Aquastatic water based epoxy coating is a universal, Water based epoxy coating system designed for easy and safe application. It has excellent adhesion to most substrates; it is principally designed as a membrane but Also serves as a sealer. Aquastatic water based epoxy. Is suitable for interior or exterior use.
Note for long term exposure to UV the surface will gradually yellow and Chalk. Aquastatic epoxy contains UV protection Additives & pigments, while it will have better UV Performance than a conventional solvent epoxy, the Backbone of the coating is still an epoxy when cured.
It is suitable as a final finished cosmetic surface coating or as a waterproofing protective underlayment for other cosmetic finishes. Aquastic waterbased epoxy possesses most of the properties of conventional epoxy resins with many additional advantages, particularly its tolerance of damp or wet surface application conditions or green concrete. It is applied in the same manner as ordinary emulsion paint and dries quickly to form a tough, easily cleaned coating, providing a waterproof and virtually vapour free barrier. Once cured Aquastatic epoxy will give a good finish with a tough durable surface, which is completely waterproof, non-toxic, resistant to oil, petrol and mild chemicals. Subsequent over coating can be Carried out after the original surface has been thoroughly degreased and cleaned.
FEATURES, BENEFITS, AND ADVANTAGES
USAGE/PURPOSE & BENEFITS
Aquastatic water based epoxy has many uses in the Building and construction industries, the following are just some examples. It can be applied to damp or wet surfaces. To achieve good adhesion. many concrete coating systems can only be applied to dry concrete.
Aquastatic Epoxy being water based, equates to no incompatibility problem with the moisture in the substrate, the epoxy backbone then provides an excellent adhesion to the substrate. It can be applied to green concrete, not only because of the damp nature but also because of the concrete curing process. When using conventional concrete coatings, the concrete should be left for 28 days to achieve a cure. During the concrete curing process the concrete forms loosely bound salts on the surface of the concrete.
When coated with conventional coatings prior to a full cure (generally 28 days), these salts continue to form at The interface resulting in a very poor bond and probable delamination of the coating.
When Aquastatic Epoxy is applied to the green concrete it actually forms part of the hydration process of the cement, the coating then forming a cement epoxy matrix containing the salts and therefore allowing excellent adhesion as well as maximizing the strength properties of the concrete.
It is ideally suited to provide a waterproof membrane in tanking applications. This membrane can be applied to either side of the structure providing the water head is less than 25m. It is normally preferable for the membrane to be applied to the inside to prevent water saturating the structure and possible corrosion to steel reinforcement in concrete structures. Typical applications are tanks, reservoirs, pools and ponds.
LIMITATIONS & PRECAUTIONS
Aquastatic Epoxy is water based and normal precautions for water based products should be observed. do not apply below 10°c, above 35°c or above 85% relative humidity. provide adequate ventilation to enable the evaporation of the water in the coating. note this is particularly important for deep draft areas like tanking applications. Aquastatic Epoxy forms a semi resilient membrane not a highly elastic membrane. so expansion areas need to be addressed as per conventional semi rigid coatings. refer to WMA for details. While Aquastatic Epoxy is suitable for light foot traffic (subject to the substrate), it is not intended to be used as a trafficable membrane.
