EPICOL T T.D.S
USAGE
EPICOL T is a putty with a simple mixing ratio suitable for filling, moulding and repairing.
EPICOL T can be applied underwater and sticks to wood, stone, concrete and metal.
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
Good chemical resistance to alkalis, petroleum derivatives, acid, diluted organic acids, salts and solutions. For more information please contact RESIPLAST NV.
PROPERTIES
- Can be applied underwater
- High adhesive power
- Simple mixing ratio with colour control
- Hard
- Can be worked after curing
- Limited layer thickness • Impermeable
PROCESSING
- Preparing the application surface
Make sure the surface is clean. The recommended processing temperature for the surface, the surroundings and the material is 5°C to 35°C.
- Mixing
Wear plastic gloves. Fill a bucket with water and wet the gloves. Take equal quantities of white (A component) and black (B component).
Knead both components together until they become a homogeneous grey colour. Keep the gloves wet while kneading.
For better malleability: place both packets in warm water before mixing.
- Application
Press or hammer the mixed paste well. Extra pressure ensures better adhesion, even on a rough surface when it is not perfectly clean.
The surface can be smoothened with wet gloves. Vertical and overhanging parts >5cm are applied in several layers. After it has cured, EPICOL T can be painted or mechanically worked.
- Use
EPICOL T is cured after 12 hours.
EPICOL T is fully mechanically loadable after 4 days and chemically loadable after 7 days. The curing process can be speeded up with warm air (maximum 70°C).
