Application
REWAHPOX MPS PRIMER is
applied to the substrate in
order to achieve optimum adhesion of the subsequent
layers.
REWAHPOX MPS PRIMER
is a primary sealing layer for concrete floors to
which a self-levelling epoxy floor coating (REWAHPOX
MPS/SL) can be applied.
REWAHPOX MPS PRIMER
is also the adhesive connecting layer between
concrete and an epoxy mortar/screed (REWAH POX MPS
EPOXY TROWEL MORTAR/SCREED).

Directions For Use
Preparation
The substrate,
usually concrete, must be cleaned thoroughly, i.e.
all incompatible paints and oil stains must be
removed and any crusts of lime must be scraped from
the fresh concrete.
The concrete should
be dry (max. 5 % moisture) and free of dust.
Component A (resin) and component B (hardener) must
be mixed together in the right proportion.
The mixing is done
with a slow turning drilling machine and a stirring
rod. Mix until the mixture has obtained complete
homogeneity.
REWAHPOX MPS PRIMER
is an
epoxy-based system. Please comply with the current
health, removal and safety regulations. Safety
information in compliance with guideline EEG 91/155
is available. |
Precautions
A minimum
application temperature of 12°C shall be respected.
When the temperature is below 15°C, a longer setting
time has to be allowed for. Additional processing
conditions:
Relative humidity |
max. 75% |
Ground
temperature |
min. 12°C and
3°C above dew-point temperature |
Working Method
Apply the REWAHPOX
MPS PRIMER with a dry, long-haired brush or roller.
- As a primary
layer for the REWAHPOX MPS/SL, first allow the
layer to harden for approximately 12 hours at
20°C. Only then can the self-levelling epoxy
coat be laid.
- As a tack coat
for REWAHPOX MPS EPOXY TROWEL MORTAR/SCREED,
when the epoxy mortar/screed has to be applied
to the freshly applied and still tacky primary
layer.
Clean all tools
with ARTICLEAN or a similar Xylene based cleaner.
Safety information - Transport - Handling and
storage - Waste
Take the following
precautions when handling products based on epoxide
resins. Once the epoxide resins are hardened they
constitute no physiological danger.
In order to avoid
irritation which can be provoked when the skin or
the eyes are exposed to the products, just like when
vapors released during the application or the
hardening are inhaled, it is necessary to comply
with the following precautions: Avoid immediate skin
contact.
Rubber gloves offer
the best protection. Skin creams offer an additional
protection. They preserve those parts of the skin
which do not directly come in contact with the
products, e.g. arms and face.
- Wear safety
goggles to protect the eyes from
any possible splashes.
- Work clothes
saturated with resins must be replaced the next
day.
- Carefully wash
your hands with water and soap before smoking or
eating.
- Do not wash
your hands with solvents. Most skin diseases
diagnosed while applying epoxy resins originate
from the excessive use of solvents which
primarily dry out and nick the skin and
subsequently lead to dermatitis.
- Provide good
aeration around the work area while preparing
and applying the products.
