CicofloorFS-50 Technical Data Sheet Solvent Free Epoxy Floor Coating issue 02/Oct.11

CicobondEP

Slow Set Epoxy Bonding Agent

Powerful Protection

Description

CicobondEP is two component solvent free

epoxy bonding agent.

CicobondEP has long setting time that allows

different repair activities to take place during

bonding coating setting time, like anchoring, steel

reinforcement and shuttering works.

CicobondEP also obtains high bonding strength

to concrete, which makes it essential part of any

successful structural repair.

Uses

As a bonding agent for structural repair

specially R.C elements upgrading.

For bonding old and new concrete.

Advantages

Provides excellent bonding to concrete.

Could be coated over dry and damp surfaces.

Provides excellent water resistance.

Ideal for hot and tropical climates.

Safe when used in closed spaces, as it is

solvent free.

Provides superior freeze/thaw resistance.

Obtains high mechanical characteristics.

Application Instructions

Surface preparation

Concrete substrates

All Concrete Substrates should be sound, clean,

and free from oil and grease. Any loose or weak

concrete should be removed using hand tools or

light mechanical tools (heavy tools are not

recommended). Its recommended to wash the

concrete contact surfaces with plenty of water 24

hours before applying CicobondEP.

For upgrading concrete structural elements, its

recommended to roughen the surface to add more

mechanical bonding key.

Steel substrates

All steel surfaces should be blasted or abraded

carefully using sandblasting, any mechanical

abrasives, or hard steel brush to remove rust.

Mixing

Stir the base only separately. The entire contents

of the smaller can (hardener) could be poured into

the base container and the materials should be

mixed for at least one minute by mechanical mixer

using a slow or medium speed mixing drill.

Insufficient mixing may lead to color variation.

Application Apply the mixed Cicobond

EP on the prepared

substrate using soft hair brush, making sure that

the CicobondEP is tacky when the new concrete,

screed or repair mortar is placed. If the overlay

time is finished, another coat of CicobondEP

must be coated.

CicobondEP is applicable to be coated on both

dry and damp surfaces.

In hot climate, its important to check the open time

first before applying CicobondEP, because the

high temperature of the substrate will reduce the

open time of the material obviously. We

recommend spraying the concrete surface by

water just before coating to help reducing the

substrate temperature.
