EPODEX epoxy resin in RAL1001 BEIGE
EPODEX epoxy resin is ideal for a variety of applications. From construction, through electrical engineering and furniture coating. Coat your floors, tabletops and other items. Seal pictures or make your own jewelry. No matter your project, we can help you achieve it. Our epoxy resin systems are miscible with all our colors. Application examples can be found in the gallery.
Instructions for use
- Always start with an epoxy resin primer to avoid high material loss and blistering (layer thickness: 0.2-0.5mm). To do so, simply use a portion of the same epoxy resin. First mix the resin A-component as the colour paste tends to settle to the bottom. Then mix the resin A-component with the hardener B-component in 2:1 by weight (e.g. 1kg A + 500g B).
- Stir through the edge and bottom of the mixing cup as material will settle there. Ideally, pour into a clean mixing cup and mix again until the mixture is streak-free. This ensures that the resin A-component and hardener B-component are completely mixed together.
- Pour the resin-hardener mixture onto the surface to be coated immediately after mixing, as the product may boil in the mixing cup depending on the system and the amount of substance.
- Paint the epoxy primer with a paint roller or brush on the desired surface. We recommend rollers made of polyamide.
- Let the primer cure. The primer is after approx. 20 hours touchable/loadable und is after approx. 7 days completely cured.
- Continue with the main coating in the same way. Pour the epoxy resin to a maximum of 1cm per layer. Pouring over 1cm per layer is not recommended as the resin will boil due to the reaction and it can lead to yellowing, cracking and deformation. To achieve higher thicknesses, let the epoxy resin cure for at least 6 hours and pour the next 1cm layer. There is no maximum time limit until when the next layer can be poured. The main coating can be touched/walked on after approx. 20 hours and fully cured after approx. 7 days.
Info: Epoxy resin is sensitive to any kind of moisture during curing (risk of carbamate formation, i.e. white patches in the top layer). For this reason, we recommend that you avoid any contact between water and the epoxy until it has cured completely (at least 7 days). For thin layers, cold temperatures (ambient, substrate, and resin temperatures below 20°C) and increased humidity, the time until the epoxy resin is fully cured may be extended.
