EPOFLOOR PRiMELDouble 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).

SYSTEM STRUCTURE  

  • Primer: 
Concrete with low/medium ratio of pores: 11 coat of EPOFLOOR PRIMEL special sand mixture
Concrete a high ratio of pores: 2 coats of EPOFLOOR PRIMEL special sand mixture
  • Fine Levelling Mortar (surface roughness < 1 mm): 1 coat of EPOFLOOR PRIMEL + silica sand (0.1 mm – 0.3 mm)
  • Screed Mortar/ Repair Mortar: 15 mm – 20 mm coat thickness
