INDUFLOOR-EPF

2 components Epoxy universal adhesive (Filler and Grout)

Properties:

  • High tensile adhesion strength
  • High compressive and flexural strength
  • Resistant to a range of diluted acids, alkalis and solutions aggressive to concrete
  • Bonds to damp substrates
  • Hardens without shrinkage
  • Good deformability at low temperatures
  • Solvent free

Areas of Application:

INDUFLOOR – EPF is a thixotropic adhesive and smoothing compound and is for use on various substrates on floors, walls and overhead areas. INDUFLOOR – EPF can be used as an adhesive or smoothing compound for:

  • Concrete slabs
  • Screed boards
  • Pre-cast concrete sections (e.g. Shaft rings)
  • Bonding metals, ceramics and plastics
  • Adhesive for ASO-Tape-3000

Also suitable as a waterproof grout:

  • As a smoothing compound for static cracks
  • As a rapid repair mortar for concrete areas

Storage:

Both components (A and B) can be stored for a minimum of 24 months in the unopened containers. Keep dry and above +10°C. If INDUFLOOR – EPF is stored below +10°C, component A can become “hard”.

Product Details

Product Application:

The substrate to be treated must:

  • be dry, load bearing and have a good key
  • be free from separating and adhesion inhibiting substances, protected from reverse moisture penetration.
  • Dependent on the condition of the substrate, use suitable methods of preparation e.g. Shot blasting, scabbling, planning, vacuuming or grit blasting.
  • Steel surfaces must be treated to white metal (SA 21⁄2)

Appropriate to the particular substrate, the following additional criteria need to be fulfilled:
Cement-based surfaces:

  • Quality of the concrete: min. C 20/25
  • Quality of the screed: min. EN 13813 CT-C25-F4
  • Age: min. 28 days
  • Tensile adhesion strength: = 1.5 N/mm2
  • Residual moisture: < 6% (CM, carbide method

Product Mixing:

Component A (resin) and component B (hardener)

Component A (resin) and component B (hardener) are supplied at a pre-determined mixing ratio. Add component B to component A. Ensure that the hardener fully drains from its container. Blending of both components is to be achieved with a suitable stirrer at approx. 300 rpm (e.g. drill with paddle). In the process it is important to stir from the sides and base so that the hardener is evenly distributed. Stir for long enough to achieve an homogenous mix (free from streaks): mix time approx. 3 minutes. The material temperature should be approx. +15°C during the mixing process.
