SYSTEM EUROPOX RCWA V

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

EUROFLOOR RCWA is a dual component, water-soluble coat based on epoxy resin dispersion and an amino hardening agent characterized by a high mechanical durability and chemical resistance.

APPLICATIONS

All types of rooms with a light to medium levels of use intensity (industrial, shops, wholesalers, offices, display rooms, hospitals, laboratories, aircraft hangars, nuclear power industry).

BENEFITS

• very good adhesion to the rough floor
• high resistance to abrasion
• good chemical resistance
• ease of maintenance of cleanliness

TECHNICAL DATA

SYSTEM EUROFLOOR RCWA

APPLICATION

ROUGH FLOOR PREPARATION

The new sub floor should be clean, well bonded and should not crumble. If required, it should be prepared using a grinding or scarifying machine e.g. Blastrac in order to remove the cement powder and the unevenness of the floor. The concrete should have a high durability (minimum of B25 concrete tested with “pull off” method and > 1,5 MPa) and be free from contaminations such as fat, oil, dirt , etc.
The old subfloor should be grit-blasted or ground – depending on its state. The durability of the ground should be >20 N/mm2. Cracks and pits should be evened out before the installation of the floor. It is sometimes necessary to use detergents eliminating fat and oil stains.

APPLICATION CONDITIONS – The temperature of the room and the ground should be no less than +10C. The recommended temperature of the material before application is 20oC. The material should not be applied to a rough ground if its temperature is lower than or equal to the CONDENSATION TEMPERATURE POINT.

MIXING AND APPLYING THE MATERIAL

The material is composed of two components capable of reacting. The components should be well mixed together before being applied with the maintenance of regulatory mixing relation which has a very high influence on the quality of the finished product. The individual components are supplied in amounts which are mutually adjusted. When pouring out the components to mix them, the containers should be emptied completely. When processing a portion of the packaging contents, it is necessary to weigh the components in order to maintain the given proportions. The reaction should not be accelerated by changing the amount of the hardening agent. When mixing the components, only use appropriate mixing tools powered by a drilling machine with rotations not greater than 400 per minute. The increasing the rotations above this level causes air to be additionally mixed in and increases the mixture temperature thereby accelerating the reaction and decreasing the effective life of the mixture. All components should be mixed approximately 2-3 minutes. The creation of streaks indicates inadequate mixing. After mixing, the finished mass is ready to be applied.

1ST LAYER
- the prime layer EUROPOX Z (option) should be applied using a velour roller.

2ND LAYER
- the structural layer EUROPOX RCWA – should be applied evenly to the ground using a velour roller. After drying of the material, the following layer should be applied. The system is composed of a minimum of two layers.

EXPANSION JOINTS

The existing ground expansion joints should be marked before the applying of the EUROFLOOR RCWA and after the hardening of the floor again recreated and further filled in using a polyurethane mass.

FLOOR MAINTENANCE

The floor should be often and regularly cleaned in order not to allow for dirt build-up on its surface. It is recommended to use alkali detergents dissolved in water.
