Description
EPOXITE DUR is an extremely powerful, transparent, 2 component solvent based epoxy primer. It exhibits high scrub resistance and hardness. It is highly resistant to water, acids, alkalis, petroleum based products etc. It is suitable for strengthening and protecting concrete or plaster surfaces.
ADVANTAGES
- Priming concrete surfaces before applying epoxy and polyurethane swimming pool and floor paints.
- It can be used as a final coat on cement screeds so as to strengthen and stabilize the surface in order to avoid dust formation (dust formation on concrete surface due to chalking).
- Suitable as well for plaster, stone, brick, gypsum, cement boards, metal, wood ands other surfaces.

Instructions for use
Surface Preparation
- Surfaces should be dry, clean and free of dust, oil and friable residues.
- Surfaces should not be cleaned with water, but they should be brushed, scrubbed or sand blasted instead. If the surface is cleaned with water, it should be allowed to dry 3-5 days before coating.
- If there are any cracks or openings, they should be found and filled using epoxy putty EPOXITE CONSTUCT.
- It is essential that the surface is free of dust prior application, so a high absorption vacuum cleaner should be used.
- New cement screeds should be allowed to dry for at least 28 days.
- Surface humidity should not be over 4%.
Mixing
- Α (resin) and Β (hardener) components are already packed in separate containers with a preset mixing ratio. Any modification of the mixing ratio will result in improper polymerization of the mixture.
- Β component should be added completely in component A.
- The two components should be mixed for about 3 - 5 minutes using a low speed mixer.
- It is important to stir the mixture thoroughly near the sides and the bottom of the container in order to achieve uniform dispersion of the hardener.
- CAUTION! The material should not be left mixed for more than 20-35 minutes (depending on the ambient temperature) before application.
Application
- EPOXITE DUR should be applied in a single coat using roller, brush or spray gun.
- The final coat - paint should be applied within 24 - 48 hours after priming. During very hot weather the time is reduced by up to half.
- If the surface will be recoated after 15 days from the primer application, then the surface should be scrubbed with sandpaper and cleaned thoroughly before application.
REMARKS
- The ideal temperature for applying epoxy coatings is between +15oC - +25oC. In lower temperatures (<+15oC) delayed hardening is observed while in higher temperatures (>+30oC) curing is accelerated. It is advised to store the product in room temperature between +15oC - +25oC in order to facilitate mixing.
- Bonding between successive layers may be severely affected by the intervention of moisture or dirt.
- Primed surfaces should be protected from moisture until dry. Moisture may induce unwanted effects during hardening. Discolored or sticky parts of the surface should be removed by grinding or milling and laid again.
- EPOXITE DUR contains solvents. Ventilate adequately the working area. It is advised to use protective gloves and mask suitable for solvents. After hardening the product is safe for health.
- Before using the product consult the SAFETY DATA SHEET
