Product

EPAR 121B

EPAR 121B is a solventless liquid epoxy which has very good mechanical strength, good chemical resistance and excellent flexibility. EPAR 121B adheres very well to concrete, metal and asphalt and can be used for road or driveway repairs, coating metal surfaces, protecting concrete, etc.

What's it used for?

EPAR 121B has excellent compatibility with asphaltic surfaces. It may be used as a coating onto which grit or aggregate is bonded to form a skid resistant wearing course. EPAR 121B can be used to line steel substrates for repair or protection (for example, repairing steel gutters). EPAR 121B may be used as a chemically resistant coating for bitumen and concrete surfaces, against acids, oils, fats etc.

The combination of flexibility and strength make EPAR 121B suitable as a joint filler where a small amount of movement is expected, e.g., expansion joints in concrete slabs. Rubber crumb can be mixed into EPAR 121B to increase flexibility even more.

What can it be applied to?

EPAR 121B can be applied to asphaltic surfaces, concrete, steel and similar substrates. It is self-priming and does not require a prime coat (unless mixed with aggregate).

Limitations

Not suited to vertical application due to it's self-levelling properties. For chemical bunding applications, testing of EPAR 121B using the proposed chemicals (and length of exposure) should be undertaken prior to application.

What's it used for?

EPAR 226 is a versatile liquid epoxy system. It can be used for:

  • Grouting or bedding of machinery, base plates, crane rails, precast concrete units etc.

  • General patching and repair of concrete when mixed with aggregate to form a mortar.

  • Repair of cracks in concrete by injection or gravity feed.

  • Crack injection of structural concrete – refer to EPAR 226XLV data sheet.

  • New to old concrete tie coat.

EPAR 226 can also be used as a coating/sealer for concrete floors (by approved applicators only).

EPAR 226 is suitable for coating the inside of water retaining tanks or pipelines in contact with drinking water.

What can it be applied to?

EPAR 226 can be applied to a wide range of substrates including concrete, steel, timber, brick, etc.

For high-strength concrete crack injection, use EPAR 226XLV.

When applied to surfaces in contact with potable water, EPAR 226 must be fully cured (5 to 7 days), then washed down with water and the washdown water discarded.

Limitations

Not suitable for application to plastic substrates.

When used as a floor coating, application must be by an experienced coatings applicator approved by Stratmore Construction Solutions.

EPAR 226 fully complies with the test requirements of AS/NZS 4020:2005 (contact withpotable water) to cover a cold water application up to <40°C, at the recommended ‘total immersion’ exposure of ~30,000mm² per litre of water (standard hardener only). Refer to technical data sheet for application requirements for potable water applications.

EPAR 733HV

EPAR 733HV is a high build, 100% solids, solvent-free epoxy system used to coat steel and concrete structures exposed to a wide range of chemicals. EPAR 733HV is applied in one to two coats to concrete and steel. It has excellent chemical resistance.

EPAR 733HV fully complies with the test requirements of AS/NZS 4020, Products for use in contact with Drinking Water (standard hardener only).

What's it used for?

Use EPAR 733HV to protect concrete and steel structures exposed to chemical immersion or contact, including concrete pipes and precast concrete used in sewerage systems. EPAR 733HV is also used to coat concrete or other surfaces for water retaining or reticulation in contact with drinking water.

Other uses are for lining vehicle inspection pits, manhole access points, bunds, etc.

What can it be applied to?

EPAR 733HV can be applied to clean, sound concrete or steel substrates. It is suitable for both horizontal and vertical applications.

Limitations

If EPAR 733HV is to be used as a floor coating, sealer, floor levelling and repair, etc it must be applied by a professional applicator only i.e. those that are professionally trained flooring applicators and are approved by Stratmore.

If the substrate coated with EPAR 733HV is exposed to chemicals listed as “Not Suitable” or “Suitable for Intermittent Contact only” according to the chemical resistance chart on the data sheet (or if the chemical is not listed), then the coating must be inspected for signs of damage due to chemical action.

Epoxy Crack Repair and Joint Sealing

To restore strength back to cracked concrete and fill and seal joints

Product

EPAR 122 COLD CURE

EPAR 122 COLD CURE is an unfilled, non-shrink solventless epoxy liquid that is primarily used as a cold-curing concrete crack and joint repair system. It may also be used as a cold-curing primer for concrete surfaces prior to the application of other epoxy systems.

Cures down to 0°C

What's it used for?

EPAR 122 COLD CURE is also used as a concrete crack and joint repair system in low temperature applications. Common applications are the repair of cracked and spalling concrete joints in freezers or other low temperature storage areas.

EPAR 122 COLD CURE can be used as a primer for EPAR liquid epoxies and mortars when used on rough, absorbent surfaces at low temperatures.

What can it be applied to?

EPAR 122 COLD CURE is suitable for application to concrete substrates.

Limitations

EPAR 122 COLD CURE will cure down to 0°C. Initial and final cure times will be increased at lower temperatures (compared to testing at 18°C). Ensure epoxy is cured prior to opening to traffic.

At very low temperatures, warm the substrate (with hot air). Warm the epoxy hardener and resin (stand in hot water) prior to mixing and application.
