• Environmentally friendly - no toxic solvent fumes
• Outstanding adhesion to a wide variety of substrates
• Exceptional toughness, flexibility, abrasion and chemical resistance
• Holds back Hydrostatic Pressre (up to 21 kgs) - excellent for waterproofing concrete
• Exceptional adhesion to 48 hour old green concrete
• Aquepoxy compares favourably with Solvent Epoxy Systems

Uses:

Aquepoxy should be used over all types of substrates where hardwearing low dirt pick-up properties, along wth additional durability, abrasion, scrubbability and chemical resistance are required.

For use on concrete, blockwork, Floorkote systems, concrete floors, concrete pots, Hardiflex, fibre cement.

For waterproofing under tiled bathroom shower units in multi-storey complexes, hotels, flats, hospitals, schools, freezing works, dairy companies, fish and meat food processing plants, shopping complexes, commercial buildings, retaining walls, basements, below ground.  For graffiti protection and surfaces that require regular high pressure or steam cleaning.

Mixing:

Mix A and B 1 to 1 - equal parts by volume.  In hot climates, dilute first coats applied to concrete with 10-25% water.

Pot Life:

1½ - 2 hours at 20°C at higher temperature pot life will be reduced.  (do not use after exceeding pot life)

Dry Times:

At 20°C touch dry 20 minutes - 1½ hours.  8-24 hours to full cure depending on ambient temperature.

Substrate Temperatures:

Do not apply below 10°C, unless additions of activator are incorporated.  Contact Special Finishes Ltd.

Application:

By brush, roller, conventional or airless spray - dilute with 10-25% water for spraying.
