Epitek Screed
- Chemical Family
- Epoxy & Epoxy Derivatives
Minchem Epitek Screed is a high-performance epoxy-based acid and abrasion-resistant material designed to provide chemical resistance to aggressive chemical environments. They are typically provided in a two-component format comprising, an epoxy solution and an epoxy-based hardener, with the option of an inert filler powder with varying granulometry to suit the required thickness and application.

- Safety
Adequate ventilation must be provided whilst work is in progress and is compulsory for closed or indoor applications.; The instructions on storage, fire and explosion are to be observed.; No releases to the sewers or drains are to be permitted under any circumstances.; Ventilation is required with special consideration for enclosed or confined areas.; Air movement must be designed to ensure turnover at all locations in work area and adjacent areas to avoid build-up of heavy vapors.

- Pot Life
at 20°C - 60mins; at 30°C - 30mins; at 40°C - 15mins; An initial set occurs approximately 4hours after mixing, light foot traffic permissible after 12hours and with a full chemical cure occurring after 5-7days.; The materials should never be exposed to water, steam or chemical environments before a full chemical cure is completed.; Do not mix more material than required by pot-life.; It cannot be reconstituted. Never add unapproved materials to the mix, in particular water.; After mixing spread out on to the surface to avoid self-generated heat.; Large mixed volumes that are not thinned will flash set, becoming extremely hot and producing smoke.
- Advantages
Epitek provides good resistance to acids, alkalis, salts, waters, oils and fats but is limited in resistance to most solvents.. By simply adding various filler materials to alter the characteristics of the two-component epoxy solution, means that Epitek is exceptionally versatile and can be adjusted, depending on the circumstances and project needs.
