Adheres even to damp concrete

VAPOGRIP EP 2K is a water-based epoxy primer. It provides reliable adhesion where conventional solvent-based primers fail: on damp and fresh concrete.

Priming on damp concrete Section through a damp concrete surface: the primer penetrates the pores of the concrete and forms a bonding bridge on which the coating is built up. Concrete Damp concrete VAPOGRIP EP 2K Coating

Felhasználás

Where can you use it?

It adheres strongly to concrete, iron, galvanized steel, aluminum, glass and wood. Water-based and VOC-free, so it can safely be used indoors.

  • Under floor and coating systems

    As a primer for epoxy, polyurethane and cement-based systems.

  • Damp or fresh concrete

    Where there is no time to wait for the concrete to dry.

  • Negative-side moisture

    Primer for substrates exposed to negative-side water pressure and moisture.

  • Enclosed spaces

    Schools, hospitals, tunnels, residential buildings.

  • Concrete sealing, dust binding

    As a concrete sealer and dust-binding layer.

  • Bonding bridge

    Between old and new concrete.

Application step by step

The primer only adheres well to a sound, clean surface free of dust and oil, so substrate preparation is the most important step.

  1. Prepare the substrate

    Remove weak, loose areas by milling, sandblasting or grinding, and roughen surfaces that are too smooth or glossy. Remove oil contamination and vacuum up the dust.

  2. Mix the two components

    Mix components A and B in a 75 : 25 weight ratio until homogeneous.

  3. Allow induction time

    After mixing, let it stand for 20 minutes. If necessary, it can be thinned with 10–30% water.

    Tipp Add no more than 30% water.

  4. Apply evenly

    Apply evenly by roller, brush or rubber squeegee at 150–200 g/m² to the clean concrete, metal or wood surface.

    Figyelem Use the mixed material within 3 hours (20 °C). Do not use material in any way once its pot life has expired.

  5. Apply the coating on top

    The next layer can be applied after 24 hours (20 °C). Touch-dry in 18–20 hours; full cure takes 7 days.

    Tipp Tools can be cleaned with water after application.
