Remmers Epoxy ST 100 is an un-pigmented epoxy resin binder that is used as an impregnation agent, primer, bonding layer, levelling layer and for the production of compression resistant mortars, flow covers and as a blinding layer for blinded covers. Low viscosity, good penetration capacity, plasticiser-free, nonylphenol and alkyl phenol-free, can be subjected to chemical and mechanical loads.

Application examples:

• Can be subjected to chemical loads

Preparation

The substrate must be firm, dimensionally stable, capable of bearing loads and free of loose constituents, dust, oil, grease, rubber marks and other substances that could interfere with adhesion.

The tensile strength of the surface of the substrate must be at least 1.5 N/mm² on average (smallest individual value of at least 1.0 N/mm²), and the compressive strength must be at least 25 N/mm².

When used in the OS 8 system, the tensile strength of the substrate must be at least 2.0 N/mm² on average (smallest individual value of at least 1.5 N/mm²).

As a general principle, systems which permit the diffusion of water vapour are recommended for use with anhydrite and magnesite screeds.

Substrate Preparation:

Prepare the substrate by suitable means, e.g. steel ball jetting or diamond grinding, so that it meets the requirements specified above.

Broken out or missing areas in the substrate should be filled flush with the surface using Remmers PCC systems or Remmers EP mortars.

Mixing

Multi-chamber bag:

Open the outer packaging along the perforation and remove the transparent multi-chamber bag. Remove the dividing strip on the bag. Then mix the two components together by kneading the contents of the bag intensively (approx. 60 seconds).

Combi-container:

Combi-container Add the entire quantity of the hardener (component B) to the basic compound (component A).

Mix thoroughly with a slow-speed electric mixer (approx. 300 - 400 rpm). Pour the mixture into a separate container and mix again thoroughly. Mix for at least 3 minutes at a ratio of 75:25 by weight (A:B).

In the case of filled systems, slowly stir the corresponding quantity of filler into the reaction resin mixture and mix thoroughly. As soon as the mixture is ready to use, apply it in full to the prepared surface and spread it using suitable tools.

Application

Impregnation/strengthening:

The mixed resin is diluted with up to 20% by mass of Remmers V 101 Thinner and applied to the surface until saturation, using a suitable tool, e.g. rubber blade, and then worked into the substrate with an epoxy roller. It may be necessary to apply several layers.

• Application rate - approx. 0.30-0.50 kg/m² of binding agent (depending on substrate)

Priming:

The mixed resin is generously applied to the surface. Distribute with a suitable tool, e.g. rubber blade, and work into the substrate with an epoxy roller so that pores in the surface of the substrate are completely filled. It may be necessary to apply several layers.

• Application rate - approx. 0.30-0.50 kg/m² of binding agent (depending on substrate)

Levelling layer/scratch coat:

The filled material (up to 1 : 1 parts by weight) is applied to the primed surface and distributed with a suitable trowel. If necessary, roll over with a spiked roller.

• Application rate per mm of layer thickness: approx. 0.85 kg/m² of binding agent and 0.85 kg/m² of Selectmix 01/03

Synthetic resin mortar:

The filled material (up to 1 : 10 parts by weight) is distributed with a smoothing trowel and smoothed.

• Application rate per mm of layer thickness: approx. 0.2 kg/m² of binding agent and 0.2 kg/m² of Selectmix 25

Base layer for blinded coatings:

The filled material (up to 1 : 1 parts by weight) is applied to the primed surface and distributed with a suitable toothed trowel or toothed rubber blade. If necessary, roll over with a spiked roller. Fire-dried quartz sand is then broadcast liberally over the base layer while it is still fresh. Remove any loose, surplus sand after hardening.

• Application rate per mm of base layer thickness: approx. 0.85 kg/m² of binding agent and 0.85 kg/m² of Selectmix 01/03
