POLIEPOX 05

 

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

POLIEPOX 05 is an epoxy product, which is used to obtain very thick coatings with a limited number of coats. It is made up of inorganic pigments and inert charges, dispersed in liquid epoxy resins, containing no solvents which harden by reaction with an aliphatic adduct (S HARDENER). The coating which is obtained is a compact film, free of pores, a glassy finish, with optimal resistance to most aggressive agents.

FIELDS OF APPLICATION

POLIEPOX 05 + S HARDENER are indicated for the coating of walls in the food industry, cold storage rooms, hospital wards, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

METHOD OF APPLICATION 

USE ON CONCRETE OR PLASTER

 

Preparation of the support:

1) Remove powdery parts or parts not perfectly anchored by brushing. In the case of surfaces in bad conditions, proceed with sandblasting or chiselling until revealing a healthy surface.

2) Eliminate any traces of dust by means of oil-free compressed air.

3) Proceed with the application of a coat of undercoat and of consolidation with Epoxidro 03 + E Hardener (see technical sheet).

4) When necessary, fill the irregularities of the support with Epostuc D45 + M9 Hardener (see technical sheet).

5) 12-24 hours after the undercoating or filling, apply a coat of POLIEPOX 05 + S HARDENER prepared following the procedure as in the paragraph 'preparation of the mixture'.

6) 12-24 hours after the first coat apply a finishing coat of POLIPLAST + S HARDENER.

 

USE ON IRON, STEEL, OR METAL SURFACES IN GENERAL

1) Remove any traces of rust, calamine, old paint, grease, etc. through brushing or better through sandblasting with grade Sa 2.5 (Norme Svenk Standart SIS).

2) Application of I or 2 coats of POLIEPOX 05 + S HARDENER prepared as specified in the paragraph 'preparation of the mixture'.

3) Apply another coat of POLIEPOX 05 + S HARDENER.

STORAGE

POLIEPOX 05 + S HARDENER will be ruined by freezing. Store the packagings at a temperature between 10°C and 40°C for no longer than one year.

PREPARATION OF THE MIXTURE POLIEPOX 05 + S HARDENER

To the container of POLIEPOX 05 add all of the S HARDENER, mix thoroughly with spatula or helical agitator. The packagings are already predisposed to the following ratios.

POLIEPOX 05            :100 parts in weight 

S HARDENER            : 30 parts in weight

 

After mixing POLIEPOX 05 with S HARDENER the hardening reaction begins which is faster the higher the temperature of the products and the quantity of mixture prepared. At a temperature of 20"C, a mass of 19.5 Kg of mixture should be applied within 30 minutes. At a temperature lower than 5°C there will be no hardening reaction. In the case of particularly cold temperatures or for the need of more fluidity, warm POLIEPOX 05 by immersion in warm water at a temperature of 40-50°C before adding S HARDENER. However take into account that the useful application time will be further reduced. Optimal results of the coating are obtained by applying The mixture without diluting. Whenever more fluidity is desired without resorting to wanning, dilute with ethyl alcohol or appropriate thinner TM to a maximum of n0.0 l. every Kg of mixture. however take into account that diluiting deteriorates the chemical and physical properties and causes the loss of the gloss finish in the coating.

 

APPLICATION OF THE MIXTURE

 

POLIEPOX 05 + S HARDENER can be applied with air-less gun, or with brush or roller. (Immediately after the application clean the tools, by washing them with TM Thinner).

During the application and for 2 days after, the temperature of the support should remain between 10°C and 40°C; the relative humidity should not exceed 85%. In any case, during the application the support should be perfectly dry and there should be a total absence of condensate.

- Average thickness per coat

- Average practical yield 

: 2.5-3 m2/Kg for a thickness of 200 microns.

   :  glossy 

- Recommended thickness   

: 200-300 microns (in specific cases up to 500 microns)

- Porosity (pore test on conductive support at 2000 Volts, thickness of 250 microns)   

no pores 

- Hardness (Bucholz DIN 53153 at 25°C

- Drawing (Erichscn DIN 53156 at 25°C)

- Service temperature   

 from -20°C to +80°C 

- Radioactive radiance   

 : The film of POLIEPOX 05 is practically not sensitive to radioactive radiance. The coating has been subjected to radioactive cobalt radiance for 3 weeks; no measurable yellowing was detected. The features of drawing, porosity, chemical resistance, likewise had no variation.
- OPACITY  to X-rays  POLIEPOX 05 contains, as inert charges, barium sulphate. The isolating effect to X-rays is caused by this component and therefore depends on the applied thickness.
