticals or food products being manufactured in adjacent areas — meets workplace exposure limits for enclosed cleanroom and food plant installation — essential for pharmaceutical and food facility floor installation compliance
  • Chemical resistance to pharmaceutical and food cleaning agents — cured epoxy is resistant to IPA disinfectants, NaOH CIP cleaning agents, hydrogen peroxide sanitisers, organic acids, vegetable fats and oils, and the full range of cleaning and sanitising chemicals used in Indian pharmaceutical and food manufacturing facilities
  • Adjustable gloss and slip resistance — standard self-levelling surface is high-gloss smooth — anti-slip aggregate can be broadcast into the wet surface to achieve the required slip resistance (PTV pendulum test value appropriate for wet areas in food and pharmaceutical facilities) without compromising chemical resistance or cleanability
  • Compatible with full MC-Floor system — MC-Floor SL is designed for application over MC-Floor 2K EP epoxy primer (providing the critical substrate seal and adhesion bond) and topped with MC-Floor PU aliphatic polyurethane topcoat (optional — for enhanced UV stability and scratch resistance in areas with fluorescent or UV lighting exposure)

Frequently Asked Questions

A pharmaceutical facility manager in Noida is specifying floor systems for a new WHO-GMP formulation building — the building has three zones with different floor requirements: Zone 1 is the primary granulation and tableting manufacturing area (heavy trolley and forklift traffic, frequent caustic and acid CIP cleaning); Zone 2 is the quality control laboratory and analysts area (light foot traffic, chemical reagent and solvent spills); Zone 3 is the finished goods storage and dispatch warehouse (medium pallet truck traffic, ambient temperature storage, cleanliness requirement only) — what are the appropriate MC-Floor system specifications for each zone and why?

Three-zone specification for a WHO-GMP pharmaceutical formulation facility requires matching the floor system specification precisely to the mechanical and chemical duty of each zone — over-specification wastes capital expenditure, and under-specification leads to floor failure and GMP compliance risk. Here is the zone-by-zone specification rationale. Zone 1 — Granulation and tableting manufacturing area: this is the highest duty zone with heavy trolley and forklift traffic plus frequent caustic and acid CIP cleaning. Specification: MC-Floor 3K three-component epoxy mortar system at 5 to 6 mm nominal thickness over MC-Floor 2K EP primer, finished with MC-Floor PU aliphatic topcoat. Rationale: the 5 to 6 mm aggregate-reinforced mortar matrix is required because: (a) solid rubber tyre forklift traffic at 3 to 5 tonne capacity creates point loads at the wheel contact that a 2 to 3 mm self-levelling coating cannot sustain without cracking — the mortar aggregate skeleton distributes these point loads safely; (b) concentrated CIP chemicals (1 to 2 percent NaOH, 0.5 to 1 percent HNO3) in frequent contact at the floor surface during clean-in-place cycles require the deep chemical reservoir of the full mortar thickness — a thin coating system may be penetrated by the chemical over 2 to 3 years of frequent CIP cycling, leading to adhesion loss at the primer-concrete interface; (c) the GMP compliance risk of a floor failure in the primary manufacturing area (requiring a shutdown for floor repair) is unacceptably high — the MC-Floor 3K system, with its 15 to 25 year service life expectation, avoids this risk. Slope to drain in Zone 1: 1 in 60 (1.67 percent) minimum to ensure CIP cleaning water and chemical spillage drains freely — build slopes in the screed layer below the epoxy mortar. Zone 2 — Quality control laboratory and analysts area: this is a medium-duty zone with light foot traffic and occasional chemical reagent and solvent spills (organic solvents such as acetone, methanol, ethanol; concentrated acids and alkalis in small volumes from analytical work). Specification: MC-Floor SL two-component epoxy self-levelling system at 2.5 to 3 mm over MC-Floor 2K EP primer, with anti-slip aggregate broadcast (medium grade, PTV greater than 36 for wet-area classification) and MC-Floor PU topcoat. Rationale: the laboratory requires the smooth, flat, seamless self-levelling surface for aesthetic quality and cleanability — the self-levelling flatness (plus or minus 2 to 3 mm over 2 metres) ensures that analytical instrument installations are on a perfectly flat reference plane; the chemical resistance of the epoxy self-levelling system covers the full range of laboratory reagents, organic solvents, and spill chemicals encountered in a QC laboratory; the 2.5 to 3 mm thickness is sufficient for the light foot-traffic mechanical duty in the laboratory (no forklifts or heavy trolleys in the laboratory area). The anti-slip broadcast is important because the smooth self-levelling surface can be slippery when wet from spill cleanups — specify anti-slip in all laboratory and wet-process areas. Zone 3 — Finished goods storage and dispatch warehouse: this is a medium-duty zone with pallet truck traffic and ambient temperature storage — the specification requirement is a dust-free, cleanable, professional-appearance surface with sufficient mechanical durability for pallet truck operation. Specification: MC-Floor 2K EP two-component epoxy sealer-primer at 150 to 250 micron DFT, overcoated with a single-component polyurethane or high-build epoxy floor paint at 100 to 150 micron DFT (2 coats) to produce a total floor coating of approximately 350 to 500 micron. Rationale: a warehouse floor for finished goods pharmaceutical storage does not face CIP chemical cleaning, heavy forklift loads, or aggressive contamination — the lighter coating system (total 350 to 500 micron) provides a dust-free, cleanable, professional floor at a fraction of the cost of a full mortar or self-levelling system; the GMP risk in the warehouse is minimal because finished goods in sealed packaging are not contaminated by minor floor coating wear; specifying MC-Floor 3K or MC-Floor SL in the warehouse would be a significant over-specification expenditure with no regulatory or operational benefit. Summary: Zone 1 — MC-Floor 3K at 6 mm (manufacturing areas with heavy traffic and aggressive CIP); Zone 2 — MC-Floor SL at 3 mm (laboratory with light traffic and chemical spill resistance); Zone 3 — MC-Floor 2K EP sealer plus PU topcoat at 400 micron total (warehouse with dust-free cleanable surface only).
