epidermix® 326 – Epoxy primer for porous surfaces

• Universal primer for a.b.e.® polysulphide and polyurethane elastomeric joint sealants on porous surfaces.
• Convenient packaging and good pot life for minimal wastage
• Economical

Cement-based substrates must be fully cured prior to coating application. All surfaces must be sand blasted or mechanically dry ground, to remove all surface laitance and other contaminants, followed by blowing out with clean, dry, oil free compressed air. All surfaces must be completely dry.

Separately stir the contents of each container well. Add activator to base and stir together for at least 3 – 5 minutes.

Approximately one 250 ml of epidermix 326 to 6 litres of sealant and one 500ml of epidermix® 326 to 12 litres of sealant. No allowance has been made for wastage or the varying porosity of the surface to which it is being applied.

epidermix® 326 should be applied directly to the prepared surface using a brush.

Porous surfaces must be fully primed with epidermix® 326 brushed well into the faces of the joint, to ensure complete coverage. Avoid over priming which results in an excess of primer in the base of the joint. The primer film should be allowed to lose its solvent (approximately 30 minutes drying time) before sealant is applied. If, however, the primer dries beyond the tacky stage (approximately 4 hours) the surface must be reground and reprimed. When priming joints, use masking tape to prevent staining of adjacent surfaces. Protect the installed primer from wind-blown matter where necessary.

Tools, brushes and mixing equipment should be cleaned immediately after use and before material has set with abe® super brush cleaner
followed by washing with soap and water.

10 °C to 40 °C.

Two-component epoxy primer for porous surfaces. For use with twin-pack polysulphide (durakol) and polyurethane (flexothane) sealant types.

Exceptions: flexothane HS and flexothane CTW.

epidermix® 326 is supplied in 250 ml and 500 ml kits.

This product has a shelf life of 24 months if kept in a dry cool place in the original packaging. In more extreme conditions this period might be
shortened.

epidermix® 326 is toxic and flammable. Always ventilate the working area well during application and drying. Avoid flames in vicinity. Always wear gloves when working with the material and avoid excessive inhalation and skin contact.

If material is splashed in the eye, wash with plenty of clean water and seek medical attention.
Cured epidermix® 326 is inert and harmless.
