weber.tecEP coating  

weber.tec EP coating is a high quality low viscosity two component solvent free epoxy coating for application to new and existing concrete floors. It provides a smooth, easily cleaned surface which is resistant to dirt, moisture, oil and many aggressive chemical environments.

• Good chemical resistance

  - Dustproofer

  - Good resistance light to medium traffic

  - Easy to clean

  - Can be made non-slip for wet areas

  -Durable

  -Will not harbour bacterial growth

  - Decorative finish

weber.tec EP coating is supplied in the following standard colours:

Light grey RAL 7035
Mid grey RAL 7040

Additional colours to RAL standard, such as Red RAL 3009 and Beige RAL 1001, can be made subject to quantity and will carry a surcharge.

weber.tec EP coating can be applied to both new and existing concrete or cementitious toppings. New concrete should be at least 21 days old.

The substrate must have a minimum compressive strength of 25 N/mm2and after preparation have a pull off strength of not less than 1·0 N/mm2.
The moisture content must not exceed 6% when tested with a Protimeter or have a relative humidity at the slab surface above 75% when tested with a hygrometer.

All oil and grease must be removed. Care must be taken to ensure oil and grease is removed and not simply spread over a large area.

Any spalled or damaged areas must first be repaired and brought level using a suitable repair compound such as weber.cem pyrapatch, weber.cem pyratop or weber.tec EP mortar.

A sound, freshly-exposed surface, free of laitance, etc. should be obtained either by mechanical means, such as grit blasting, scabbling, bush hammering or by acid etching, in which case the surface must be thoroughly washed and dried.

The importance of thorough preparation to produce the clean, freshly-exposed surface cannot be over emphasised. Inadequate preparation is likely to lead to a failure of bond.

On very poor substrates it may be neccesary to consider the use of weber.tec EP tackcoat prior to the application of weber.tec EP coating

weber.tec EP coating is supplied as a two part system comprising resin and hardener which need to be thoroughly mixed together in the proportions supplied immediately prior to application. Mixing should be carried out using a slow speed stirrer or electric drill attachment.

Transfer to a shallow tray immediately after mixing to help dissipate heat and give a longer working time.

The coating is applied by pouring onto small areas at a time, then spreading with a suitable brush or good quality foam-backed roller to achieve a smooth, even finish. If applied to the floor immediately after mixing, it will take about 5 hours to set depending on temperature. A second coat shall be applied in the same manner once the material has set. If a non-slip finish is desired, a thin dusting of dry sand or grit may be sprinkled between coats. A further 24 hours should be allowed before permitting traffic. Maximum intercoat time 24 hours.

When cured, weber.tec EP coating is not affected by water and frost. Consequently it can be used on surfaces which will ultimately be continually immersed in water. The material should not be applied in frosty weather or in temperatures below 5°C as this will increase the cure time beyond 24 hours, taking corrosion, water and frost resistant properties longer to develop.

Do not apply weber.tec EP coating over movement joints.

N.B. Areas to be coated should be in a dust-free environment.

EU limit for weber.tec EP coating (cat A/j):

550 g/l (2007)/500 g/l (2010). weber.tec EP coating contains <160 g/l VOC.

Brushes and tools should be cleaned immediately after use with weber.tec solvent 3.

Approximately 20m² per 5 litre pack when applied in 2 coats on smooth dense concrete.

Dry Film Thickness: 250 µm in 2 coats.

Store in cool, dry conditions between 5°C and 25°C. Shelf life in correct storage conditions is at least 12 months.

Contains epoxy constituents. Refer to information supplied by manufacturer (see Material Safety Data Sheet).

All skin contact with epoxy resin products should be avoided. Barrier creams should be used and operatives should wear protective clothing including gloves. Working areas should be well ventilated.

The hardener content is alkaline and labelled as corrosive. The resin content is labelled as an irritant. The flash point of all components is in excess of 100°C. In the event of fire use foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide (CO2) or water fog extinguishers.
