Instructions for Use

Prepare substrate

chevronBottom

The substrate must be level, load-bearing, dry, sufficiently tensile and compressive strength, and clean. Dust, oil, grease and release agents must be removed in advance using suitable methods (preferred method: shot blasting; alternatively diamond grinding with thorough vacuuming). Application should be carried out at 10-20 °C (room and substrate temperature) and a maximum relative humidity of 70 %.

Mix EP Booster into the B component

chevronBottom

Add EP Booster to the B component in the specified mixing ratio. Then mix the B component slowly and thoroughly with a drill for approx. 3 minutes at 300-400 rpm.

 Quantity EP Booster
For 7 kg (A+B) EP Coating0.150 kg
For 3,3 kg (A+B) EP Primer0.100 kg
For 10 kg (A+B) EP Levelling Compound0.300 kg

Add the mixture (EP Booster and B component) to the A component and mix thoroughly

chevronBottom

Pour the B component mixed with EP Booster into the corresponding A component and mix slowly and thoroughly with a drill for approx. 3 minutes at 300-400 rpm. If required, add EP colour paste/quartz sand and mix thoroughly again. Then process the mixture immediately, as EP Booster halves the working time.

 Working Time at 20 °CWorking Time at 10 °C
EP Coating with EP Booster20 Min.35 Min.
EP Primer with EP Booster25 Min.40 Min.
EP Levelling Compound with EP Booster20 Min.35 Min.

For subsequent coating, depending on the product, broadcast with quartz sand or sand down

chevronBottom
  1. If EP Booster is used with EP Primer or EP Levelling Compound, the layer must be broadcast with quartz sand while still fresh/liquid (recommended amount: approx. 300 g/m² for EP Primer and approx. 500 g/m² for EP Levelling Compound). Before applying the next coating, any loose excess quartz sand must be removed with a broom.
  2. If EP Booster is used with EP Coating, the first cured layer must be sanded until it is completely matt (white haze) before the second EP Coating layer can be applied.
 Walkable / recoatable after (at 20 °C)
EP Coating with EP Booster6 hrs.
EP Primer with EP Booster8 hrs.
EP Levelling Compound with EP Booster6 hrs.

Important Notes

chevronBottom

Never add more EP Booster than recommended in the mixing ratio, as the material will otherwise become too thick and difficult to apply. If less EP Booster than specified is used, the effect may hardly be noticeable. In addition, EP Booster intensifies the natural yellowing of the epoxy resin.

Application & Substrates

EP Booster is particularly useful at low temperatures, as it supports the reaction and enables rapid curing. We also recommend it for all users who wish to significantly reduce the waiting times between coating steps or before the floor can be used. Do not use at temperatures above 20 °C, as the mixture will thicken too quickly and will no longer be easy to apply.

Properties & Limitations

EP Booster reduces the curing and recoating time of EP Primer (8 hours at 20 °C), EP Levelling Compound (6 hours at 20 °C) and EP Coating (6 hours at 20 °C). It shortens the waiting time without affecting the mechanical and chemical properties of the system. When used with EP Coating, we recommend an EP colour paste in light grey or darker to visually mask possible yellowing.
