DORSICOAT® – the first low-dust filler for flooring installation
The flooring industry has been using Dorfner quartz sand for many years with very good results. Hundreds of millions of square meters of industrial and commercial flooring have been installed using these mainstream products. Dorfner has now unveiled something totally new: the innovative DORSICOAT® product range. DORSICOAT® coated quartz sand and sand blends are used as fillers in resinous floor coatings.
Why DORSICOAT® is so special
The elimination of dust and the resulting improvement in occupational safety on site are the new features which really set DORSICOAT® fillers apart. They make the work a whole lot easier for the installation team, which in itself is a big advantage. However, there is another big reason why it makes good sense for flooring contractors to use DORSICOAT®. The elimination of surface defects caused by dust inclusions enhances the quality of the coating. Follow this link to learn more about DORSICOAT®.

GRANUCOL® CONDUCT
Dorfner is an innovation leader in conductive fillers. GRANUCOL® CONDUCT is used in resinous flooring where it fulfills a number of vital functions. GRANUCOL® CONDUCT is based on quartz sand. It is actually an insulator which Dorfner then coats with a conductive layer that contains color pigments as well. The quartz sand core is the structural component which gives the floor coating its mechanical strength. The conductive layer prevents electrostatic discharge and the colors in the GRANUCOL® CONDUCT MIX blends give the flooring its attractive appearance.
GRANUCOL® CONDUCT is used in many sectors of industry
GRANUCOL® CONDUCT is the key constituent in conductive resinous flooring, and it is used in many sectors of industry. GRANUCOL® CONDUCT fillers are always the first choice when ESD protection, high mechanical strength, good resistance to chemical exposure and an attractive appearance are all essential in industrial flooring applications. Prior to installation of the conductive flooring, it is essential to carefully evaluate the multi-layer design of the flooring system. It must be determined whether GRANUCOL® CONDUCT or GRANUCOL® CONDUCT MIX are compatible with the resin system to ensure sufficient conductivity. Dorfner has the necessary expertise in conductive flooring systems and provides advice and support to all companies involved on large projects.
