EPOXY B

DESCRIPTION:

E-Poxy B is a solvent-free, two component low viscosity epoxy resin system. The formulation allows for on site blending with selected fillers to produce epoxy mortars with a variety of consistencies. E-Poxy B is also used as a priming system on concrete substrates when using E’Poxy flooring systems

USES:

Can be used as supplied or blended with selected fillers for surface repairs, as a primer, as a filler around starter bars and bolt fixings or as a high build heavy duty, chemical resistant flooring surface.

FEATURES/BENEFITS:

High build, heavy duty, industrial/commercial flooring • Highly resistant to chemical attach and the action of forklift, vehicular and commercial type traffic. • In situation requiring strict levels of hygiene and cleanliness or where chemicals are manufactured, spilled or are an integral part of the process. • In food and chemical industry. • Hospitals, schools, kitchens and high traffic application.

TYPICAL PROPERTIES:

Typical physical properties (at 23°C) Solids content: 100% w/w Pot Life: 6Lt- 35 mins 4Lt – 45 mins Tack free time: 15 hours Recoat Time @ 23°C: 10-48 hours Recoat time @ 10°C: 20-40 hours Initial hardening: 24 hours Full cure: 7 days Note: Pot life will be reduced if the product is mixed and left in original container. To extend pot life pour the product into flat trays such as roller trays.

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES:

E-Poxy B is resistant to a wide range of chemicals. Resistance to spillages (examples only) - Hydrochloric Acid 25% Excellent - Sodium Hydroxide 50% Excellent - Phosphoric Acid 50% Excellent - Citric Acid 10% Excellent - Tartaric Acid 11% Excellent - Sulphuric Acid 50% Very Good - Hydrocarbons Very Good - Lactic Acid Very Good - Diesel Fuel/Petrol Very Good - Sugar Solutions Very Good - Nitric Acid 25% Good

MAINTENANCE:

The service life of a floor can be considerably extended by good housekeeping practices. Regular cleaning of E-Poxy B may be carried out using a rotary scrubbing machine with a water miscible cleaning agent.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Surface Preparation: It is essential that E-Poxy B is applied to sound, clean, dry substrate in order to achieve maximum adhesion between the floor coating and substrate. All grease, oil, chemical contamination, dust, laitance and loose concrete must be removed by scabbling or light brush hammering to provide a sound substrate. Under normal circumstances an acid etch can be suitable. Steel surfaces should be grit blasted to white metal, Surfaces which show any traces of oil must be degreased with a chemical degreaser prior to grit blasting. Priming: For maximum adhesion of heavily filled mortars, etc., the surfaces to be treated should be primed by applying a coat of unfilled E’Poxy B before placing the E’Poxy B mortar layer.

MIXING:

By volume – 2 volumes of Part A (resin) to 1 volume of Part B (hardener). By Weight – 100 parts of Part A to 45 parts of Part B.

LIMITATIONS:

E-Poxy B should not be applied to any surface subject to back water pressure; otherwise failure of the bond is likely to occur. Intending users should always consult Adcrete Industries Pty Ltd if there is any doubt as to whether a proposed application may involve conditions other than “ordinary”. Such extraordinary conditions include  Porous or poor quality concrete causing excessive use and ebeorbency of the product. Unusually cold condition during curing (<10°c)  elevated="" temperature="" of="" service="">40°C) eg. Floors subject to hot water  Severe, or unusual chemical attack  Severe, or unusual conditions of service beyond the limiting physical and chemical properties of epoxies. Care should be taken in selecting colours as some will darken or develop a brown tinge when exposed to sunlight or certain chemicals. This effect is noticeable on white, light coloured and grey systems; on brown, yellow and red colours it is less noticeable. E-Poxy B should not be applied on to surfaces known to suffer from rising damp or having a relative humidity reading greater than 80%. Refer to Adcrete Industries Pty Ltd for further advice. E-Poxy B should be applied only when the substrate temperature and the ambient temperature is above 10°C. Solvent must not be added to E-Poxy B under any circumstances unless agreed in writing by Adcrete Industries Pty Ltd Technical Department for specific applications. Some solvents, including acetone and methylated spirits will significantly affect the curing and intercoat adhesion of epoxies.

CLEANING:

All tools and equipment should be cleaned immediately after use with either mineral turps or Solvent 9. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.

STORAGE:

Shelf Life: E-Poxy B has a shelf life of 12 months if kept in a dry place below 25°C in the original, unopened packs. Storage conditions: Store in dry conditions between 10°C and 30°C away from sources of heat and naked flames in the original, unopened packs. If stored at high temperatures the shelf life may be reduced. E-Poxy B should be protected from frost.
