EPOFLOOR PRiMEL

Double Component Low Viscosity Epoxy Resin Primer with No Solvent Content



APPLICATION FIELD

Used as a primer before concrete surfaces on the interior areas, cement-based screeds, all Epoxy and Polyurethane coatings.

Used as a bonding element for epoxy-based correction mortars and screeds.

It may be used as final fine coat on floors that are required to be water-proof, non-dusting, and chemically and mechanically resistant in the interior areas.

REQUIREMENTS

  • Used on interior surfaces.
  • A high ratio of filler may be added to it.
  • Has high chemical and mechanical strength.
  • Applied easily.
  • It is absorbed well by the surface.
  • It is economical.
  • Water impermeable.
  • Allows obtaining of a bright final coat.
  • A non-sliding surface may be obtained.
  • It is free of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC solvents).
  • Has a low viscosity, thus penetrates to capillary holes easily.
  • Has high adhesion strength.
  • The waiting time between coats is short.
  • May be used for multiple purposes.

APPLICATION

SURFACE PREPARATION

Concrete sub-surfaces shall be clean, dry and free of any foreign material such as dirt, oil, grease, coating and surface curing materials, etc.

Also, they shall be solid and have adequate compressive strength (at least 25 N/mm²), and their tensile strength shall be at least 1,5 N/mm².

The cement sub-surfaces shall be prepared so that a surface with open pores shall be obtained by removing the grout with abrasive equipment.

Weak concrete parts shall be removed from the surface, eyelet holes and holes shall be closed completely. Repairs of sub-surfaces, filling of holes and correction of the surface are made with the mortar obtained by mixing the EPOFLOOR PRIMEL primer with silica sand of 0.1 mm – 0.3 mm thickness.

Concrete or screed surfaces shall be primed and levelled to ensure a smooth surface. The bumps on the surface shall be corrected by abrading. All dust and loose particles shall be removed from the surface prior to application of the product, preferably with a brush and/or vacuum cleaner.

APPLICATION CONDITIONS

  • Humidity content of the surface shall be below 4%. Test method: CM measurement or oven drying method (Moisture meter)
  • Relative air humidity shall be 80% maximum.
  • Take care against dewing and condensation. Dewing and condensation of water vapour on untreated floors or recently coated floors damage the coating. In order to prevent this, the floor temperature shall be above 3 °C.
  • Surface Temperature: Minimum +10°C, maximum +30°C
  • Ambient Temperature: Minimum +10°C, maximum +30°C
  • Material Temperature: Minimum +10°C, maximum +30°C

PREPARATION of the MORTAR

After pouring component B to the component A, it shall be mixed with a 300-400 rpm mixer for about 2-3 minutes until a homogeneous mixture is achieved.

Then, silica sand of 0.1 mm – 0.3 mm and other additives, if required, shall be added and it shall be mixed again until a homogeneous mixture is achieved (about 2-3 minutes). To ensure that the mixture is obtained fully, take the materials to another vessel and mix again for 1 minute. In order to minimize the air-entrainment, avoid mixing excessively. Ensure that the surface moisture content is below 4% and that no dewing shall occur before application.

As primer: EPOFLOOR PRİMEL, shall be applied with a brush, roll, or rake. Ensure that it is applied on whole surface without any holes.

As levelling mortar: Rough surfaces shall be levelled first. Levelling mortar shall be applied with a trowel or rake as per the required thickness.

As Mortar Coating/Repair mortar: Mortar shall be applied properly by using levelling laths, and if necessary, using coating boards, on the primer that is still adhesive. After waiting for a short period of time, surface shall be corrected by compacting it with a trowel or a teflon-coated finishing machine (usually at 20-90 rpm).
