APPLICATION

SURFACE PREPARATION

  • Surface strength shall be achieved before application; dust, chipping, construction-cement residues shall be scraped off and cleaned with brush and any adherence reducing agents shall be removed.

PREPARATION of the MORTAR

  • Packed with appropriate quantities consisting of 2 components.
  • If the product in the package shall be used partially, it shall be mixed with a ratio of Resin A / hardener B = 100/4 (by weight).
  • Two components shall be mixed for 3 minutes with mixer drill with a speed of 400 – 600 rpm until a homogeneous mixture is achieved.

MIXING RATIOS

  • FUGAFIX EPOKSİ® Component A, 5 kg Epoxy resin
  • FUGAFIX EPOKSİ® Component B, 0.2 kg Epoxy hardener

APPLICATION for CERAMIC ADHESIVE

  • FUGAFIX EPOKSI® is used as the cement-based ceramic adhesives.
  • Ceramics are affixed by spreading the material with a suitable comb trowel after making the mixture.
  • For critical surfaces and areas where heavy loads shall be present, material shall be applied as a thin layer just as applying a putty with the flat side of the trowel on the area to be affixed, then the material shall be spread by the comb trowel and ceramics shall be affixed after putting epoxy mortar on it.
  • After affixing the material with the comb trowel, the ceramics shall be affixed rapidly; and no ceramics shall be affixed on a material that has started to cure.

APPLICATION for JOINT FILLER

  • FUGAFIX EPOKSI® is filled to the joints with a plastic or hard rubber trowel or with a muzzle-loaded gun.
  • Excess material shall be removed from the joints.
  • In deep joints, the material applied first collapses within the joint.
  • Make sure that the joint is fully filled.
  • Depending on the ambient and surface temperature, wait for about 15 minutes, and bring the joints to their final form by cleaning the surface with a suitable sponge and hot detergent water.
  • Sponge contaminated shall be replaced frequently during cleaning.

CLEANING of CERAMICS

  • Epoxy-based joint fillers create a film layer over the ceramics.
  • This layer shall be thoroughly cleaned.
  • Cleaning shall be very difficult if you are late.
  • The final film layer on the ceramics shall be cleaned using a suitable sponge and hot detergent water about 5 hours after the application and the surface shall be wiped off by adding 10% alcohol to the final cleaning water.

RECOMMENDATION

  • FUGAFIX EPOKSI® shall be mixed a suitable mixing drill.
  • It shall never be mixed by hand or with a trowel.
  • Application and curing times of epoxy resin based products depend on the ambient conditions and floor temperature.
  • No other materials (water, lime, cement, gypsum, etc.) shall be added to the prepared mortar.
  • Mortar shall not be used again by mixing with water or dry mortar if its application time has expired.
  • FUGAFIX EPOKSI® may only be cleaned with mechanical methods from the surface after it is cured.
  • We recommend that the application shall be performed between +5°C and +35°C.
  • Do not inhale it directly. Cured materials shall not be brought to contact with eyes due to their irritative characteristics. In case of contact, it shall be washed with plenty of water.
  • Application areas shall be ventilated.
  • For detailed information, please request the security data sheet.
  • Contact us for your technical questions and for your questions about all other application conditions.
