Thixotropic epoxy resin saturant (code ERS ™ 400 and ERS ™ 300) is a high-viscosity gel resin used for wet and dry installation of carbon and glass fibers and fabric. It is handy for applications where low-viscosity epoxy adhesive is not feasible, such as base plates, beams, slabs, and vertical surfaces. The drying time of the FRP paste epoxy gel is suitable, and it provides excellent mechanical and chemical stability after hardening. It is commonly employed for installing FRP rebars, as well as for FRP laminates, composite sheets, and steel sheets in the steel jacket method. Additionally, this epoxy is suitable for use in corrosive environments due to its high technical and chemical specifications.

Application Instructions Epoxy Resin Saturant(ERS400)

Additionally, when applying ERS ™ 400 epoxy paste adhesive and gel, it is essential to follow these instructions:

Surface Preparation:

Ensure that the application surface is clean, dry, and free from any contaminants such as dust, grease, or loose particles. Proper surface preparation will promote better adhesion.

Mixing:

Thoroughly mix the epoxy paste adhesive and gel according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Use a clean mixing container and mix the components until a homogenous consistency is achieved.

Application:

Apply the epoxy adhesive and gel onto the prepared surface using a suitable tool or applicator. Ensure consistent coverage, paying attention to specific application requirements or guidelines.

Curing:

Allow sufficient time for the epoxy adhesive and gel to cure according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. For optimal curing performance, Maintain appropriate conditions, such as temperature and humidity.

Safety Precautions:

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during the application process, including gloves, safety glasses, and respiratory protection, if necessary. Follow all safety guidelines and precautions provided by the manufacturer.

Tips:

ERS ™ 400 epoxy paste adhesive and gel should not be applied below five °C.
Avoid diluting ERS ™ 400 with solvent, as it can reduce its resistance.
Ensure that the substrate concrete has aged between 21 and 28 days, considering the curing and drying conditions.
When selecting a coating, consider the requirements for protection, aesthetics, and fire protection.

Frequently asked questions

Epoxy gel and FRP paste adhesive is a combination of resin and hardener with relatively high viscosities. For this purpose, these types of adhesives have a paste or gel-like state. They also have a good drying or hardening time. This matrix provides excellent mechanical and chemical adhesion and stability after hardening.

Epoxy gel and FRP paste adhesive, due to its high concentration, is very suitable for vertical and sub-surface surfaces such as the surface under beams, columns, slabs, etc.

Epoxy gel and FRP paste adhesive have a higher viscosity than ordinary epoxy adhesive. In addition, the pot life or working time of epoxy gel and FRP paste adhesive is longer than that of low viscosity epoxy adhesive.

Epoxy gel and FRP paste adhesive are widely used in strengthening and retrofitting various structures. Epoxy gel and FRP paste adhesive in applications such as producing FRP composite products and installing them on concrete and steel surfaces, etc., planting rebars and bolts in concrete, repairing damaged concrete surfaces and filling surface cavities, connection Structures of steel plates to concrete and other building materials are used as leveling and substructure of surfaces, etc.

Epoxy gel and FRP paste adhesive, with features or advantages such as high adhesion strength, high strength, high resistance to heat and moisture, good saturation, environmental friendliness, resistance to electricity, high resistance to chemical attacks And it has corrosion, curing or slow cooking, high user opportunity, etc.

The price of epoxy gel and FRP paste adhesive is determined per kilo unit. Due to market fluctuations, it is not possible to offer a single price per kilo of epoxy gel and FRP paste adhesive. For this purpose, to inquire about the daily price of the product, you can contact our sales experts in Afzir.

Epoxy gel and FRP paste adhesive, due to their high viscosity, are mainly applied by manual layering.

FRP paste epoxy adhesive and gel should not be applied at temperatures below 5 °C. It should not be diluted with solvent as it will reduce the resistance. Bedding concrete should be between 21 and 28 days old, depending on the curing and drying conditions. The surface must be free of any contamination before applying FRP paste epoxy adhesive and gel. Do not apply FRP paste adhesive and gel until the surface is dry, as curing may not be performed properly.

To apply epoxy gel and FRP paste adhesive, the surface must first be cleaned of any dirt and loose stains. Then mix epoxy gel and FRP paste adhesive according to the criteria in the product datasheet. Finally, apply the FRP paste epoxy glue and gel to the desired surface using a trowel or roller and allow to work well.

The color of the two components A and B (resin and hardener) that make up the adhesive and the epoxy gel of FRP paste are gray and white, respectively. Finally, by combining these two components, the epoxy gel and the FRP paste adhesive turn a grayish color. FRP paste epoxy adhesive and gel, at 21 ° C, provide about 90 minutes of working time.
