Instructions for use
Surface preparation
Surface preparation is essential; therefore, the surface to be treated must be free from any contaminants, dry, sound, and have a tensile strength of at least 1.5 MPa. In all cases, surface preparation must be carried out by sandblasting, milling, shot-blasting, grinding or sanding, depending on the type of surface. Any free-standing or stagnant water originating from the substrate, previous washing operations or weather conditions must be removed or dried using appropriate methods.
Product preparation
A two-component product to be thoroughly mixed at the time of use with a low-speed propeller mixer. Mix component B with component A for a few minutes until a homogeneous, lump-free mass of uniform colour is obtained. Add 100% (1:1) 0.1–0.3 mm quartz sand tEpox Grip. The product must be applied at a temperature between +5°C and +35°C.
Application
Epox Grip must be applied by roller or trowel depending on the desired finish. When laying epoxy screeds, use Epox Grip as a primer at a rate of 300 to 500 g/m² of product. Apply the epoxy mortar, consisting of one part binder, Epox Grip and five parts of controlled-grain-size quartz, to the fresh substrate. Allow the necessary curing time depending on the temperature (approximately 2–3 hours), then proceed with manual or mechanical smoothing. As soon as possible, level the surface by thickening Epox Grip with quartz, powder or another thickening agent.
Cleaning of tools
Tools must be cleaned with a thinner after use.
Storage
When kept in its original sealed packaging, stored in a dry, sheltered place at a temperature between +5 °C and +35 °C, the product has a shelf life of 12 months.
