FlexGard T (309)
FlexGard T (309) is an extremely versatile product and may be applied over Thermal-Chem’s 309 FlexGard M where a flexible membrane is required or over Thermal-Chem EPIC system where concrete strengthening and crack control is required. 309 FlexGard T is a two-component 100% solids, low-modulus (30% to 40% elongation) moisture insensitive epoxy polymer. 309 FlexGard T may be applied as a seeded broadcast system, blended with selected aggregates for a trowel applied epoxy mortar overlay or as a slurry with an optional broadcast. It is Formulated for interior or exterior use this versatile product possesses excellent impact resistance and wearability, even when exposed to constant vehicle traffic.
