A LTA Creation

 Prologue In building construction industries, Urban Architects normally stumble upon surface, which are wet or damp and find difficult to overcome the problem of such type of surface, while surface coating. For example, in a water tank where water has been stored for years, the inside surface cannot be dried out in a day or even with blowlamps. The use of any resin of solvent base will result in failure because such solvent base raging is not miscible with water and will not bond eternally.

Product Description ESKE Waterborne Epoxy is a two component epoxy resin based waterproofing compound. One part consists of epoxy resin and the other part with Hardener. The two components are converted into water base emulsion. Both the emulsion are mixed in equal proportions at the time of application, after mixing both the parts it can be thinned down with water. The hardener and resin will simultaneously react with cement surface on which it is applied, will develop a strong bond, which will make waterproof surface. It possesses all the attributes of normal solvent based epoxy compositions such as excellent water and chemical resistance, adhesion, hardness, toughness and mechanical strength. This is a cold setting, which forms water resistant and vapour- proof membrane over the structure; it heals in 24 hours to form a hard improver surface. It is having tendency to get penetrated into micro-size holes, crakes, porosities and voids in cement concrete One of the major advantages of ESKE Waterborne

Epoxy over solvent based epoxy is that it can be applied on damp surface also. Being free from solvents, it does not pose any health hazards or fire hazards to the user. In a single line, ESKE Waterborne Epoxy is utterly safe, fitting & economical to apply. Technical Data Characteristics

Cured Film Characteristics

Application

Outstanding Features

• Water dilutable.
• Being water based it penetrates in concrete / plaster surface, seals the porosity and network of fine cracks.
• Reduces water permeability.
• After curing it forms hard, tough and strong film.
• Bonds strongly on cement concrete / mortar, plaster, asbestos sheet, etc surfaces.
• Excellent resistance to water, salt water, dilute acids, alkalis, soap water and other chemicals.
• Excellent resistance to +ve (hydrostatic) water pressure.
• Non toxic
• Non hazardous, non flammable
• Can be applied on damp surfaces.
• Available in white colour, can be supplied in colour shades.
• Can be overcoated by solvent based and water based paints.
• Performs well in a temperature ranging from -20 ºC  to +80 ºC
• Resistant to the growth of fungus & micro-organism.

   

  Directions for Use

   

  Surface Preparation

   

  • Surface preparation is the most vital step before application to get results and to avoid failure.
  • The substrate must be clean and free of dirt, paint, oil, grease, sludge,
    blistered & loose plaster, fungus & moss etc.
  • Thorough wire brushing followed by sanding with emery paper is recommended.
  • Remove the dust by compressed air or paint brush or wiping with water soaked cloth.
  • Remove existing old plaster; fill the visible brick joints by Cement Concrete or ESKE Seal Epoxy Putty. In case of RCC Structure, etching of entire surface by acid, soap solution and wire brush to be done. 

  Mixing Mix Part I Resin & Part II Hardener thoroughly in their individual containers. Pour both the parts in a suitably larger container and mix them thoroughly together to a homogenous smooth paste. Dilute the mixed compound with proportionate quantity of water by slow addition to make it appropriate for brushable applications.
