Ressi EPO FS 5000

Ressi EPO FS 5000 is a three-component solvent free epoxy resin, self-smoothening, heavy duty impact and abrasion resistant flooring system. It provides excellent mechanical resistance. Ressi EPO FS 5000 is suitable for use in food and pharmaceutical industry where high levels of hygiene and cleanliness are required. Due to it high abrasion resistance property. It is recommended to apply a topcoat of appropriate Ressichem Epoxy flooring material to achieve the proper chemical and abrasion resistant properties. Ressi EPO 5000 is ideally suitable for chemical industries, laboratories etc. It is also highly suitable for floor applications in light, medium and heavy traffic industries.

    ADVANTAGES of Ressi EPO FS 5000

    • Durable- high impact resistance.
    • Hygienic- provides a dense, impervious, seamless floor surfaces which is easily cleaned.
    • Good flow and levelling characteristics.
    • Solvent free, non-toxic.
    • Phenol free – can be used in food processing industries.
    • Fast application – minimizes down time.
    • Also available in a fast cure version for low temperature application.

    LIMITATIONS

    At higher temperatures pot life will be reduced. For working in cold climates Ressi EPO FS 5000 containers need to be kept in hot water baths. The material cannot be applied to areas exposed to direct sunlight.

    SURFACE PREPARATION

    Surfaces should be free from grease, oil, chemical contamination, dust, laitance, and loose concrete. Appropriate surface preparation equipment such as shot blast, scarified or grinder must be used to obtain sound substrate. This material is suitable for mostly concrete surfaces only. Surfaces which show any traces of oil must be degreased with a chemical degreaser prior to grit blasting. Cracks, pinholes, potholes should be repaired with the appropriate patch series repair materials or recommended Ressichem Epoxy putties. Uneven concrete should be levelled to produce a roughened flat surface. Uneven floors can be made levelled using the appropriate Ressichem SLS or PFS grades of flooring materials. New concrete floors should be at least 28 days old prior to the application of Ressi EPO FS 5000. Moisture content of the floor must be less than 5%. Expansion control and isolation joints in concrete should be carried through appropriate materials recommended by Ressichem.

    PRIMING

    Prepared surfaces should be primed using Ressi EPO Primer or an appropriate primer recommended by Ressichem. The primer should be brushed into the substrate using a stiff brush or roller and allowed to become tacky (10 – 20 mins) before the application of Ressi EPO FS 5000. The primer should not be allowed to dry. If the primer has dried additional coat of primer should be allowed to become tacky. If the surface is damp, it is preferred to use Ressichem Damp Seal as a primer coat which cures with the inherent moisture and will not adversely affect the adhesion of the top layer.

    MIXING

    Stir the base and hardener components separately. Mix thoroughly with a slow speed drill attached with the paddle for at least one minute (400-600 rpm). Add entire filler component slowly and continue mixing for two minutes to get uniform and homogenous mix. Scrape the sides edges and the bottom of the mixing container using a spatula and continue mixing for a further 2 minutes.

    APPLICATION

    Lay Ressi EPO FS 5000 over the prepared surface of while the primer is still tacky. Spread out with a notched trowel to a uniform thickness. Level the screed with a wooden float and compact to required levels. If the material is used as a final finish strike with a steel trowel to achieve a smooth resin rich surface finish. It can also be power floated to achieve a uniform surface. Where the floor is subjected to chemical, oil or water spillage or where hygiene is important, the finished floor must be sealed using an appropriate sealer or Epoxy topcoat from the Ressichem range of products.
