Key Technical Parameters
Summary of parameters that determine the durability of the floor.
| Parameter | Terrazzo Exclusive (Epoxy) | Mineral Modified | Mineral Classic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Impact resistance | IR20 ✅ | Possible splintering ⚠️ | Chipping, cracking ❌ |
| Compressive strength | 104.1 MPa ✅ | 50-100 MPa ✅ | 40 MPa (C40) ⚠️ |
| Absorbability / Stains | 0.0 (Tight) ✅ | Absorbs like a sponge ❌ | Highly absorbent ❌ |
| Salt resistance | Full ✅ | Degradation ❌ | Degradation ❌ |
| Requires a layer of resin | NO ✅ | YES (Necessary) ❌ | YES (Necessary) ❌ |
Parameter Analysis Endurance
Comparison of key mechanical results. Note the time to obtain full parameters: system Exclusive reaches maximum strength after only 7 days, while mineral systems require a full cycle 28 days.
Probability Transfers Fig.
The chart shows the degree of safety of the structure against reflected cracks (transfer of cracks from the substrate to the terrazzo surface).
System Exclusive thanks to its extreme tensile strength (33.1 MPa) and bending (29.4 MPa) is many times less prone to cracking than brittle mineral systems, which are subject to cracking at the slightest movement of the object.
Exclusive system: maximum security in the settlement of the object.
Absorbability and Hygiene
Mineral systems (classic and modified) without resin layering absorb liquids like a sponge. Terrazzo Exclusive (epoxy matrix) has a natural resistance to chemical aggression according to DWU.002.2022.
NOTE: Mineral systems in contact with salt or acids without a layer of resin are subject to irreversible degradation and pitting.
FINAL ANALYSIS
Terrazzo Exclusive (epoxy matrix) outclasses other systems in terms of mechanical strength and chemical resistance. Its zero absorption and bending performance make it an unbeatable solution where maintenance-free, hygienic and minimal construction weight are important. Mineral systems are a visual alternative, but require conscious and regular maintenance to maintain their protective properties.
