FLUIDEPOX® A+B
TRANSPARENT EPOXY FORMULATION (A+B)
Solvent-free two-component epoxy primer. Multipurpose primer, it is recommended as concrete consolidating primer with high reactivity and good waterproofing. Mixed with quartz, it can also be used for realizing epoxy screeds.
Type: Epoxy Binders
Description
Two-component product based on epoxy resins used in combination with cycloaliphatic amine hardeners.
It has good penetrating and consolidating power for concrete supports.
The particular chemical structure of the amine hardener guarantees a good reactivity of the system even at low temperatures.
Use
Primer for concrete ideal for promoting adhesion and creating multilayer coatings, with roller application or by rasare.
Anchoring and binder bottom to make epoxy screeds.
Impregnations of glass fibers to make fiberglass coatings. Consolidation of reinforced concrete structures and cavity filling.
Support
The substrate must have a minimum compressive strength of 25 N/mm2 and a tensile strength of 1,5 N/mm2
Preparation of the support
Working on concrete bottoms it is necessary to verify that there are no rising humidity. If the concrete is newly built, you will have to wait for the complete maturation.
The surface must be solid, absorbent and free from the presence of oils, surfactants, water, dust. Any inconsistent parts will have to be removed.
Flooring must be treated mechanically, by sanding, shot peening or milling.
Applications
At the time of application, combine part A and part B in a single container and mix carefully for 2 minutes using suitable equipment (propeller drill).
Quickly use the entire contents of the container. When emptying the container, avoid scraping the edges and the bottom, as there may be some product not perfectly blended.
FLUIDEPOX can be applied in several ways:
- as consolidant: apply by roller or brush, pure or diluted with 5–10% ethyl alcohol or Solvent UNI
- for simple shaving and multilayer coating: apply a skim coat, loaded with 50% QUARZO B0 or B1
- to make epoxy screeds: apply at thickness, loaded with QUARZO MIX1 or MIX3
- as repair mortar: load the product up to 10% by weight with thickener
Consumption varies significantly according to the application methods and the substrate conditions: consult the Sivit Application Cycles for a timely and precise reference.
Warnings
For low temperature applications, the material can be heated to 25°C for easy application and catalysis (viscosity decrease).
