6150rc one hundred percent solids epoxy

E2U Polyaspartic85 and PolyasparticRC are the next generation of 2-component, fast-drying, high-solids, aliphatic polyaspartics. They have excellent resistance to a broad range of chemicals such as inorganic acids, alkalis, amines, salts and solvents. E2U Polyaspartic85/RC's formula provides nonyellowing and long-term gloss retention for interior/exterior applications.
It is the essential product when a project needs a fast turnaround, a highly UV resistance, zero 
VOC and flexible system.

Poly85/RC Key Features:

  • Fast cure
  • 4x the abrasion resistance of epoxy 
  • VOC Free
  • Complete colour stability non-yellowing
  • Low viscosity
  • Solvents: 0
  • Highly chemical resistant
  • Low odour
  • Easy mixing ratio (1:1) by volume
  • Does not support the growth of bacteria or fungi

Preparation 

Concrete

Concrete should be at least 28 days old before coating. Remove all laitance, release agents, curing compounds, oil, grease, failing coatings, dust, dirt and other surface contaminants. Fill any large cracks or voids using Epoxy2U Polyurea Crack Repair or other suitable approved filler. The surface should be profiled via diamond grinding or shot blasting to ensure maximum adhesion. Moisture content of the slab should be below 4.5% (not RH) and RH below 75%, otherwise a moisture vapor barrier, such as Epoxy2U MVB15 or 6150RC should be applied prior to Poly85/RC.
Note: Mechanical preparation is the preferred method of preparing concrete for coating application. Shot-blasting, diamond grinding, scarifying and scrabbling are all acceptable methods. DO NOT ACID ETCH. EPOXY2U Australia, and its sales agents, will not be responsible for coating failures due to undetected moisture vapor emissions.

Coating performance is directly proportional to the comprehensiveness of surface preparation. 

Mixing and Application

The ratio of E2U Poly85/RC is 1 to 1. That is, one part A (resin) to one part B (hardener) by volume. Mix these with a drill and mixing paddle. Note: If using a drill mixer, use a low speed (aim not to exceed 300 rpm) to prevent air entrapment.
1. Premix or shake A and B sides 15-20 seconds.
2. Add entire contents of Part A and entire contents of Part B to a suitable mixing vessel and mix for 60-90 seconds. Be sure to stop briefly at this stage to scrape the sides of the mixing container to ensure components are completely mixed together. 
3. Continue mixing for a further 30-60 seconds.
4. E2UPoly85/RC is designed to be immediately poured on the floor.  Although Poly85 (NOT RC) has a pot life of 15-20 minutes. 
Once poured out on the floor, 15-20 minutes of working time can generally be expected for Poly85, and 12-15 minutes for PolyRC

Application:

Poly85 recommend method: Pour the product out in ribbons on the floor and use a squeegee and back roll application method. 

PolyRC recommend method: Pour the product out in ribbons on the floor and use a squeegee and back roll application method keeping a single continuous wet edge. Pour additional product onto wet product, not in front. Particularly over flake.

Safety

Read the Polyaspartic85 and PolyasparticRC MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET and any precautions on container labels before applying. MSDS are available from www.epoxy2u.com, www.epoxy2uaustralia.com, or by contacting info@epoxy2uaustralia.com
Keep containers closed at all times when not in use.
As with any coating; ingestion, inhalation and prolonged or repeated skin contact should be avoided by utilising good work safety practices.
Eye protection approved to AS1337 should be worn where there is a risk of splashes entering the eyes.
Always wash your hands before smoking, eating, preparing food for others, drinking or using the toilet.
Use in an area with good ventilation and avoid inhalation of atomised coatings. If risk of inhalation of coating particles exists, wear a cartridge type combined organic vapour/particulate respirator or supplied air system. 
Protective gloves and clothing are recommended. 

Clean up: While in an un-reacted state, may be cleaned up with acetone. Xylene may be needed once the resin begins hardening. Lastly, a strong solvent like methylene chloride may be required if resin is nearly set up. Failing this, mechanical removal will be required.

WARNING! SLIP AND FALL PRECAUTIONS
It is not the responsibility of Epoxy2U Australia, or its representatives, to ensure the installed surface meets any slip resistance requirements. E2U recommends the use of angular slip resistant aggregate broadcast, such as aluminium oxide, in all coatings or flooring systems that may be exposed to wet, oily or greasy conditions.
It is the contractor and end users’ responsibility to identify the relevant slip resistance requirements and provide a flooring system that meets those requirements. E2U or its sales agents will not be responsible for injury incurred in a slip and fall accident.

This product is not flammable.
 
CAUTION: Read and follow all caution statements on this product data sheet and on the Material Safety Data Sheet for this product.  

Shelf Life

Shelf Life: 1 year unopened for both the Part A and B when stored inside, out of direct sunlight at between 5C - 45C (40°F to 110°F). Use opened containers as soon as possible. Never leave containers open longer than is necessary.  

Liability

Any recommendation of Epoxy2U Australia contained herein, covering use, utilisation, chemical or physical properties and other qualities of the products
sold is believed reliable and considered general advice; however Epoxy2U Australia accepts no liability and makes no warranty or representation with respect thereto.
