Epoxy Grout

Product description

Epoxy Grout – floor coatings is a three components, high performance, solvent free pigmented epoxy grout that gives a high build layer on concrete floors or steel decks. This product gives excellent chemical, abrasion and impact resistance and work in extreme temperatures (+150)°C to (-5)°C.

Properties and Areas of Use

– Tough hard wearing film
-Excellent chemical resistance
-Excellent water resistance
-Suitable for heavy duty floors of, for example, Warehouses, Factories, hangers, freezing storehouses, manufacturing plants, Garages ….etc.

Suitable Surfaces

-Suitable for concrete floors and marine decks
-Steel marine decks must be sand blasted to ISO-Sa 21 /2 minimum and primed.
-Concrete surface prepared by using dust free captive blasting units, grinding equipment, sand blasting or high pressure water jetting
-This is critical for achieving the right surface profile prior to paint application.

Bare Steel:

Cleanliness: Blast – cleaning to ISO Sa2 1/2 (ISO-8501-1:2007) and primed with suitable anticorrosive primer. Power tool cleaning to min. St3 (ISO 8501-1:2007) and primed with suitable epoxy mastic primer.

Concrete:

Clean, dry and free from dust, oils, grease and moisture and primed with suitable concrete sealer.

Application Conditions

Substrate temperature should be 10°C or above for application and during cure and a minimum of 3°C above the dew point. Adequate dry air ventilation is recommended for optimum drying.

Application Information

Component A (base) must be thoroughly mixed before adding components B & C.

Brush and Roller

Steel Trowel

Cleaning Thinner

Equipment should be cleaned immediately Auer use with Paint Thinner Colorama TH907EP.
