Description

ILPA EPOKITT EPOXY RESIN is a product resulting from the reaction between liquid epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A, modified with a bifunctional reactive diluent. With low viscosity, Epokitt epoxy resin allows penetration into very thin cracks. Its low surface tension also allows an improved surface wettability and adhesion and a slightly lower viscosity for the liquid version.

The reactive diluent increases its pot life as well as its flexibility (impact resistance); it also limits the strength of the solvent and improves its resistance to acids. Tixo version does not turn yellow even after years. Other features: improved filling power, less odor, lower vapor pressure and potentially lower risks for what concerns the treatment of epoxy resins.

ILPA EPOKITT is used in civil engineering where high loading filler (flooring), plastering, concrete reinforcement, structural adhesives, high solid paints and applications to be injected into cracks, are required. This resin can also be used to reinforce marble slabs, by making it penetrate into cracks, or even by welding the fiberglass net in the back of a slab, On some types of granite. it may enhance the wet effect.

APPLICATION

Prepare the surface to be treated by cleaning it up and possibly by sanding it with a 250 grit sandpaper to make it as uniform as possible.
Withdraw an appropriate amount of resin and add the required amount of catalyst, according to given ratios and mix.
Apply a uniform layer with a roller or brush as needed and allow it to dry for as long as necessary. The product forms a thin protective film that is completely transparent and does not alter the characteristics of the medium on which it is applied.
