EPODEX epoxy resin in RAL 7023 Concrete grey

EPODEX epoxy resin is ideal for coating floors and other surfaces. From industrial floors, through garage and basement floors, to designer flooring. No matter your project, we can help you achieve it. Our epoxy resin systems are miscible with all our colors. Application examples can be found in the gallery.

Instructions for use

Preparation

1. For application, we recommend a room, substrate and material temperature of approx. 20°C.
2. The surface should be dust-free, even and as watertight as possible. Unevenness and slopes should be levelled in advance with levelling compound.
3. Apply a saturating primer. (mandatory for porous surfaces and on the levelling compound)
4. The saturating primer prevents the epoxy resin and paint from being soaked into porous surfaces.
5. Allow the saturating primer to dry.

Primer

1. Always start with our EPOXY PRIMER. This primer is included in the scope of delivery.
2. Shake the bottle well before use or stir the material with a stir stick. Dye the EPOXY PRIMER with our water-based WB colour paste. Recommendaded amount of paste to be added: Add 3% in weight to the EPOXY PRIMER. For example, add 30g of WB PIGMENT paste to 1kg of EPOXY PRIMER.
3. Transfer the material into a paint tray.
4. Roll the material thinly onto the desired surface with a foam roller. We recommend a layer thickness of approx. 0,3mm.
5. Let the primer dry and cure for about 8h (at 20°C).

Main coating

1. Use our ECO or PRO system for the main coating.
2. Mix the resin A-component with the hardener B-component in a mixing ratio of 2:1 (e.g. 2kg resin: 1kg hardener). Add 1% of the supplied RAL 7023 Concrete grey colour paste to the resin-hardener mixture.
3. Stir through the edge and bottom of the mixing cup as material will settle there. Ideally, pour into a clean mixing cup and mix again. This ensures that the resin A-component and hardener B-component are completely mixed together.
4. Pour the resin-hardener mixture onto the surface to be coated immediately after mixing, as the product may boil in the mixing cup depending on the system and the amount of substance.
5. Apply the material with a squeegee and foam roller and let it flood over the desired surface. We recommend a layer thickness of 1,5mm.
6. The main coating can be walked on/touched after approx. 24h and is chemically fully cured after approx. 7days. You can find more detailed information in our information table under the info button “Learn more” on this page.

Info: Epoxy resin is sensitive to any kind of moisture during curing (risk of carbamate formation, i.e. white patches in the top layer). For this reason, we recommend that you avoid any contact between water and the epoxy until it has cured completely (at least 7 days). For thin layers, cold temperatures (ambient, substrate, and resin temperatures below 20°C) and increased humidity, the time until the epoxy resin is fully cured may be extended.
