EP Booster

Prepare substrate:

The substrate must be level, load-bearing, dry, sufficiently tensile and compressive strength, and clean. Dust, oil, grease and release agents must be removed in advance using suitable methods (preferred method: shot blasting; alternatively diamond grinding with thorough vacuuming). Application should be carried out at 10-20 °C (room and substrate temperature) and a maximum relative humidity of 70 %.

Mix EP Booster into the B component:

Add EP Booster to the B component in the specified mixing ratio. Then mix the B component slowly and thoroughly with a drill for approx. 3 minutes at 300-400 rpm.

Add the mixture (EP Booster and B component) to the A component and mix thoroughly:

Pour the B component mixed with EP Booster into the corresponding A component and mix slowly and thoroughly with a drill for approx. 3 minutes at 300-400 rpm. If required, add EP colour paste/quartz sand and mix thoroughly again. Then process the mixture immediately, as EP Booster halves the working time.

For subsequent coating, depending on the product, broadcast with quartz sand or sand down:

1. If EP Booster is used with EP Primer or EP Levelling Compound, the layer must be broadcast with quartz sand while still fresh/liquid (recommended amount: approx. 300 g/m² for EP Primer and approx. 500 g/m² for EP Levelling Compound). Before applying the next coating, any loose excess quartz sand must be removed with a broom.
2. If EP Booster is used with EP Coating, the first cured layer must be sanded until it is completely matt (white haze) before the second EP Coating layer can be applied.

Never add more EP Booster than recommended in the mixing ratio, as the material will otherwise become too thick and difficult to apply. If less EP Booster than specified is used, the effect may hardly be noticeable. In addition, EP Booster intensifies the natural yellowing of the epoxy resin.
