Epoxol Putty - Versatile Epoxy Putty, Joint Sealer, and Crack Sealer

Applying Epoxol Putty - Instructions for Epoxy Putty, Joint Sealer, and Crack Sealer

Substrate Preparation:

• Make sure the surface is stable, clean, dry, and free of rising moisture, dust, oil, grease, dirt, and loose materials.
• Depending on the surface, you might need to prepare it mechanically to smooth irregularities and ensure good adhesion. Sanding can help on glossy surfaces.
• For surfaces that need extra cleaning, consider using solvent (Neotex 1021) if necessary.
  Priming:
• To improve adhesion of the epoxy putty (Epoxol Putty) and stabilize the surface, apply solvent-free epoxy primer (like Epoxol Primer) or another suitable primer based on your surface type.
• For very porous surfaces, you might need an extra coat of primer.

Application:

1. Take the required amount of epoxy putty components separately using different tools.
2. Mix the two components thoroughly in the recommended ratio using a suitable hand tool until the mixture is uniform.
3. Spread the mixed putty onto the application surface using a trowel or construction spatula, ensuring it fills gaps and adheres well.
4. The standard mixing ratio for general repairs and bonding is 1 part A to 1 part B (by weight). Small deviations won't significantly affect the result.
   A mixing ratio of 2 parts A to 1 part B (hard version) creates a sturdy epoxy paste suitable for anchoring, floor repairs, and electrical applications.
5. A mixing ratio of 1 part A to 2-2.5 parts B (elastic version) results in a flexible epoxy paste for sealing joints and gaps prone to expansion and contraction. Note that this version shouldn't be coated with other hard resin systems or coatings.

Special Notes:

• Don't apply Epoxol Putty in wet conditions or when moisture is expected during application or curing.
• Avoid continuous UV exposure, as it may cause chalking over time.
• If you store the product at low temperatures and it becomes very viscous, it's a good idea to warm it up before using to restore its normal consistency.

What is Epoxol Putty used for?

• Epoxol Putty is ideal for repairs, bonding, and sealing on various surfaces, including concrete, metal, wood, and more.

How do I prepare the surface before applying Epoxol Putty?

• Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, oil, and loose materials. Mechanical preparation or sanding may be necessary for irregular surfaces.

Do I need to use a primer?

• Using a solvent-free epoxy primer like Epoxol Primer can enhance adhesion and surface stability. Porous surfaces may require an additional primer coat.

What's the recommended mixing ratio for Epoxol Putty?

• The standard mixing ratio is 1 part A to 1 part B for general repairs. You can also use a 2:1 ratio for a harder paste or 1:2-2.5 ratio for a flexible, elastic paste.

How do I mix the components of Epoxol Putty?

• Thoroughly mix parts A and B using a hand tool until the mixture is uniform.

What tools can I use for application?

• You can spread the mixed putty using a trowel or construction spatula to ensure it fills gaps and adheres well.

Can I use Epoxol Putty in wet conditions?

• It's important to avoid wet conditions during application and curing.

Is Epoxol Putty resistant to UV exposure?

• Epoxol Putty should not be continuously exposed to UV, as it may chalk over time.

How do I restore the product's consistency if it becomes viscous in low temperatures?

• If the product thickens in cold storage, warm it up before use to restore its normal consistency.

Can I use Epoxol Putty for sealing joints and cracks?

• Yes, Epoxol Putty is an excellent choice for sealing joints and cracks. It's formulated to provide strong adhesion and durability, making it suitable for a wide range of sealing applications. Whether you need to seal joints in concrete, metal, wood, or other surfaces, Epoxol Putty can help ensure a reliable and long-lasting seal.

What substrates are suitable for Epoxol Putty application?

• Epoxol Putty is designed to adhere to a variety of substrates, including concrete, metal, wood, and more. It's a versatile epoxy putty that can be applied to different surfaces, making it a practical solution for a range of bonding and sealing tasks.

Is Epoxol Putty suitable for electrical applications?

• Yes, Epoxol Putty can be used for electrical applications. When mixed at a 2:1 ratio (2 parts A to 1 part B), it creates a sturdy epoxy paste that is well-suited for electrical applications. Its excellent adhesion and mechanical properties make it a reliable choice for electrical insulation and related tasks.

Does Epoxol Putty resist chemical exposure?

• Epoxol Putty offers high chemical resistance, making it suitable for applications where exposure to chemicals, dilute acids, alkalis, and petroleum products is expected. It can withstand the corrosive effects of these substances, ensuring the integrity of the sealed or bonded surfaces over time. This chemical resistance is a key advantage of using Epoxol Putty for various bonding and sealing needs.
