A roller coat, Sikafloor®-2640 has been developed by the Sika team. This solution reduces yellowing during the service life of the product and stops blushing even under harsh conditions. The new amine also allows products to be developed with indoor air quality in mind, Sikafloor®-2640 has  extremely low emissions during its cure and subsequent use. This results in a low odour product, unlike conventional epoxy and ensures job sites aren't disrupted by nuisance odours. The product also cures quickly when compared with standard epoxies and can save the customer time and money allowing a faster return to service.

The new amines will allow a platform of epoxy products to be developed ranging from a roller coat, self leveller, clear top coat and ESD solutions.
