CLEAR EPOXY RESIN BINDER SYSTEM, SOLVENT FREE
DESCRIPTION
flooring resin epoxy binder system is a solvent-free, clear,
two-component, low viscosity epoxy resin system which is
cycloaliphatic amine cured (clear light colour).
USES
flooring resin is currently used as the preferred binder
system in abe.®cote 400 hi-build; abe.®flo; abe.®screed
QC; abe.®screed SLC P epoxy primer (high mechanical
shock areas for SL cementitios screeds).
Please refer to specific Technical data sheet for details.
All contamination must be removed to give a clean, dry and
open textured surface.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Concrete:
Laitance and contamination to be removed by totally
enclosed shot blasting, light scarification or diamond
grinding. All residues must be removed including vacuum
cleaning to provide a dry, dust-free, open textured surface.
Porous floors (high air cavities) will need two coats of primer.

SUBSTRATE REQUIREMENTS
Do not apply coating if humidity is in excess of 85% @21ºC
or 75% @ 10ºC
• Fine sand bulked up for a scraper coat repair work prior
to twin pack/two part decorative floor application
finishes.
ADVANTAGES
• Proven system
•
Universal formulation
•
Solvent free
• Reduced moisture and carbon dioxide sensitivity
• Cures well down to +10°C
• Easily applied
• Good chemical resistance
• Less sensitive against humidity
The concrete substrate must be sound and of sufficient
compressive strength (minimum 25 N/mm2) with a minimum
pull off strength of 1.5 N/mm2.
Do not apply coating if the substrate temperature is at
least 3ºC (5ºC is better) above dew point.
Must be free from rising damp. Dry to a moisture content
below 75% RH as per BS 8203; 1987
