Resicote WB

Description

industrial floor coatings product image :: helicopter in hangar Resicote WB is a high performance, two component water based epoxy resin coating designed to harden seal and impart a highly abrasion and chemical resistant surface to concrete substrates.

It is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, and being water based is a more environmentally friendly system when compared to the traditional solvent based materials.

Resicote WB is a zero VOC system.

It has been used widely as a protective coating in:

aircraft hangers
workshops
factories
garages
warehouses

Surface Preparation

Concrete substrates must be at least 28 days old and be clean, dry, sound and free of laitance, oil, grease and any other surface contamination which could impair adhesion.

Existing floor areas require mechanical abrasion to reveal clean concrete. Enclosed vacuum blasting equipment, or equivalent vonarx type scabblers should be used.

Any areas which have been contaminated with oil or grease should be treated with hot compressed air blasting equipment. This will drive out any deep-seated contamination.

Any areas of damaged concrete should be broken out and reinstated. For small areas of thin section repairs - less than 10mm in depth - an epoxy resin repair mortar should be used. For larger area thicker section repairs a polymer reinforced cementitious repair mortar should be used.

Any cracks in the substrate in excess of 1mm wide should be chased out to a minimum width and depth of 5mm and repaired with an epoxy resin mortar. Finer cracks do not normally require pre-treatment as they can be flooded with Resicote WB resin coating.

Any existing floor coatings which are not soundly bonded to the substrate must be removed prior to the application of Resicote WB. Adhesion tests should be carried out to ensure compatibility with Resicote WB.

For newly laid concrete substrates which have been allowed to cure for the minimum 28 days, a light pass with enclosed vacuum blasting equipment is required. This is sometimes referred to as ‘flash’ or ‘brush’ blasting, and will lightly texture the substrate and ensure that all laitance and the remnants or any curing membranes are removed.

Any flexible joints within the concrete substrates should be protected with masking tape. The perimeters of the area being treated, along with any grids, drains etc. should be protected with masking tape.

Mixing and Application

Resicote WB is supplied in pre-weighed packs.

It is essential that all of the curing agent, pack A, is added to all of the resin component, pack B, and mixed for sixty seconds using a mechanical paint stirrer.

Once fully mixed, the Resicote WB should be applied immediately by brush, roller or airless spray, with most applications carried out by roller.

Resicote WB is normally applied as a three coat system, with the second and third coats being applied as soon as possible after the previous coats have cured to a tack-free finish.

In order to optimise inter-coat adhesion, the time lapse between subsequent coatings must not be allowed to exceed 24 hours. Should this occur, the coating will require light abrading and degreasing.

At an ambient temperature of 20^oC, Resicote WB may be lightly trafficked after 24 hours, with 48 hours being required prior to heavier trafficking.

As soon as the final application has cured sufficiently to accept light trafficking all masking tape should be removed.

Coverage Rate

The coverage rate of Resicote WB is dependent upon the texture and pourosity of the substrate but should fall in the range of 8-10m²/litre/coat.

Technical Properties

Resin Component: Blend of Bisphenol A and Bisphenol F type epoxy resins.
Curing Agent: Low viscosity Polymeric Emulsion.

Chemical Resistance

Resicote WB exhibits excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, and is fully resistant to the following:

10% Sulphuric Acid
10% Hydrochloric Acid
Petrol
Skydrol
20% Sodium Hydroxide
Ethylene Glycol
Methyl Ethyl Ketone
Trichlorethylene
Pot Life - 2 hours
Touch Dry (20^oC) - 4 hours
Primary Cure (20^oC) - 12 hours
Full cure (20^oC) - 7 days
Minimum Application Temperature - 8 ^oC
Average Film Thickness Per Coat - 50 microns

For resistance to specific chemicals please contact Optus. Please note that cure times and open to traffic times increase considerably at lower temperatures.

Colours

Range of BS 5252 and RAL available.

Packaging

4.5L and 2.25L composite packs.

Storage

In sealed containers between 5^oc and 30^oc.

Cleaning

Tools can be cleaned with water provided initial cure of resins has not taken place.

Health and safety

It is recommended that barrier cream, gloves and overalls be worn when using Resicote WB. For full details please refer to the appropriate health and safety data sheets.
