Material Composition

 

Traditional terrazzo uses Portland cement or white cement as a binder, mixed with aggregates such as crushed stone, glass, and quartz, and then ground and polished to create a surface. Epoxy terrazzo uses a modified epoxy resin as a binder, allowing it to incorporate a wider variety of aggregates (such as natural marble and quartz) and achieve seamless integration.

 

Performance

Crack Resistance: Epoxy terrazzo's tough polymer material reduces the risk of cracking in temperature fluctuations. Traditional terrazzo, due to its high coefficient of expansion, is susceptible to cracking due to thermal expansion and contraction.

 

Stain Resistance: Epoxy terrazzo's dense surface resists stains and is easy to clean and maintain. Traditional terrazzo's porous structure easily accumulates stains and requires regular crystallization.

 

Wear Resistance: Epoxy terrazzo offers excellent compressive and flexural strength, with a service life of up to 10 years. Traditional terrazzo is prone to sanding and cracking, and lacks durability under frequent use. ‌

 

Color Performance‌: Epoxy terrazzo uses color paste to create richer, more vibrant colors; traditional terrazzo relies on pigments, resulting in a monotonous color. ‌

 

Applicable Scenarios

 

Epoxy terrazzo is suitable for high-end commercial spaces (such as shopping malls and hotels) due to its high decorative properties and durability. Traditional terrazzo, being economical, is often used in public facilities such as schools and hospitals.

Epoxy terrazzo is an upgraded version of terrazzo, also known as organic terrazzo. It uses epoxy resin as a binder and is mixed with aggregates such as glass, shells, and gemstones.

Materials and Processes Material composition: Modified epoxy resin is used as the binder, with a wider range of aggregate options (such as jade, quartz, etc.), and a seamless surface is formed through fine grinding and polishing. Construction process: It requires complex processes such as primer coating, aggregate spreading, curing and multiple polishing steps. The finished product has high flatness and bright colors.

Performance advantages：

1. Decorativeness: It supports stepless color matching and personalized pattern design, with a glossiness close to a mirror effect and strong artistic expression.
2. Durability: It is resistant to pressure, wear and chemical corrosion, with a service life of more than 10 years and is not easy to crack or discolor.
3. Easy maintenance: The dense surface is highly resistant to stains, easy to clean, and suitable for places with high hygiene requirements.
4. Application scenarios: It is mainly used in high-end commercial spaces (such as hotels, shopping malls, and exhibition halls). It is not suitable for outdoor use and is mostly used for interior decoration.
