Sealant | What is sealant?

Flexovoss K6T is a sealant compound used to bond tiles or flagstones to the edge of a concrete slab at swimming pools. Flexovoss K6T is an odourless, solvent-free two-component sealant compound, which cures elastically and does not absorb water. It also elastically absorbs smaller cracks in the concrete, preventing slabs from freezing loose, as usually happens with cement mortar.

Sealing | What is sealing?

Sealing is applying a sealant, also called sealer, to a (porous) grout. Sealing serves both to protect against staining and to ensure that moisture does not penetrate the grout.

Silica filter | What is a silica filter?

The silica filter is a filter capable of removing the finest particles from the water. So-called coarse filters, which use gravel or plastic sponges, can only be effective when used in conjunction with flocculants (such as aluminium sulphate). These flocculants are stirred into the water and cause the fine, cloud-forming particles to clump together into larger lumps, so that they can be collected. Unfortunately, this is not always entirely successful, meaning that crystal-clear water can only be achieved using diatomaceous earth filters. Diatomaceous earth is the finest filter material capable of trapping very fine particles that cause cloudiness.

Silicone rubber | What is silicone rubber ?

Are with us 2-component self-dissolving rubbers. These come in two types: polycondensation or poly-addition silicones. for more info, see: https://v-sure.eu/products/silicones-additive/

Styrene | What is styrene?

The solvent present in all current polyester products. This strong-smelling material gives polyester its typical odour. We recommend always wearing a suitable protective mask with filter when working. To date, no effective cancerogenic hazard has been identified.

Surester | What is Surester?

Eco resin is a resin that contains no solvents whatsoever, and is therefore also styrene-free. It can be used in the same way as a standard polyester resin and requires the same MEKP hardener. This surester resin can be applied directly to EP foam without damaging it.
