Two-component finish based on very high-quality epoxy resins, completely solvent-free, with extreme scratch resistance.
Excellent transparency and brilliance, high hardness, and excellent resistance to chemicals, mechanical stress, impacts, heat, and scratches, total resistance to carbonation, very low odor, solvent and VOC free.
NEW FORMULA! Even more TRANSPARENT!
Extremely glossy and totally resistant to carbonation (surface halos and streaks that may appear with humidity and low temperatures); the product has been tested under extreme conditions at 10°C with 100% relative humidity.
Main applications of the product:
- Protective finishes (indoor use);
- Final polishing treatment;
- Self-leveling castings (at low thicknesses);
- Casting finish for decorative resin paintings and panels;
- Protective coatings in general;
- Waterproofing.
A:B mixing ratio
By weight: 100:50 (2:1)
By volume: 100:57
Instructions for use:
After carefully weighing the two components in the same container using equipment with a margin of error of less than 2% (do not weigh each component in separate containers and then combine them, as this would prevent proper mixing due to product waste and losses in each container), mix thoroughly and completely until a visibly homogeneous compound is obtained, taking care not to incorporate too much air. Mixing must be carried out strictly in a cylindrical container to avoid dead corners along the edges, preferably with the aid of a low-speed automatic mixer. N.B. Maximum mechanical resistance will not be reached until at least one week after polymerization begins (test performed at a temperature of 23°C for both the substrate and the surrounding environment, on a 3 mm-thick specimen). *In winter, part A must be heated (simply place the container on a radiator, in a “bain-marie,” or near any heat source for approximately 1 hour). Allow the product to cool slightly before adding part B. Carefully mix A + B in a container, taking care not to incorporate too much air (scrape the bottom and sides thoroughly). Let the mixture rest for approximately 5 minutes before spreading it.
Especially in winter, it is advisable to warm the surface slightly before applying the product (a hair dryer or heat gun will suffice). The product must be poured generously onto the surface, spread with a notched spatula, and allowed to self-level. EPOCOAT 2k can also be spread directly “by hand,” using gloves with high chemical resistance (latex or nitrile); according to our customers, this technique produces the best results. Once the product has been spread, we recommend passing a flame, hair dryer, or heat gun (at the lowest operating temperature) over it, or spraying SOL_CAF ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL onto the surface, to help expel air microbubbles. If necessary, repeat the process until a visually perfect result is achieved. This procedure is recommended mainly for transparent works, to avoid trapped microbubbles in the film that could compromise the result. For “colored” works, you can use only a hair dryer or isopropyl alcohol (one of the two is recommended in any case).
