Ressi EPO Gloss Plus
A three-component heavy duty high gloss moderate chemical resistant epoxy flooring system comprising of Bisphenol A Based Resin, High Gloss Cycloaliphatic based curing agents and epoxy compatible filler component. This solvent free formulation makes the epoxy flooring system comprise of high compressive and flexural strength. Specifically designed for Concrete and Cementitious floors but is also compatible with a variety of other substrates such as wood, metal, fiberglass and selected plastics. Suitable application thickness between 1500 microns to 4000 microns in a single layer.

Ressi EPO Gloss plus is specifically designed for Concrete and Cementitious floors but is also compatible with a variety of other substrates such as wood, metal, fiberglass and selected plastics. Suitable application thickness of Ressi EPO Gloss plus if between 1500 microns to 4000 microns in a single layer.
ADVANTAGES
- High compressive and flexural strength: Ensures durability and long-lasting performance.
- Moderate chemical resistance: Suitable for environments with chemical exposure.
- High gloss finish: Enhances aesthetic appeal and ease of maintenance.
- Solvent-free formulation: Safer application process and environmentally friendly.
- Easy to apply: User-friendly application process suitable for multiple surfaces.
- Good Bond Strength with Substrates: Ensures strong adhesion to various surfaces, providing stability and longevity in diverse environments.
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 5% using a standard moisture meter. Expansion, 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. The primer should be allowed to dry. Prior to the application of Ressi EPO Gloss Plus.
MIXING
Stir the base and hardener component separately first. 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
Spread out with a notched trowel to a uniform thickness between 1500 to 4000 microns. The minimum recommended thickness of Ressi EPO Gloss plus is 1500 microns in a single coat. 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 Gloss Plus may be placed over a hot water bath. With Regular wear and tear the gloss level of the finished flooring will diminish over time.
