CPR 703 – Epoxy Screed

Description

Epoxy Screed

CPR 703 Epoxy Screed is a three pack Epoxy resin based floor screed designed for application at 4-6mm thickness. The Screed comprises a Base component, a Curing Agent component and a specially graded Aggregate component. The Epoxy Screed is easy to apply and does not stick to the trowel. CPR 703 Epoxy Screed is non-dusting, chemical and abrasion resistant, non-slip in nature and may be rapidly opened to traffic.

Typical Properties

• Highly durable
• Abrasion and impact resistant
• Non-slip
• Easily maintained
• Excellent chemical resistance
• Low odour

Directions for Use

Surface Preparation

• Concrete shall be a minimum of 21 days old and/or the residual moisture content shall be below 6%.
• The floor shall then be prepared by grit blasting, mechanical scabbling, or similar, to produce a clean, exposed aggregate finish, free from dust, dirt, oil, grease, laitance and other  Contaminants.
• Old concrete shall be mechanically prepared to remove all contaminants.
• Defective concrete shall be removed, cutting back to sound substrate and patch repairs may be carried out as required.

Mixing

• The use of mechanical, forced action mixer such as a Creteangle, is strongly recommended.
• Pour the contents of the CURIN GAGENT container into the BASE container and mix thoroughly.
• The mixed resins shall be poured into a mixing vessel, (Creteangle bucket or similar), and the Aggregate added steadily whilst the mixer is in motion.
• Mix for 2-3 minutes until a uniform consistency is achieved.

Priming

• Apply a coat of CPR 403 Primer for Concrete Repair Mortars – Epoxy WB to the prepared surface at a rate of 3.3 to 6.7 m²/kg (depending upon surface texture).
• Within 90 minutes of the primer application, CPR 703 Epoxy Screed may be applied.

Application

• Lay the material, utilising screeding bars or screed box, ensuring good compaction, and finish with a stainless steel or chemically resistant plastic float.

Sealing

• The application of a clear sealer is recommended to reduce tendency towards staining and dirt pick cup, and thereby ensure optimum ease of cleaning. Please refer to CPR 901 Clear Resin Bound Sealer and CPR 902 PU Screed Sealer.

Equipment Cleaning

• Clean equipment with CPR 201 – Tool Clean Solvent prior to curing of the coating.

Curing

• Allow to cure for a minimum of 18 hours @ 20°C prior to light foot traffic access and 48 hours @ 20° prior to vehicular trafficking.
• 7 days cure @ 20°C is recommended prior to exposure to chemicals.
• Curing will be slower at lower temperatures.

Storage and Shelf Life

• Store in dry conditions at temperatures between 10°C and 25°C.
• Avoid low temperature storage prior to use of the material.
• Do not expose to freezing conditions.
• CPR 703 Epoxy Screed has a minimum shelf life of 12 months when stored in original, unopened containers in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.
