maxit - Pumpable Self-Levelling Marine Floor Screeds and Flooring Systems

maxit is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the maxit Group, which is Europe's leading manufacturer and supplier of materials and solutions to the building and marine industry. The maxit Group is a part of the worldwide operating building materials group SaintGobain.

Fire-insulated ship floors

maxit supplies functional and durable floors specified for ships requiring fire insulating constructions with non-combustible materials, sound insulating constructions, primary deck coverings, and more. Floors for marine applications are subject to extreme stresses, such as knocks, vibrations and tremors, and shrinkage and failure to adhere are common industry problems.

By installing a maxit marine floor you avoid these issues. The decisive benefits of the maxit range of marine solutions are the efficient properties of the solutions – speed of application and access.

Pumpable ship floors

The maxit range of products is pumpable, reducing the time needed for screeding, thus ensuring installation of primary deck covering at 300m²/hr to 500m²/hr that is walkable after one to three hours. Floor covering can be laid after just one to three days.

Pumpable ship floor screeds

The maxit Premix range leads the world in production of pumpable cementitious self-levelling floor screeds.

maxit marine flooring systems are built layer by layer to provide the optimum solution for each individual client's requirement. Pumpable self-levelling floor screeds allow you to achieve the flattest, smoothest and thinnest floors possible, performing to exact standards even in highly demanding environments. They are pre-mixed at the manufacturing plant, and boast the following benefits:

• Factory blending to ensure consistent quality
• Machine mixing, guaranteeing optimum consistency
• Choice of delivery in bags, bulk or pump trucks
• Pumpable form to minimise downtime and enhance ergonomics
• Rapid drying time, meaning floors are walkable after one to three hours
• High strength / low thickness mix to minimise loss of floor to ceiling height
• Self-compacting and self-levelling; ready to surface finish after one to three days
• Marine flooring systems only installed by accredited maxit contractors

maxit marine primary deck covering

maxit marine primary deck covering features flexible, durable pumped screed systems for steel decking with a low constructional height. The fresh surface can be smoothed gently with a toothed spatula to give a perfectly smooth surface.

maxit marine A-60 floor

This system is DNV A-60 approved and recommended for ship installations requiring fire-insulating constructions where the material must be non-combustible according to IMO rules.

It is composed of three layers: 50mm of Rockwool Firebatts 150 (nominal density 150kg/m³); a steel reinforcement net of 5mm in diameter and a grid of 150mm x 150mm; and 25mm of maxit 4665 marine fire floor.

maxit marine light DB-floor

The maxit marine light DB-floor is a flexible, durable pumped screed system for steel decks, with low constructional height and structure borne sound insulation. It is composed of a 1.3mm layer of visco-elastic (ACM from Swedac), and a 15mm maxit 4660 floor marine elastic levelling compound.

maxit marine DB-floor

The maxit marine DB-floor is recommended for ships and oil platforms requiring sound-insulating constructions.
