Epoxy Bonding Agent

EPOXY BONDING AGENT
TWO COMPONENT SOLVENT FREE EPOXY RESIN BASED BONDING AGENT
Description
Epoxy Bonding Agent is a 2 component, solvent free epoxy coating comprised of epoxy resin & hardener. After application to old, cured concrete
surfaces, the product provides a permanent bond for new, freshly mixed concrete, mortar etc. The final bond strength is greater than the tensile
strength of concrete which helps the total matrix to act in a monolithic fashion.
Standards: ASTM C881 Type II Grade 2 Class B & C
Area of Application
Bonding for old to new concrete / mortar / renderings
Bonding agent for granolithic toppings, glazed tiles, bricks, ceramic or terrazzo tiles etc.
It is suitable for use wherever structural bonding is required with concrete / mortars
Benefits & Features

Strength – As the ‘bond strength’ provided is remarkably higher than the concrete itself, no bond failure is likely to occur
Adhesion – Gives brilliant adhesion to almost all construction materials
Application – Easy to mix & apply by hard brush, ‘solvent free’
Moisture Tolerant – Provides excellent bond with old to freshly mixed concrete
Durability– Offers permanent bond to the structures joined
Resistance – Resistant to chemical / microbial attack
Workability – Enough open time to execute the work in a professional manner
Shrinkage – Comparatively very minimal shrinkage than PMM bonding agents, hence higher sealing & water resistance
Method of Application
1> SURFACE PREPARATION
Clean the surfaces thoroughly; all loose particles, oil, fat, grease, laitance, dust, debris, fungus and moss, floor hardeners, curing compounds,
bitumen and paint need to be removed in order to achieve required bond strength. Glossy surface shall be abraded.
 All laitance, friable concrete must be removed by chipping, scrabbling or grit blasting until a sound base is obtained
 Remove dust and dirt by mechanical scarification such as sanding, wire brushing, scrapping or grit blasting
 Visible signs of oil, fat, grease, mold growth, lichen or algae can be removed by acid etching and treating with a bio-wash, finally
followed by jet cleaning with water
Newly stiffened concrete should have cured until the shrinkage & moisture movement is low. Surfaces heavily impregnated with mould release oil
shall be degreased & grit blasted or mechanically scrapped off to remove the contaminated surface. All curing compounds should have
disintegrated.
Application carried out only onto a clean, dust free, sound surface.
2> MIXING
First stir the Base and Hardener thoroughly in their individual packs to achieve the uniform consistency.
Pour the Base part in an appropriate container followed by the Hardener part and mix them thoroughly by using a stout palette knife or spatula.
Larger quantity can be mixed homogeneously by a slow speed mechanical drill (~ 200 -300 rpm for around 2-3 minutes), fitted with a paint mixing
paddle.
3> APPLICATION
A. Epoxy Bonding Agent should be applied evenly across the whole surface with a clean, short haired hard brush or a laying-on trowel.
Special care shall be taken while applying over the dents & depressions.
B. Overlay of concrete or mortar needs to be placed within the product’s tack free time period.
C. If the application has dried before placement, apply a 2nd coat before placing the concrete / mortar.
D. Finally, spray the surface with curing product Berger HS Curecrete WP.
Precautions & Limitations

1. Before Epoxy Bonding Agent application gets tack free, apply the new concrete or mortar. Tack Free Time (TFT) depends on ambient
temperature. Higher the temperature, shorter the TFT.
2. The product must always be applied on older concrete substrate.
3. In case of rendering & screed application, it is essential that granolithic paving & sand cement renders are cured. This can be achieved
by curing with a fine spray of Berger Curecrete WP.
