EPOLEX FOR FLOOR S2380

The paint is determined to protect very demandingly exposed mineral floors. It is suitable to use it as a spatula.  The final coat is resistant to influence of many chemical substances, humidity and mechanical wearing. The coat is not resistant to environmental effects, due to weather the premature flouring of surface can occur.

The paint is mixed with the hardener properly in specified ratio before use and mix thoroughly. The final properties of coat are achieved after complete maturing ca. 7 days, but walkable and recoatable after 24 hours, touch dry after 6 hours. If the coat is not fully hardened, it must not be treated mechanically or chemically. It meets the slip resistance requirements. It is not suitable for coating of glazed or monolithic concrete surfaces.

BENEFITS

• high chemical and mechanical resistance 
• possibility to apply it in any coat
• free of organic solvents
• meets the slip requirements (dry surface)

SURFACE PREPARATION

Mineral surface must be matured (at least 28 days), compact, free of dust, grease, remains of petroleum products and asphalt and other impurities. The surface must be insulated against moisture. It is ideal to suck a dust with powerful vacuum cleaner. When a water jet cleaning is necessary, it is recommended to leave the substrate to dry thoroughly. In the case of the substrate with larger roughness, it is recommended refinished. Humidity of substrate shouldn´t exceed 5%.

Thinner: BALTECH S6300
Hardener: EPOLEX S7300

Mixing ratio: 
100 weight parts EPOLEX S2380 : 25 weight parts EPOLEX S7380                     
100 volume parts EPOLEX S2380 : 35 volume parts EPOLEX S7380                     
The pot life of the hardened mixture is 40 minutes / 20 °C. The pot life of the mixture for penetration is 60 minutes / 20 °C. 

WORKFLOW

Penetration: Stir thoroughly EPOLEX S2380 throughout the whole volume, add the hardener EPOLEX S7380 in prescribed ratio, stir the hardened mixture thoroughly again and dilute it with thinner S 6300 in a weight ratio of 2 parts hardened mixture and 1 part of thinner. The pot life of the mixture is 60 minutes / 20 °C.

Topcoat: Stir thoroughly EPOLEXS 2380 throughout the whole volume, add the hardener EPOLEX S7380 and stir thoroughly again throughout. Stir for at least 2 minutes, at low speeds, to avoid unnecessary incorporation of air into the mixture. The pot life of the mixture is 40 minutes / 20 °C. The pot life gets shorter under conditions of higher temperature and higher volume of hardened mixture.  

The mineral substrate must first be treated with penetrating primer. Where the absorbency of the substrate is extremely high, it is necessary to repeat the penetrating primer to reach smooth nonporous surface. Repeated penetration can be carried out after about 2 hours (method "wet" in the "wet"). The top coat is applied to the primed surface at least 24 and no later than 72 hours after application of the primer, usually in one or two layers (depending on way of application) at temperatures from 10 to 25 °C. Usually the paint is poured onto the primed surface, spread with a spatula (preferably serrated) or is spread by roller with short hair (it is suitable to use the deaerator too).

To correct a surface with larger roughness and cracks it is possible to make a mixture by mixing the hardened mixture of paint and dry bulk filler (limestone, quartz sand, etc.) in a volume ratio of about 1: 1 and applied to the dried primer coating.

When higher thickness is applied, we recommend adding up to 60% quartz sand to the paint with a particle size of 0.2 - 0.8 mm before hardening.

For larger compact areas always use the material from the same batch. Using the same batch can guarantee the same shade of the colour. We recommend mixing the content of the individual cans by homogeneous mixing.
