Description
ALSAN FLOOR EP 041 is a two-component epoxy repair paste.
UNITS PER SKID:
1.5 GAL - 75
3 GAL - 50
Material Use:
ALSAN FLOOR EP 041 is a high-performance, two-component epoxy repair paste designed for structural and cosmetic repairs of concrete and masonry surfaces. It is primarily used to fill and repair horizontal and vertical voids, cracks, and surface imperfections. Additionally, it is ideal for forming coves or rounded joints between walls and floors prior to the application of seamless liquid flooring systems.
System Components:
ALSAN FLOOR EP 041 is a two-part system consisting of Part A (black resin) and Part B (white hardener), which when mixed in a 2:1 volume ratio, form a grey paste. It is typically used as a preparatory or intermediate component in a larger flooring or waterproofing system, especially in conjunction with seamless liquid-applied coatings such as ALSAN FLOOR or ALSAN RS systems. It may be followed by a base coat and topcoat depending on the system design.
Applications:
This product is suitable for use in commercial, industrial, and institutional settings where concrete or masonry substrates require repair prior to coating. It is particularly effective for vertical and overhead applications due to its thixotropic (non-sagging) nature. It is also used to create smooth transitions and rounded joints at wall-to-floor intersections, which are critical for seamless flooring systems.
Application Details:
- Mixing: Mix Part B into Part A for 2–3 minutes until a homogeneous grey paste is achieved. Mix only small quantities to avoid waste due to short pot life.
- Application Tools: Apply using a steel finishing trowel, taping knife, rigid metal squeegee, or soft rubber squeegee.
- Pot Life: 10–18 minutes depending on ambient conditions.
- Curing Time: Initial cure in 6 hours at 23 °C (73 °F); can be sanded or coated after this period.
- Full Cure Time: Not explicitly stated, but typically full mechanical properties are achieved within 24–48 hours under standard conditions.
- Temperature Range for Application: 10 °C to 30 °C (50 °F to 86 °F). High temperatures reduce pot life and accelerate curing; low temperatures extend both.
- Substrate Moisture Limit: Must be ≤ 4% as measured by a TRAMEX meter per ASTM F2659.
- Surface Preparation: Substrate must be clean, dry, and sound with a minimum compressive strength of 24 MPa (3500 psi). Surface profile should be ICRI CSP 3 or 4, typically achieved by shot blasting.
Special Notes:
- ALSAN FLOOR EP 041 is odourless and contains zero VOC, making it suitable for use in occupied buildings or sensitive environments.
- It exhibits excellent adhesion to concrete and masonry, with a bond strength of 4.13 MPa (599 psi) and compressive strength of 96.52 MPa (13,999 psi).
- The product is not UV stable and should be overcoated with a UV-resistant topcoat if exposed to sunlight.
- Water absorption is extremely low at 0.05%, contributing to its durability in moisture-prone environments.
- The product has a Shore D hardness of 85–95, indicating a very hard and durable cured surface.
- Clean tools with ALSAN RS CLEANER or petroleum solvents such as xylene.
- Shelf life is 12 months when stored in original, sealed containers in a dry, ventilated area away from frost, heat, and direct sunlight.
System Integration:
ALSAN FLOOR EP 041 is typically used as a preparatory repair and detailing product within the ALSAN FLOOR or ALSAN RS liquid-applied flooring systems. It is not a standalone coating but serves as a critical component to ensure substrate integrity and proper detailing before the application of base coats and topcoats. It may be followed by ALSAN FLOOR EP base coats and UV-stable topcoats depending on the system design and exposure conditions.
