Epokitt Liquid and Tixo Epoxy Resin

EPOKITT is a liquid epoxy resin of excellent quality and enormous tenacity. Its low viscosity allows penetration into very thin cracks. Its characteristics are characterized by an excellent filling power, lower odor, lower vapor pressure and potentially lower risks in processing. It can also be used to reinforce marble slabs, penetrating the micro-cracks, or even by welding the glass fiber mesh in the rear part.

Epokitt epoxy resin is a product resulting from the reaction between liquid epichlorohydrin and
bisphenol A, modified with a bifunctional reactive diluent. Its low viscosity allows penetration into
very thin cracks. Its low surface tension also allows an improved surface wettability and adhesion
and a slightly lower viscosity for the liquid version. The reactive diluent increases its pot life as well
as its flexibility (impact resistance); it also limits the strength of the solvent and improves its
resistance to acids. Tixo version does not turn yellow even after years. Other features: improved
filling power, less odor, lower vapor pressure and potentially lower risks for what concerns the
treatment of epoxy resins. Thanks to its curing agents as aliphatic polyamines and polyamides,
EPOKITT is used in civil engineering where high loading filler (flooring), plastering, concrete
reinforcement, structural adhesives, high solid paints and applications to be injected into cracks, are
required. This resin can also be used to reinforce marble slabs, by making it penetrate into cracks, or
even by welding the fiberglass net in the back of a slab. On some types of granite, it may enhance the
wet effect. The EPOKITT has a low tendency to crystallization. In order to definitely prevent it, it is
enough to keep the product at temperatures not lower than 25 °C.

APPLICATION
− Prepare the surface to be treated by cleaning it up and possibly by sanding it with a 250
grit sandpaper to make it as uniform as possible.
− Withdraw an appropriate amount of resin and add the required amount of catalyst, according
to given ratios and mix.
− Apply a uniform layer with a roller or brush as needed and allow it to dry for as long as
necessary. The product forms a thin protective film that is completely transparent and does not
alter the characteristics of the medium on which it is applied
