VIMEPOX MORTAR | Concrete floor repair

Specifications

Preparation of the composition

• To achieve the final properties of  VIMEPOX MORTAR, it is  necessary to mix component A (white paste with resin) and component B (black paste with hardener);

• Good mixing is achieved when the paste - mixture (A + B) has a uniform gray color;

• These two components are poured into different containers, in the required proportions;

• If you need less than the amount contained in the original packaging, mix parts A and B in a clean container using a ratio of A: B = 4:1 by weight;

• When using VIMEPOX MORTAR, you must take into account the temperature, which significantly affects the shelf life and curing time;

• At temperatures below 10°C, curing of the A + B mixture is inhibited without changing the system and is completed later when the temperature rises;

• A wet base has an adverse effect on the epoxy coating: this means that you must allow the wet base to dry (or force-dry it with a wind blower) before applying;

• Clean instruments after using VIMEPOX MORTAR using VIMEPOX SOLVENT;

• Installation / gluing of anchors and reinforcing bars VIMEPOX MORTAR, suitable for installation / gluing;

• Steel anchor bolts (chemical anchor bolts);

• Concrete reinforcing bars;

• Due to its thixotropy,  VIMEPOX MORTAR  can be used on horizontal and vertical surfaces, as well as on ceilings;

• Holes in concrete are drilled according to the following rules: hole diameter: D = rod diameter d + 6 mm;

• Hole depth h ≥ 10 d;

• To avoid strength reduction in each anchor bolt, the following values ​​were determined: radial distance between anchor bolts s ≥ 2 h = 20 d;

• Distance from a specific edge c ≥ h = 10 d;

Application of the repair compound

• For proper fastening of the anchors, clean the holes from the powder that remains after drilling the holes, using compressed air;

• Make sure the concrete is dry;

• Fill the holes with VIMEPOX MORTAR Paste (Mix A + B), up to about half of their depth, so that the resin overflows after the bar is installed. 

Consumption 

To fill a volume of 1 liter or cover 1 m2 thick, 1 mm thick, 1.65-2 kg of VIMEPOX MORTAR is required . 

Tool Care

The instrument must be cleaned immediately after application of the material using VIMEPOX SOLVENT.

 Storage and packaging

• Store the material in closed containers and places protected from direct sunlight, at a temperature of 10-25 °C;

• Duration of storage is at least 1 year. 

Note and Precautions

• Avoid contact of resin and epoxy system hardener with eyes, mouth or skin;

• You should also avoid breathing their vapors;

• Protect yourself by wearing rubber or plastic gloves;

• If resin, hardener, or mixtures come into contact with skin, wipe the contact area with a tissue and then wash with cold water and soap or a cleaning cream;

• The use of cleaning solvents causes additional skin irritation.
