Novatio Poxycon - tub 2kg

2K EPOXY WEAR LAYER AND REPAIR FOR SCREEDS AND FLOORS

Transparent, liquid 2-component epoxy resin for impregnating, reinforcing, priming, levelling, repairing, casting, making containment basins liquid-tight, … . By adding Poxy Quartz, epoxy mortar is obtained.

Advantages

Pressure-resistant, wear-resistant and weather-resistant.

Exceeds the cohesion of concrete.

Mechanically and chemically loadable.

Use

Substrate

• Apply to a load-bearing, stable and clean substrate, free from loose parts, dust, oil, grease, rubber marks, … .

Mixing

• Remove the separating strip from the bag and mix the two components in the bag for 1 minute by kneading intensively.
• Process immediately.

Processing time

• At 20°C and 60% R.H. approximately 25 minutes.
• Higher temperatures shorten and lower temperatures extend the working time (pot life).

Applying

• Depending on the application with a rubber floor squeegee, a toothed rubber floor squeegee, a toothed trowel, an epoxy roller, … .

Waiting times

• Before applying a second layer, at +20°C, respect a waiting time of at least 12 hours and a maximum of 48 hours.
• If a longer waiting time is foreseen, sprinkle the surface with Poxy Quartz while the layer is still wet.
• The curing time shortens at higher temperatures and extends at lower temperatures.

Processing temperature

• Poxycon, environment and substrate +8°C and +30°C.

Curing

• At 20°C and 60% R.H.: walkable after 1 day, mechanically loadable after 3 days and fully loadable after 7 days.
• At lower temperatures this takes longer.
• During curing (approx. 24 hours at +20°C) protect Poxycon against moisture.

Some applications

• Impregnating and/or reinforcing: apply Poxycon diluted with at most 20% Poxy DC to the surface until saturation.
• Consumption depending on the substrate and the application: between 0,3 and 0,5 kg/m².

Priming

• Apply Poxycon to the floor until saturation.
• Consumption depending on the substrate and the application: between 0,3 and 0,5 kg/m².

Coloured wear layer

• Pour half of the mixed Poxycon into the bucket.
• Add 1 box of Poxy Color of choice and mix well until a homogeneous colour is obtained.
• Add the rest from the bag and mix well.

Open-pore Poxycon mortar

• First apply a base layer of Poxycon.
• Then add the Poxy Quartz to the well-mixed Poxycon in the bucket provided.
• Mix thoroughly (3 minutes mixing time).
• Mixing can be done with a slow-rotating mixer.
• Mixing ratio by weight: 1 part Poxycon and 10 parts Poxy Quartz.
• Process immediately.
• Consumption per mm layer thickness on 1 m²: approx. 0,2 kg Poxycon and 2,0 kg Poxy Quartz.

Liquid-tight Poxycon mortar

• First apply a base layer of Poxycon.
• Then add the Poxy Quartz to the well-mixed Poxycon in the bucket provided.
• Mix thoroughly (3 minutes mixing time).
• Mixing can be done with a slow-rotating mixer.
• Mixing ratio by weight: 1 part Poxycon and 5 parts Poxy Quartz.
• Process immediately.
• Consumption per mm layer thickness on 1m²: approx. 0,4 kg Poxycon and 2,0 kg Poxy Quartz.

Cleaning

• Clean just-used tools and any fresh contamination with Poxy DC.

Personal protective equipment

• Suitable nitrile gloves, safety goggles and face protection.

Note:

• Friction and mechanical load wear the surface.
• Staining is possible during impregnation due to the difference in suction power.
• The weather conditions and the UV rays can damage the colour stability.
• A base layer must be pore-filling. A second layer of Poxycon may therefore be necessary, or a more generous first layer.
