EpiMax 842- Fast Curing UV Stable Flooring Systems

EpiMax 842 Fast-Curing UV Stable Flooring Systems are part of a family of two-component flooring systems built on Polyaspartic chemistry. They available in clear and coloured versions. These systems provide fast cure times translating into rapid return to service. The high film build reduces the number of coats required to provide the same overall coating thickness. These systems offer low VOC, rapid curing and long lasting durability for the end user. They can be combined with other attractive components (vinyl chips, coloured quartz etc) resulting in highly durable and aesthetically appealing concrete floor finish systems that can be installed in just one day and also allow traffic exposure within hours of completion. EpiMax 842 Clear is a clear seal coat. EpiMax 842 Coloured is the coloured version.

Surface preparation

Concrete should be at least 28 days old. Ensure it is free of all contaminants, additives, curing agents, oils, pre-existing
coatings etc and is also alkaline in nature. Prepare as necessary by professional diamond grinding or captive blast cleaning
as applicable to expose firmly held aggregate to CSP 2 Standard. Vacuum all dust and debris. Allow to dry if wet.
Always confirm preparation adequacy.

Mixing

Mix Part A and Part B for 1 minute, then add a 10% Thinner X to extend the work time, mix for another 30 seconds.
Note Excessive mixing will reduce the work time.

Priming over concrete substrates

Apply a prime coat of EpiMax 842 clear, diluted 1:1 PBV with Thinner X to the prepared surface. Alternatively apply a prime coat
of EpiMax 225 at an application rate of 5 – 6m2/litre or EpiMax 237 at an application rate of 8 – 10m2/litre. Allow to harden.
