Cestel E300 Epoxy Primer
- Cestel E300 Epoxy Primer
Moisture Barrier Primer C1000 is a two component, low viscosity, solvent free, epoxy resin.
- Low viscosity
- Excellent penetration and stabilization of substrate
- Very good adhesion on the substrate
- Solvent free
- Easy roller applied application
- Shorter construction periods
- Multiple usage
Application Field
- Moisture barrier to help control moisture propagation in cementitious substrates with a moisture content not exceeding 4% by Tramex Method and residual moisture up to 100% R.H.
- For substrate consolidation on concrete, cement and gypsum screeds.
- Adhesion promoter for old and new adhesive residues in conjunction with our products.
How to Use
Coverage: 0.3 – 0.4 kg/m² depend on porosity and substrate surface
- MUST produce a monolithic, pinhole-free finish with a continuous film. The need for multiple coats is directly related to surface absorption. Dense substrates can consume less material and absorbent substrates can consume more material.
Surface Preparation
- Substrate must be clean, dry, sound and homogeneous, free from oils, grease, dust, and loose or friable particles. Paint, laitance, and other poorly adhering contents must be mechanically removed.
- Substrate must have an open textured surface to allow Primer C1000 to penetrate. (i.e. Blast cleaning, grinding are considered acceptable means to achevie the desired surface profile but . Acid and chemical etching are not acceptable)
- At least 50 % of the surface area must be cleared of residual adhesive and cutbacks. (i.e. by grinding or mechanical substrate preparation)
- Minimum compressive strength > 1160 psi. Tensile Bond strength > 116 psi.
- The floor must be cleaned with an industrial vacuum prior to installation of the primer C1000. Consult level/patch system manufacturer regarding priming prior to the placement of materials.
- Applicator must always verify that preparation of the surface is sufficient prior to using C1000 or patch/level compound.
Conditions/Limits: Substrate temperature during laying and until Primer 1000 has fully cured should be above 10°C and in case of radiant floor heating below 30°C. Application temperature of substrate must be minimum 5°F (3°C) above the measured dew point temperature.
Substrate Humidity: Subfloor moisture content should not exceed 6% when measured with a Tramex moisture meter or 4% when measured using the CM method.
Mixing : Mixing ratio A part:B part=100:50 (by weight). Add one full can of Component B to one full can of Component A then mix with an electric drill and mixing (Jiffy Mixer type) paddle at a low speed to reduce air entrainment (300-400 rpm). A minimum mixing time of 3 minutes shall be observed; mixing shall continue until a homogeneous mix has been achieved. Unmixed material applied to the floor will not cure properly.
Application Conditions
Substrate temperature Min +10°C / Max +30°C
Environment temperature Min +10°C / Max +30°C
Substrate Moisture Content
Moisture content by weight < 4%
Equipment Cleaning
Clean all tools and application equipment with cleaning solvent (Xylene, MEK are effective). Hardened/ cured material can only be removed mechanically.
