Epilox is an epoxy resin binder system for combining with selected aggregates and graded fillers to form high strength mortars ranging from pourable to paste consistency. It has a wide range of applications and is commonly used as a primer for Epilox floor coatings and toppings, as well as Epilox mortars. It is ideal for bonding, sealing, priming, coating and grouting. It can also be used on vertical or horizontal applications as structural epoxy adhesive paste and filler. Available in 1.5 litre, 6 litre and 30 litre kits.

APPLICATION

Surface Preparation:

Clean the surface and remove any dust, unsound material, plaster, oil, paint, grease, corrosion deposits or algae. Roughen the surface and remove any laitance and expose aggregate by light scabbling or grit-blasting. All anchor bolt holes must be free of water and debris prior to placing of Aftek Epilox Epoxy Binder. Steel surfaces such as reinforcement bars should be grit-blasted or scabbled to remove any corrosion.

Mixing:

The mix ratio is 2:1 by volume, 2 parts Part A and 1 part Part B. Any steel reinforcement and formwork should be prepared, cut to size and shape and made ready for assembly before mixing commences. Care should be taken to ensure that Epilox Epoxy Binder is thoroughly mixed. The entire contents of the hardener (Part B) tin should be poured into the base (Part A) tin and the two materials thoroughly mixed using a suitable slow-speed drill and high shear mixing paddle. Do not over mix as this may incorporate air bubbles. Only mix material that can be used within the setting time.

Placement:

Aftek Epilox Epoxy Binder should be applied as soon as the mixing process has been completed. It should be brushed, rolled or spray applied to the prepared surfaces. The new concrete or screed should be applied to the coated substrate within 60-90 minutes at 20˚C or when the surface is tacky, but not wet. As soon as the Aftek Epilox Epoxy Binder is applied, any required steel reinforcement and/ or formwork should be erected and fixed securely in place. Ensure the Aftek Epilox Epoxy Binder is tacky prior to application of repair mortar. If the application of the Aftek Epilox Epoxy Binder has cured and is touch dry, DO NOT apply cementitious repair mortar. Re-apply with a second coat of Aftek Epilox Epoxy Binder to be the first coat and allow reaching a tacky consistency before applying the cementitious repair mortar.

Clean Up:

Clean up uncured material and equipment immediately after use using Aftek solvent. Do not use solvents on skin. Cured Aftek Epoxy Binder is difficult to remove via chemical means and mechanical means may be necessary.
