Ressi EPO Gloss Might
A two-component epoxy resin based heavy duty, mild chemical resistant, solvent free, abrasion, and impact resistant epoxy floor. It is designed for trowel and self-level applications for thickness of 300 microns to 4000 microns. Offers a durable, high-abrasion finish that is resistant to mild chemicals and impacts. It is used either as a coating or a screed for flooring where excellent mechanical properties with superior abrasion and wear characteristics along with high gloss are required. It can be used for industrial flooring, warehouses, workshops, ramps, garages, airport maintenance areas, hospitals, laboratories, metal processing and engineering units and areas subject to heavy traffic. It can also be used as a coving or patch repair product. Based on a specially modified Bisphenol A based resin which includes high gloss agents along with a cycloaliphatic clear curing agent suitable for such High gloss applications.

This solvent free formulation aids the product to be applied in a variety of locations and applications. Ressi EPO Gloss Might is also compatible with a variety of surfaces such as concrete, metal, wood, ceramics and selected plastics and many other substrates.
ADVANTAGES
- Excellent mechanical properties: Provides superior strength and durability, making it ideal for high-stress industrial environments.
- Can be easily over coated with any epoxy or PU Coating: Ensures compatibility and seamless integration with other coatings for extended protection.
- Excellent abrasion resistance and adhesion to concrete surfaces: Offers long-lasting performance by firmly bonding to surfaces and resisting wear and tear.
- Excellent resistance to impact: Withstands heavy impacts without cracking or chipping, ensuring a durable flooring solution.
- Easy to apply: User-friendly formulation allows for straightforward application, reducing labor time and effort.
- Early development of initial hardness minimizes down time: Rapid curing process enables quick turnaround times for operational use.
- 3 to 4 times stronger than typical concrete: Significantly enhances floor strength, providing a robust and reliable surface.
- Good bond strength: Ensures strong and lasting adhesion to various substrates, preventing delamination.
- Unaffected by a wide range of acids, alkalis, and industrial chemicals: Provides reliable protection in limited exposure chemical environments
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. Surfaces 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 with Ressi EPO Crack Fill. Uneven concrete should be levelled to produce flat surfaces. New concrete floors must be at least 28 days old prior to application. Moisture content of the concrete or cementitious floors must be less than 5%. Expansion, control & isolation joints should be carried through floors filled with a suitable sealant.
PRIMING
Prepared surfaces should be primed using Ressi EPO Primer. The primer should be brushed into the substrate using a stiff brush or roller and allowed to become tacky (10-20mins) before the application of Ressi Gloss Might. The primer should be allowed to dry. If the primer has dried, additional coat of the primer should be applied and allowed to become tacky.
MIXING
Stir the base and hardener components separately. Once both components are mixed, they should be mixed thoroughly using a slow speed drill attached with paddle for at least 3 minutes (400-600 rpm) until a uniform homogenous mix is achieved.
APPLICATION
Lay Ressi EPO Gloss Might over the prepared surface whilst the primer is still tacky. Spread out with a notched trowel to a uniform thickness. 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 in temperatures below 5°C Ressi EPO Gloss Might may need to be put in a hot water bath.
