SURFACE PREPARATION
Surfaces should be free from grease, oil chemical, dust, laitance, loose concrete and should have minimum amounts of moisture. Appropriate surface preparation equipment such as shot blast, Scarified or grinder must be used to obtain a sound surface. Substrates which show any traces of oil must be degreased with a chemical degreaser prior to any surface preparation or grit blasting. Cracks, pinholes, potholes should be repaired using Ressi EPO Crack Fill. Uneven concrete should be levelled to produce flat surfaces. New concrete floors should be atleast 28 Days old prior to application and must not have moisture exceeding 2% using a standard moisture meter. Expanssion, control and isolation joints should be carried through floors filled with a suitable sealant.PRIMING
Prepared surfaces should be primed using Ressi EPO Primer or any other suitable 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 Floor Plus. The primer should be allowed to dry. If the primer has dried, additional coat of primer should be applied and allowed to become tacky.MIXING
Stir the base and hardener component separately fifirst. Add the Filler component into the base / Hardener material and stir it until the complete material is homogenous. A high-speed drill machine with high RPM levels can be used to homogenize both Part A (base / Resin) and Part C (Filler Material). Once Parts A and C are homogenized, part B should be added into the mix and homogenized accordingly. All Materials should be mixed for at least 3 to 7 minutes a low rpm (400 – 600 rpm) Speed until a uniform homogenized mix is achieved.APPLICATION
Lay Ressi EPO Floor Plus over the prepared surface whilst the primer is still tacky. Spread out with a notched trowel to a uniform thickness between 3mm to 5mm. The minimum recommended thickness of Ressi EPO Floor plus is 3mm. level the material using appropriate trowels and tools to the desired level. Stroke with a steel trowel to achieve a sealed resin rich surface. A spiked roller can also be used to achieve a uniform surface.LIMITATIONS
At higher temperatures, pot life will be reduced. For working on high temperatures below 10°C, Ressi EPO Floor Plus may be placed over a hot water bath.PACK SIZE
Ressi EPO Floor Plus is available in 28 KG Packs Part A: 10KG – Resin Bucket Part B: 4 KG – Packed in a Can Part C: 14 KG – Filler SackSHELF LIFE
12 months from the date of manufacturing when stored under warehouse conditions in original unopened packaging. Extreme Temperature / humidity may reduce shelf life.HEALTH AND SAFETY
The packed material of Ressi EPO Floor Plus is regarded as non-hazardous for transportation. Containers which have been opened and used should be disposed as per local rules and regulations of the area. Please refer to the MSDS for further health and safety guidelines.TYPICAL PROPERTIES AT 25°C
