Poxycon

Substrate

• Apply to structurally strong, stable and clean substrate, free of loose particles, dust, oil, grease, rubber skid marks, etc.

Mixing

• Remove the separation strip from the bag and then vigorously knead the two components in the bag for 1 minute to mix them.
• Apply immediately.

Setting time

• At 20°C and 60% RH, approx. 25 minutes.
• At higher temperatures, the pot life is shorter, at lower temperatures it is longer.

Method

• Depending on the project, use a rubber floor squeegee, a serrated rubber floor squeegee, a notched trowel, an epoxy roller, etc.

Waiting times

• At +20°C, respect a waiting time of at least 12 hours and a maximum of 48 hours before applying a second coat.
• If you expect the waiting time to be longer, the surface should be sprinkled with Poxy Quartz while the coat is still wet.
• The curing time is shorter at higher temperatures and longer at lower temperatures.

Application temperature

• Poxycon, ambient and substrate between +8°C and +30°C.

Curing time

• At 20°C and 60% RH: can be walked on after 1 day, mechanically loaded after 3 days and fully loaded after 7 days.
• This takes longer at lower temperatures.
• Protect the Poxycon from moisture during the curing process (approx. 24 hours at +20°C) .

Some applications

• Impregnate and/or strengthen Poxycon with a maximum of 20% Poxy DC, diluted on the surface until saturated.
• Consumption will depend on the substrate and application: between 0.3 and 0.5 kg/m².

Primers

• Apply Poxycon on the floor till it is saturated.
• Consumption will depend on the substrate and application: between 0.3 and 0.5 kg/m².

Coloured wear layer

• Pour half of the mixed Poxycon into the bucket.
• Add 1 box of the selected Poxy Color and mix well until you obtain a homogeneous colour.
• Add the rest from the bag and mix well.

Open-pore Poxycon mortar

• Start by applying a base coat of Poxycon.
• Then add the Poxy Quartz to the well-mixed Poxycon in the specially supplied bucket.
• Mix thoroughly (3 minutes stirring time).
• It is possible to use a slow-running mixer for that purpose.
• Mixing ratio by weight: 1 part Poxycon and 10 parts Poxy Quartz.
• Apply immediately.
• Consumption per mm of coat thickness on 1 m²: approx. 0.2 kg of Poxycon and 2.0 kg of Poxy Quartz.

Liquid-tight Poxycon mortar

• Start by applying a base coat of Poxycon.
• Then add the Poxy Quartz to the well-mixed Poxycon in the specially supplied bucket.
• Mix thoroughly (3 minutes stirring time).
• It is possible to use a slow-running mixer for that purpose.
• Mixing ratio by weight: 1 part Poxycon and 5 parts Poxy Quartz.
• Apply immediately.
• Consumption per mm of coat thickness on 1 m²: approx. 0.4 kg of Poxycon and 2.0 kg of Poxy Quartz.

Cleaning

• Clean tools immediately after use and any fresh spills with Poxy DC.

Personal protective equipment

• Suitable nitrile gloves, safety goggles and face protection.

Good to know:

• Friction and mechanical load will wear the surface.
• Stains may form during impregnation due to the difference in suction force.
• Weather conditions and UV rays can affect colour stability negatively.
• The base coat must offer sufficient pore filling. A second coat of Poxycon may therefore be required, or a thicker base coat.
