Epoxy.com Product #15 is a high-quality, 100% solids epoxy resin system renowned for its versatility in various flooring applications. Its exceptional chemical resistance and durability make it suitable for use as a floor sealer, primer, and mortar.

Applications and Uses

        1.        Floor Sealer:

        •        Purpose: Provides a protective barrier against chemicals, stains, and wear, enhancing the longevity of concrete floors.

        •        Application: Apply a clear coat over porous materials to seal and protect the surface.

        2.        Floor Primer:

        •        Purpose: Acts as a bonding agent between the substrate and subsequent epoxy coatings, ensuring adhesion, uniformity and reducing topcoat bubbles.

        •        Application: Use as a chemical-resistant primer before applying topcoats or additional flooring systems.

        3.        Mortar:

        •        Purpose: When combined with aggregates, it creates a robust mortar suitable for repairing potholes or creating seamless flooring coves.

        •        Application: Mix with silica sand to form a durable mortar for concrete repairs or as a base coving material.

Application Guidelines

        1.        Surface Preparation:

        •        Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from contaminants such as oil, grease, or dust.

        •        Mechanically prepare the surface to achieve a profile suitable for epoxy adhesion.

        2.        Mixing:

        •        Combine Part A (resin) and Part B (hardener) in the recommended ratio.

        •        Mix thoroughly until a uniform consistency is achieved, avoiding the introduction of air bubbles.

        3.        Application:

        •        As a Sealer: Apply with a roller or squeegee, ensuring even coverage.

        •        As a Primer: Apply a thin coat and allow it to become tacky before applying subsequent layers.

        •        As a Mortar: After mixing with aggregates, trowel the mixture onto the prepared surface, compacting it to ensure proper bonding.

        4.        Curing:

        •        Allow the applied epoxy to cure as per the manufacturer’s recommendations, considering ambient temperature and humidity.

        •        Protect the area from traffic and moisture during the curing process to ensure optimal results.

Advantages of Epoxy.com Product #15

        •        Chemical Resistance: Exhibits excellent resistance to strong acids, alkalis, and most industrial chemicals and solvents, making it suitable for harsh environments.

        •        Durability: Quartz floors are incredibly durable, making them suitable for high-traffic areas and heavy-duty use.

        •        Versatility: Can be applied as a thin coating or as a thick aggregate-filled system, accommodating various application needs.

        •        UV Stability: Slower than other clear epoxies to oxidize in direct sunlight and indoor UV light, reducing yellowing and maintaining appearance over time.

        •        Non-Shrink: Maintains volume during curing, ensuring dimensional stability and adherence to the substrate.

        •        Low Viscosity: Exhibits excellent wetting properties, allowing for deep penetration into substrates and effective bonding.

Epoxy.com Product #15 is a reliable and versatile solution for various flooring applications, offering superior performance and longevity. Its adaptability as a sealer, primer, quartz flooring system, or mortar making it an excellent choice for both industrial and residential projects.

Mitigation of Concrete Slab Chemical Vapors

January 29, 2020

How do I stop chemicals gas vapors from contaminated soils passing though a concrete slab? This is a question I get frequently from owners and environmental mitigation experts.

Background

Chemical contamination vapors tend to pass though a concrete slab and get into the air above. Stopping the migration of the gas through a slab is frequently a requirement of repurposing a space.

The following steps can be used to mitigate chemical vapors into your space above it. Without the right tools these vapors in the air from contamination under that slab can be quite pervasive.

Each job needs to be evaluated on an individual bases. The tools below make the solution less evasive.

Cracks through the Concrete Slab

The most direct way for soil contamination gasses to get in is through cracks. Cracks are the path of least resistance, so most of your vapors come through cracks in the floor. That is a very easy fix Product #684LV – Methyl Methacrylate Crack Healer and Sealer.

The #684LV has about the viscosity (thickness) of diesel fuel. That makes it easy to gravity feed into small cracks small porous areas of the concrete. It welds the cracks back together with a bond strength that is greater than the tensile strength of the concrete. In other words structurally you have the monolithic structure that the concrete was intended to be.

Expansion Joints

Expansion joints are the also a very direct route for vapors to come in. To seal these joints use Product #632 – Chemical Resistant Joint Filler. This is a highly chemical resistant joint filler. It will not only keep the vapors out. If there is going to be a chemical exposure to the surface there will it will stop the chemicals from attacking your concrete and further contaminating the soils below it.

Sealing the Surface of the Concrete Slab.

The next step is to prime the concrete with Product #12 Chemical Resistant Primer / Sealer.

This is where there is a couple of ways to go. You can apply an additional coat or coats of the #12 or go on to Coating the Concrete Slab below. Our optional translucent Synthetic Anti-Skid Fine may be added to the #12 if it is used in additional coats as a clear sealer.

The Product #12 Primer Sealer can also be mixed with silica sand and used as a patching material for potholes and otherwise damaged concrete if required.

Coating the Concrete Slap 

In many cases you will want to install a coating over the concrete slab.  There are a number of options for doing this but here are a few of the most common ones.  The biggest difference between these coatings is the chemical resistance. Please See Chemical Resistance Chart for a comparison of chemical resistance of the products below. All of these products are 100% solid, zero voc.  All of the coatings in this section are highly durable and resist the abrasion of traffic. 

UV Resistant Top-Coating

For jobs that will see direct sunlight.  It may be desirable to add an ultra violet (UV) Resistant top coating for the systems above.
