Acid Resistant Laminating Resin - Solvent Free - CPR 603

Description

Acid Resistant Epoxy Laminating Resin

CPR 603 Acid Resistant Epoxy Laminating Resin is a high performance two pack Epoxy resin, having exceptional resistance to aggressive acids, solvents and alcohols e.g. 96-99% Sulphuric acid, Methyl Ethyl Ketone, and Methanol.

The product has a low viscosity and rapid curing characteristics, even at low temperatures.

Typical Properties

Outstanding chemical resistance
Tough, durable and abrasion resistant
Excellent mechanical properties
Clear, but may be readily pigmented
Low temperature cure
Rapid curing characteristics
Convenient 2:1 volume mix (Base to Curing Agent)

Directions for Use

Surface Preparation Concrete

Concrete shall be a minimum of 21 days old and/or the residual moisture content shall be below 6%.
Ensure that the concrete is clean and free from dust, laitance, grease, oil, curing compound and existing paint finishes, etc.
Blow holes and defective concrete shall be made good using a proprietary repair compound e.g. CPR 719 -Epoxy Concrete Patch Repair Mortar or CPR 726 Concrete Re-surfacer.
Suitable mechanical treatment such as vacuum grit blasting is the preferred treatment prior to application as this ensures a mechanical ‘key’ for the coating.

Surface Preparation Steel

Steel surfaces shall be grit blasted to a nominal Sa 2.5 Swedish standard.
All dust and grease shall be removed prior to coating application.

Mixing

Pour the contents of the CURING AGENT container into the BASE container and thoroughly mix, preferably by mechanical means until a uniform colour is achieved.

Application

Wet out the substrate with CPR 603 Acid Resistant Epoxy Laminating Resin, applying by brush or roller.
Soak the reinforcement mesh with CPR 603 Acid Resistant Epoxy Laminating Resin and apply to the wetted out substrate.
Ensure that no air is occluded, spike rollering if necessary.
Wet out any dry spots with more mixed resin.
Should a coloured finish be required, then a suitable pigment may be incorporated prior to application.
A clear top coat may be applied following curing of the underlying system.

Equipment Cleaning

Clean equipment with CPR 200 – Tool Clean Solvent prior to curing of the coating.

Curing

Allow to cure for a minimum of 4 hours @ 20°C prior to overcoating or light foot traffic.
Allow a minimum of 5 days cure @ 20°C for optimum chemical resistance.

Storage and Shelf Life

Store in dry conditions between 10°C and 25°C.
Do not expose to freezing conditions.
CPR 603 Acid Resistant Epoxy Laminating Resin has a minimum shelf life of 12 months when stored in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.

Packaging

CPR 603 Acid Resistant Epoxy Laminating Resin is supplied in 5kg, 15kg and 75kg packs.

Coverage

Dependent upon type of mesh reinforcement and substrate profile, but typically in the range of 0.5kg to 1.5kg/m² overall.
