EP Cicobond Cicofloor FS-50 Slow Set Epoxy Bonding Agent

Solvent Free Epoxy Floor Coating
Description
Cicobond EP is two component solvent free epoxy bonding agent. Cicobond EP has long setting time that allows different repair activities to take place during bonding coating setting time, like anchoring, steel reinforcement and shuttering works. Cicobond EP also obtains high bonding strength to concrete, which makes it essential part of any successful structural repair.

Technical Data Sheet

issue 02/Oct.11

Application Instructions
Surface preparation
Concrete substrates

Uses
As a bonding agent for structural repair specially R.C elements upgrading. For bonding old and new concrete.

All Concrete Substrates should be sound, clean, and free from oil and grease. Any loose or weak concrete should be removed using hand tools or light mechanical tools (heavy tools are not recommended). Its recommended to wash the concrete contact surfaces with plenty of water 24 hours before applying Cicobond EP. For upgrading concrete structural elements, its recommended to roughen the surface to add more mechanical bonding key.
Steel substrates

Advantages
Provides excellent bonding to concrete. Could be coated over dry and damp surfaces. Provides excellent water resistance. Ideal for hot and tropical climates. Safe when used in closed spaces, as it is solvent free. Provides superior freeze/thaw resistance. Obtains high mechanical characteristics.

All steel surfaces should be blasted or abraded carefully using sandblasting, any mechanical abrasives, or hard steel brush to remove rust.

Mixing
Stir the base only separately. The entire contents of the smaller can (hardener) could be poured into the base container and the materials should be mixed for at least one minute by mechanical mixer using a slow or medium speed mixing drill. Insufficient mixing may lead to color variation.

Packaging
5 and 20 kg set

Application
Apply the mixed Cicobond EP on the prepared substrate using soft hair brush, making sure that the Cicobond EP is tacky when the new concrete, screed or repair mortar is placed. If the overlay time is finished, another coat of Cicobond EP must be coated. Cicobond EP is applicable to be coated on both dry and damp surfaces. In hot climate, its important to check the open time first before applying Cicobond EP, because the high temperature of the substrate will reduce the open time of the material obviously. We recommend spraying the concrete surface by water just before coating to help reducing the substrate temperature.

Shelf life & Storage

12 months storage life if stored in its original unopened containers under shaded place in a temperature from 5oC to 40oC.
