Type: A general-purpose two or three pack epoxy filler, grout and repair compound.
Suggested use
As a non-shrink filler and repair compound, which can be overcoated with either an epoxy or polyester/vinyl ester top coat. It may also be used as a standalone grouting or filling compound.
Health & safety
Consult the Health & Safety data sheet prior to carrying out any work with this product.
Surface preparation
For the best result, the surface should be blast cleaned to SSPC-SP10 (ISO8501-1 Sa 2½) with a 3 mil (75micron)profile. If grit blasting is not possible the surface should be degreased, loose material removed and the surface roughened to obtain a suitable key.
Application equipment
Short hair stiff brush, trowel, float or mastic type gun.
Mixing
Remove the lids from both the base and activator. Add between 1% and 2% of adhesion promoter to the base and mix in thoroughly. Add all of the activator to the base and mix thoroughly, ensuring no unmixed material remains. Remove all the mixed material from the base tin and re-mix on a clean flat surface or in a clean shallow receptacle.This product has a relatively short pot life, mix only as much material as you can apply within this period.
Application
This material is intended for use as a filler or grouting materialand can be built up to the required film thickness. It should, where possible, be applied over a primer layer or correctly prepared substrate. Application of films greater than 6mm in one coat should be avoided, to prevent excessive exotherms during cure. Incorporation of the adhesion promoter will substantially improve the bond in all cases, both intercoat and to the substrate.
Volume solids
100%.
Practical spreading rate
Approximately 36-38 sf per gal (0.90 – 0.95m²/litre) @ 1mm DFT.
NOTE: This information is given in good faith but may increase dependent upon environment conditions, the geometry and nature of work undertaken and the skill and care in application. Corrocoat accepts no responsibility for any deviation from these values.
Overcoating
There is no minimum overcoating window. The next coat can be applied as soon as previous coat has gelled enough to support its own weight.
Maximum overcoating window: Up to 96 hours at 68°F (20°C) are acceptable.
Flash point
Greater than 212°F (100°C).
Activator type
Modified Amine.
Mixing ratio
2 Parts base to 1-part activator by weight.
Pot life
40 Minutes at 68°F (20°C), shorter at higher temperatures and longer at lower temperatures. DO NOT APPLY AT TEMPERATURES BELOW 41°F (5°C) OR WHEN SUBSTRATE TEMPERATURE IS LESS THAN 37°F (3°C) ABOVE DEW POINT.
Thinners
DO NOT THIN. Addition of solvent will detract from the performance of this product.
