Quick and Efficient Floor Renovation
Renovation or Installation of a New Floor in Just a Few Hours
The MC-DUR TopSpeed system allows for industrial floor repairs and surface protection within a few hours. The surface becomes water-resistant after just 30 minutes, walkable after 2 hours, and fully loadable after 48 hours.
Weather-Independent Application
Thanks to the innovative MC-DUR TopSpeed coating, quick application is possible even under challenging environmental conditions, such as low temperatures from 2°C and high humidity. This coating is characterized by exceptional mechanical strength and high resistance to various chemicals and cleaning agents.
How Does the MC-DUR TopSpeed System Work?
The system utilizes ambient or substrate moisture to accelerate the curing reaction. This ensures excellent adhesion to common substrates such as concrete and screeds, along with maximum resistance to abrasion and scratches.
MC-DUR TopSpeed is also safe to use in high temperatures of up to 35°C, making it ideal for both hot summer months and cold winter conditions.

MC-DUR TopSpeed in the Food Industry
The MC-DUR TopSpeed system enables the creation of anti-slip, colorful resin-quartz floors, ideal for food industry applications. The MC-DUR TopSpeed M coating, available in a matte finish, can be applied to highly rough surfaces in a single operation, significantly speeding up the application process.
Tailored Flooring Projects with MC-DUR TopSpeed
Decorative Floor Finishes: Matte and Glossy Options
Matte resin floors are gaining popularity over glossy finishes because scratches and minor dents are less visible on matte surfaces. Historically, achieving high-quality matte finishes required extensive labor. Traditional water-based matting emulsions could only be applied in thin layers, while thicker layers struggled to cure properly, necessitating multiple applications, particularly for sealing rough surfaces.
The MC-DUR TopSpeed system simplifies this process, offering efficient and high-quality solutions for both matte and glossy finishes.
MC-DUR TopSpeed M: Effective Solution
MC-DUR TopSpeed M addresses the challenges of applying a matte finish by enabling larger quantities to be applied in a single operation, combining sealing and matting. This is especially beneficial for rough surfaces.
Advantages of MC-DUR TopSpeed M:
- Easy Application: Can be applied using a hard rubber trowel or roller on surfaces with decorative flakes or quartz sand.
- Quick Sealing: Efficient and rapid sealing of anti-slip floors and floors with decorative flakes.
- High Durability: Exceptional mechanical and chemical resistance.
MC-DUR TopSpeed T: Glossy Finish
For those preferring a glossy finish, MC-DUR TopSpeed T is the ideal solution. It delivers a glossy layer in a single operation, enabling the embedding of flakes and quartz sand, which are then sealed in an elegant, glossy finish.
MC-DUR TopSpeed SC: Multifunctional Base for Priming and Repairs
Advantages of MC-DUR TopSpeed SC:
- Allows mineral additives for filling.
- Short intercoat intervals.
- Application in adverse weather conditions.
- Quick floor loadability.
MC-DUR TopSpeed SC is a special low-viscosity transparent resin that acts as a bridge between the prepared substrate and the floor coating. This versatile product allows cracks to be repaired, surfaces to be leveled, and primed within hours using a single material. As a universal reactive resin, it serves as both a primer and a leveling or repair mortar when mixed with sand. It can be applied across the entire surface or for spot repairs, enabling efficient and rapid preparation of substrates for durable flooring.
Key Features of MC-DUR TopSpeed SC:
- Quick Repairs: Cracks and irregularities can be fixed within a few hours.
- Versatile Application: Functions as both a primer and a leveling or repair mortar.
- Fast Completion: Repaired and leveled substrates can be coated with a top layer after just 2 hours.
- Time-Saving: Eliminates long waiting times associated with traditional mineral mortars or resin materials.
Resin Balcony Screeds: Durable and Stylish Flooring Solution
Finishing a balcony or terrace floor requires the right approach to ensure durability, water resistance, and an appealing aesthetic. Resin screeds offer a perfect solution, combining protection, durability, and a visually appealing finish for years to come.
Advantages of Resin Balcony Coatings
Resin balcony coatings come with a host of benefits, primarily protecting concrete substrates. They enhance structural integrity, providing resistance to water, freezing, and thawing. Additionally, resin-coated surfaces are easy to clean, UV-stable, and resistant to mechanical damage.
Strengthening Balcony Floors with Resin Coatings
Resin coatings reinforce mineral concrete substrates by penetrating and crystallizing within the surface. Products like MC-Bauchemie's MC-Dur or MC-Floor TopSpeed strengthen concrete, improving resistance to mechanical damage, water ingress, and freezing. Resin screeds create a cohesive and sealed surface, providing added durability to balcony floors.
Aesthetic Appeal of Resin Coated Floors
Beyond functionality, resin balcony floors offer a visually striking finish. MC-Bauchemie provides colored screeds in a wide range of RAL shades. The addition of sand, fine aggregate, or decorative flakes allows customization, giving your balcony a unique style.
Steps to Apply a Resin Screed
Applying a resin screed is straightforward and can be done by following these steps:
- Surface Preparation:
- Remove cement laitance, clean, and dust the surface thoroughly.
- If applying over tiles or old screeds, roughen the surface and apply a suitable primer.
- Priming:
- Select the primer based on the chosen resin screed type and apply it evenly.
- Mixing:
- Mechanically mix the resin components with any additives, adhering strictly to the proportions and time specified in the technical data sheet.
- Application:
- Spread the resin evenly over the prepared substrate using a paint roller or notched trowel.
- For optimal leveling, use a spiked roller to remove air bubbles.
- Curing:
- Allow the resin to cure fully. Curing time depends on balcony size, layer thickness, and weather conditions.
Preparing the Balcony for Resin Coating
Preparation is critical for a long-lasting finish. Ensure the substrate is clean and structurally sound. The preparation process may vary based on the condition of the balcony floor. A clean and primed substrate ensures a strong bond for the resin screed.
Applying the Resin Coating
Resin screeds are applied in thin layers. On even substrates, a few millimeters suffice, while uneven surfaces may require multiple layers. The first layer is applied after priming, followed by additional layers before the previous layer cures fully.
If additional layers are applied after the previous layer has fully cured, the surface must be re-prepared by roughening and priming, adhering to the technical guidelines for intercoat intervals.
Resin Balcony Screeds: A Comprehensive Solution
Resin screeds offer an effective and aesthetically pleasing solution for balcony flooring. Their durability, resistance, and ability to withstand weather conditions make them ideal for both functional and decorative applications.
