Technical Caracteristics

An epoxy resin and polyamide-based product.

Advantages and Uses

• Exceptional adhesion to the substrate. High resistance to abrasion.
• Very good chemical resistance to fuels, oils, greases, acids, etc. 
• Easy to mix and apply.
• Prolonged application time. 
• Surface hardener of the substrate. Industrial floors and warehouses.
• Garages.
• Laboratories.
• Chemical products factories.
• Hygienic cleaning: non-porous surfaces which are easy to clean.
   

Suitable Substrates

• Concrete or suitably durable self-levelling cement (minimum pressure resistance of 25 N/mm2 and traction of 1.5 N/mm2), slightly rough with open pores. For other base materials, please contact our technical department.
• All base materials must be durable, stable, sound and clean, in addition to being free of dust, form release agents (e.g. paint stripper), organic products, etc. 
• Prior to application, any imperfections and/or cracks that may be present in the base materials should be suitably repaired using our range of PAVILAND or MORCEM REST products.
• Milling and/or sanding of the base material is recommended in order to open the pores and de-scale bonded materials, such as grease, paint, etc.
• The base material must be completely dry and the concrete sufficiently matured, with a residual moisture level lower than 3%.

Application Procedure

• Mix the separate A and B components.
• Empty component B onto component A and mix with an appropriate high-speed mixer until a uniform consistency has been obtained, subsequently adding the percentage of solvent specified below.
• Different percentages of EP PUMA SOLVENT should be added depending on the mode of application. Airless spraying: 2–5%. Air-spraying (spray gun): 10 – 15%. Brush: 10%. Roller: 5 %.
• Allow the mixture to settle for 5 minutes before using.
• Apply the first coat with a brush, short-haired roller, spray gun or airless sprayer. 
• The second coat, at the previously-mentioned solvent percentage, should be applied 24–48 hours afterwards. Please note that these time periods are guidelines and may vary depending on the ambient temperature.
• The overall finish must be smooth and uniform. Irregular application of different product thicknesses may cause variations in the overall tone and appearance of the surface.
• Make sure the surface remains protected for at least 48 hours following application.

Recommendations

• Do not apply the product under 10º due to the potential resin crystallization.
• Do not apply it above 30ºC.
• Do not apply under the risk of frost, rain, heavy wind or direct sun light.
• Use gloves and protective goggles when manipulating the product. In case of direct skin or clothes contact, clean the area with abundant water.
• Keep away from children.
• The substrate must be dry (less than 3% humidity).
• The product changes tone or may experience discolouration when used outdoors or exposed to UV radiation; hence, it is recommended for indoor use only.
• Low temperatures or intervals exceeding 48 hours between coats can cause coverage issues between coats.
• Any equipment and tools will be cleaned with water immediately after being used. Once the product gets hard, it will only be removed by mechanical means.
• It is necessary to always maintain proper ventilation in the application area. 
• Do not eat or smoke when manipulating the product.
• Empty containers should be removed or thrown according to the current legislation.
• As a consequence of the change in raw materials, the shades of the coloured mortars may vary slightly by batch.
