Minchem Ltd (ACCS Ltd) PE120
- Chemical Family
- Epoxy & Epoxy Derivatives
Minchem PE120 is an epoxy-based acid-resistant primer or expansion joint material designed to seal and enhance existing concrete or metal surfaces. PE120 is a black plasticized epoxy system composed of a blended epoxy solution and hardener, combined with compatible carbon-pitch additives, to produce a permanently flexible compound with excellent adhesion to most dry surfaces.
Other characteristics
- Features
Abrasion Resistant, Acid Resistant, Chemical Resistant, Excellent Substrate Adhesion, High Impact Resistance, Oil Resistant, Stain Resistant; PE120 will form a membrane on the substrate surface improving resistance to abrasion, impact and staining.; It is provided in two-component format comprising, an epoxy solution and an epoxy-based hardener.
- Product Type
- 2K (2 component) Coating, Primer
- 2K (2 component) Coating
- Primer
- Application Method
- Brush, Roller
- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Concrete, Metal
- 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.; It is pertinent to mention that PE120 is flammable and all sources of ignition; naked flames etc should be removed.; 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.
- Markets
- Building & Construction
- Paints & Coatings
- Coverage
Typical primer coverage on a relatively smooth concrete surface for a mixed PE120 system is 0.5kg/m² at 1mm thickness.
- Pot Life
at 20°C - 60mins; at 30°C - 40mins; at 40°C - 25mins; 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
In comparison with more traditional paints or primers, PE120 shows a great advantage in that it becomes part of the concrete and will therefore not flake off.; It can actually restore defective screed due to its penetrative qualities.; The poorer the condition of the screed the greater the impregnation and therefore the strengthening effect.; It can be used in conjunction with glass cloth and mats, to build up a membrane, typically being applied between two or more coatings of PE120 to form a composite material such as PE120-GM290.
