EPINOX 12
Epoxy varnish
- Chemical resistant
- Water resistant
- Wear resistant
- 2-component
- Solvent-borne
- Clear coat
- Lacquer
Two component epoxy transparent varnish, primer, cured with polyaminoamide.
For priming of: wood, concrete and ceramics before painting with epoxy, coal-tar epoxy or vinyl coatings. Also suitable as self-protection of surface. Hard and flexible coating, with outstanding adhesion to surfaces.
Surface preparation
Before cleaning of surface, it is recommended to wash it with water with addition of OLICLEAN 123 and then rinse with fresh water.
CONCRETE SURFACES: fully cured (minimum 28 days at 23°C), rough, without cracks, crevices and laitance, jet cleaned or cleaned using a wire brush. Surface must be dry (relative humidity max. 4%), fat-, salt-, dust- and inclusions-free.
POROUS SURFACES: (wood, concrete, ceramics) is recommended to prime using diluted varnish EPINOX 12.
Additional instructive information for surface preparation can be found in standards EN ISO 12944-4 and ISO 8501-2.
Application
Take into consideration the pot life of the mixture when estimating the amount to be mixed at a time. Before application the base and hardener are mixed in right proportion. Stir thoroughly down to the bottom of the vessel. Mixing by machine is recommended, for example a slow-rotating hand-drill equipped with a mixer. Inadequate stirring or incorrect mixing ratio results in imperfect curing and impaired film properties. Mix thoroughly components and wait 15 minutes (at 23°C) before use.
Apply by airless spray or brush.
Airless spray parameter:
Nozzle size 0.013 - 0.017"
Nozzle pressure 10 - 12 MPa
Application conditions
During the application and drying period the minimum temperature of the ambient air, the surface and the product shall be above +5°C and the relative air humidity below 85%. Additionally, the temperature of the surface to be treated and the product must be at least +3°C above the dew point of the ambient air.
Adequate ventilation during application and drying period is recommended.
Storage
The storage stability is shown on the label. Store in a cool place and in tightly closed containers.
