Dorfner-Firmengruppe

Dorfner invented additive systems for industrial and commercial flooring, and it continues to set the standard

The market speaks Dorfner

When you are talking about industrial and commercial flooring, you soon realize that the expectations of customers, architects, flooring installers and users are all focused on the same set of goals: durability in every sense of the term, attractive design, workability and low cost. For more than 30 years, the basic filler materials and formulated additive systems for self-leveling screeds and trowel-finish screeds from Dorfner have been the byword for quality, progress and economy in this segment.
On millions of square meters of flooring, Dorfner DORSILIT®, DORSIMIX®, GRANUCOL®, MELADUR® and DORSIDUR® brand filler materials provide not only grip and durability for industrial and commercial flooring, but they also offer the outstanding designs and attractive color schemes required to satisfy the discerning aesthetic requirements of consumers.

In a class of our own

Our success is based on our special quartz, which we produce as a raw material in our own open-pit mine and then refine into a top-quality, high-performance quartz through a series of special processes. As DORSILIT® quartz sand, it enjoys an excellent reputation in the market as the main component of hydraulically set or synthetic resin bonded industrial flooring. DORSILIT® brand quartz is very hard and - in contrast to many standard types of quartz - extremely pure and almost free of unwanted mineral impurities like feldspar spots. The basic color of DORSILIT® is very bright compared to our rivals' products – i.e. uniformly light gray. The round grain shape of our quartz particles allow them to roll on each other. This is a very advantageous property in terms of flow characteristics, and it reduces the amount of effort required to work with floor compounds which contain our filler materials.

Product evolution based on the Dorfner slipping grain principle

Thanks to their unique morphology and Dorfner’s slipping grain principle, our quartz products can be packed extremely tightly in all standard binders. The result: a significant increase in strength with a simultaneous minimization of binder consumption – something which can only be achieved thanks to our sophisticated sieving and refining processes. For years, our formulated filler material systems have been the product of choice in the flooring industry for applications where there is a need for maximum mechanical strength or very thin coatings.

For brand designers and trendsetters

Design and Corporate Identity from the bottom up? Of course, this starts with the flooring. Distinctive color designs, structured surfaces and ornate designs are the current trends. Across the entire spectrum ranging from public institutions and private clinics to the point-of-sale showrooms displaying top brands, builders and architects are looking for new design freedom which allows them to turn their ideas into reality and give customers what they really want. With our wide range of colored quartz sand, quartz sand blends and custom colors, we can offer designers a virtually unlimited palette of design options. On any project, we can also provide design expertise support which is surely unrivalled in the marketplace.
