Repox-HB

High gloss, high build, low odor, heavy-duty epoxy coating


REPOX HB forms an excellent bond to concrete, block, steel, wood or almost any sound surface.  REPOX HB may be applied by roller, brush or spray (with the right equipment).  REPOX HB has a smooth, chemically resistant surface that makes this material suitable for lining most containment areas or areas requiring wash ability.


Purpose


REPOX HB is primarily used as a high wear, heavy-duty protective coating.  REPOX HB has excellent chemical and abrasion resistance.  The 100% solids formula makes this product useful for many different applications including coating, skid proofing, waterproofing,  patching of concrete or masonry, or as an adhesive.  REPOX HB will fill and level cracked, pitted, or some types of spalled surfaces.  The cured coating forms a smooth chemically resistant impervious surface that is easily cleaned.

Surface Preparation


Concrete should be etched with RELEECE manufactured CAPITAL or cleaned and degreased with RESOLVE manufactured by CAPITAL depending on job conditions.  Technical assistance is available. 


Application


COATING: New or unprimed floors should receive a prime-coat of REPOX-FC or REPOX WB manufactured by CAPITAL prior to application of REPOX HB finish coat.  On previously coated surfaces no priming is usually necessary, as REPOX HB contains no solvents to attack prior coatings and readily bonds to most surfaces.  Apply by roller, brush or spray, being careful not to over roll in a rapid fashion.  Apply in a smooth even film.

SKIDPROOFING: Apply mixed material with a roller at the rate of 100 sq. ft. per gallon.  Broadcast aggregates at 2 lb. per sq. yard while coating is still wet.

PATCHING: After mixing A & B together mix in 3 to 5 parts clean sand.  The resulting mortar can then be trowel applied.

ADHESIVE: Apply by roller or brush at 80 sq. ft. per gallon.  Maintain firm contact between surfaces until cured.
