Tecnofloor Tw-3040

TECNOFLOOR T-3020 N

Two-component epoxy resin for flooring

Two-component , neutral color, aromatic and fluid epoxy resin as a cotaing. Once cured, it forms a continuous seamless high resistant to abrasion and wear coating. For flooring and coating surfaces for pedestrian and vehicular traffic in commercial or industrial uses.



Uses

For application in the following situations:

  • traffic areas as garages, car-parks, or industrial floorings
  • in areas such as the chemical and food industries and commercial areas
  • as protection against liquid spills and aggressive chemicals

NOTE: call our technical department about the application to other substrates or scopes of use

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

  • 100% solid, neutral color epoxy resin, with high fluidity and covering power, which once dry forms a coating with high surface hardness, continuous, completely adhered to the substrate and with great adhesion, without joints or overlaps and easy to clean and maintain.
  • Solvent-free, odorless (100% solids). Do not add water or solvent in any case
  • The application must be carried out on firm, resistant supports, and in conditions of no presence of moisture in the substrate or water from the substrate or backsplash, either at the time of application or afterward (pressure from the water table...). In the case of existing humidity in the substrate at the time of application, consult the technical data sheets of our primers where the ranges of resistance to humidity are specified.
  • The final product is made by mixing the two components delivered in the kit. In case of making applications with partial mixture of both components, respect the mixing ratio at all times so that the final product obtains the best product conditions.
  • Do not use heat cannons that burn fossil fuels in case of need to increase the ambient temperature. These conditions facilitate the appearance of white spots related to the carbonation of the material. Use in any case electric heaters.

PACKAGING

Metallic pail kit, in this format: 18.60 kg + 4.40 kg.

SHELF LIFE

12 months at temperatures between 5 and 35° C (41 to 95 ºF), provided it is stored in a dry place. Once the tin has been opened, the product must be used.

MIXING PROCEDURE

These are the steps for the correct mixing of both components:

  • open pails of both components and homogenize each one by mixing equipment at medium speed
  • add the delivered quantity of Pigments EP (20%) in component A, and mix until obtaining a homogeneous color using an electric mixer at medium speed
  • pour component B into the container of component A
  • mix using electric mixing equipment at medium speed, until a homogeneous product is obtained
  • in case of doubt, apply in a limited area to check

APPLICATION METHOD

The following factors prior to application should be checked:

  • previous preparation of the substrate according to its type
  • detail work (upsands,drains/evacuations, expansion or structural joints)
  • general cleaning of the substrate, removing existing dust, dirt, grease, or efflorescence

Cement or concrete substrates

  • the concrete must be completely cured (the curing process is 28 days), or in any case, it is necessary to check the maximum degree of moisture permittivity of the substrate depending on the primer to be used
  • previous preparations of the substrate through physical processes (substrate preparation (sanding, polishing, shot blasting, or milling) for laitance and reliease agents as well as for the opening of the surface pore, achieving a suitable anchorage profile. (CSP 3 -4-5, according to the ICRI)
  • existing holes or areas with a lack of material must be repaired using some or our epoxy resins: Primer EP-1020/Primer EP-1010
  • joint fillings with Mastic PU
  • in existing dilatations joints: remove old material, clean, and fill with Mastic PU. Use also Tecnoband 100 to cover, if necessary.
  • joint filling for installation, work and consolidation of surfaces.
  • general cleaning of the substrate, removing existing dust, dirt, grease or efflorescence. The substrates must be resistant and cohesive.

NOTE: For other types of supports, weather conditions or the substrate to be applied, consult our technical department.

APPLICATION METHODS

Paint

  • Apply a first layer of the resin by brush, short-haired roller. Consumption approx.: 275-300 g/sqm
  • Wait for its total drying
  • Apply a second coat. For the application, a brush or short-haired roller can be used. Consumption approx.: 275-300 g/sqm
  • On very absorbent supports or for very light colors, it may be necessary to apply a third layer of resin.

Multilayer

  • This system provides a non-slip surface to give the coating a slip resistance level of >45 (Class 3).
  • Apply a first coat of the resin by brush, short-haired roller. Consumption approx.: 300 g/sqm
  • Wait for its total drying
  • Sprinkle the surface with aggregates (Silica Sand) until saturation.
  • Once hardened, the remaining aggregate must be removed by sweeping.
  • Lightly sand the surface and then vacuum the residues generated.
  • Apply a second coat of the resin by brush, short-haired roller. Consumption approx.: 300 g/sqm

Self-leveling

  • In this type of application is possible to mix graded clean and dry quartz sand 0.1~0.5 mm. In mixing ratio of ±1:0.7 or ±1:1 depending on the temperature and desired workability
  • For this type of application, the material is poured on the support, then distributing it with a notched trowel with which you can control thickness and consumption.
  • Once past 20 minutes is necessary to pass a spiked roller with which the air outlet will facilitate within the material
  • The minimum recommended thickness to get self-leveling is 1.5 mm. without sand and, 3 mm. mixed with. The performance is more or less 1.65.kg/sqm/mm (pure material), depending on the degree of roughness of the substrate.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

These safety recommendations for handling, are necessary for the implementation process as well as in the pre and post, on exposure to the loading machinery.

  • Respiratory Protection: When handling or spraying use an air-purifying respirator.
  • Skin protection: Use rubber gloves, remove immediately after contamination. Wear clean body-covering. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after work and before eating, drinking or smoking.
  • Eye / Face: Wear safety goggles to prevent splashing and exposure to particles in the air.
  • Waste generation should be avoided or minimized. Incinerate under controlled conditions in accordance with local laws and national regulations.
